Bless The Lord
December 24, 2007 by Administrator.
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.” ~ Psalm 103 NASB
A few nights ago I read Psalm 103, but really stopped to ponder the first verse. I think often times we overlook verses like these because they are so familiar. Maybe it’s because we have sung them so many times or recited them. Truly, what does it mean to bless the Lord with all your soul? How can we do this? How can we bless the most holy name of our Lord with our very being?
No doubt the “bless” in this verse is referring to praising or honoring the name of the Lord. How can we bring Him honor with our soul? Perhaps it is the surrendering of our will to the Lord. Maybe our heart’s desire should be to bring Him all the honor and glory leaving none for ourselves. In what ways can we bring His holy name the most glory?

One Year Later
December 6, 2007 by Administrator.
Thanks be to God, today is the one year anniversary for The Isle of Hope! Before The Isle of Hope was up and running, I had a blog that was centered around politics. Yet, I felt like the Lord wanted me to plunge into a new site that was about the spiritual walk of Christians. So that is what I did last December 6th. Now I am bringing to the forefront the very first post that was put on the The Isle of Hope:
“There are many times in your life when all you see is the bad that is happening. Yet, all the time we don’t see what is going on behind the stage curtain of the world’s tempestuous waves. The Lord works primarily out of our simple eyesight doing great and mighty things. The world is not home. I long to be anywhere the Lord resides. Sometimes all I see is sin, wickedness, and total evil. I see the government abusing the rights of Christians; I see the schools shut down any discussion of God; I see the lost fake Christianity as if they knew what it meant; I see the believers conform; I see the fundamentals of the Bible tossed aside; I see my own faith daily challenged. But in all these things, I find my comfort in the Lord. I turn to my strong tower. I flee to the only isle of hope in my despair: the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift. ~ 2 Corinthians 9:15
