Hope for the hopeless

I love Psalm 10 because I feel this way many times towards God.
I love verse one. It seems that when we enter hard times that God is not near but He is. We must seek the Lord and God will honor us.
I love verses two to four. There are many famous and non-famous people that reject God and promote sin. They will accept everything but truth. We have a hole in our lives that only God will fill but they refuse the truth.
I love verse five to eleven because many people will think that God is not real and do many evil things. This is from Hitler to you or the person next to you.
We need to know God will judge you and me and He is kind but we must submit to Him.
If a person don't have Jesus then they don't have the Holy Spirit. That person will do little and big bad activities in their hearts and actions.
I don't want to make all the believers that everything is for nothing because there is a next life where God will rule and punish all the sins of this world.
I love verses twelve to fifteen because it gives me hope. The world will never focus on the millions or billion of Christians in Africa that is being killed by Muslims, but God see the act of the followers and will hear them.
The last three verses should give hope for you and me. God is in control. God look after the fatherless. I am living proof. I did have a dad but he was never there for me. God was reaching out to me and I heard His call. God hears the oppressed and He will give them peace. This world shows that we are weak and we need to follow the Lord Jesus.

Psalm 10

  
Why, Lord, do you stand far off?
    Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,
    who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts about the cravings of his heart;
    he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
    in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous;
    your laws are rejected by  him;
    he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
    He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”
His mouth is full of lies and threats;
    trouble and evil are under his tongue.
He lies in wait near the villages;
    from ambush he murders the innocent.
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
    like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;
    he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
10 His victims are crushed, they collapse;
    they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;
    he covers his face and never sees.”
12 Arise, Lord! Lift up your hand, O God.
    Do not forget the helpless.
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?
    Why does he say to himself,
    “He won’t call me to account”?
14 But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted;
    you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;
    you are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;
    call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
    that would not otherwise be found out.
16 The Lord is King for ever and ever;
    the nations will perish from his land.
17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted;
    you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
    so that mere earthly mortals
    will never again strike terror.

Feeling weak

None of us are strong
Temptation seize the soul
We give in all the time

Different spot gets our attention
Men fall for  the flesh of a woman
Women have their own sins

Wish that I could say that
That I don't like temptation
But I play with that friend

Times wondering why I feel weak
Truth is that I give in to easy
The devil and world in life

The cross gives forgiveness
Do I turn my folly?
Yes and then no

I am not perfect yet
So I need to draw near
In prayer and the Bible

Lord give me strength
For I am feeling weak
Let me lean on You

The Paris Climate Agreement Won't Change The Climate

There are much noise about the Paris Climate Agreement and it is always in the news.
They have 178 countries that signed this agreement in 2016.
Laurent Fabius, the French Foreign Minister called it a Historic turning point.
Gina McCarthy, the head of the EPA, in the committee on Science, Space and Technology.
Her statement was this, "the Paris Agreement was an incredible achievement."
There were questions about how much will this treaty reduce global temperatures?
She would not or could not say. It seems like a big bark and not bite in this agreement.
The cost of this agreement is great but reduce very little to reduce global warming.
I will look at the Obama plan on the Clean Power Plan. This plan will accomplish nothing.
If the United States did the Paris Climate Agreement and Clean Power Plan until 2100.
The temperature increase reduction would be only 0.023 percent.
If the United States did what Obama wants, it would postpone global warming by 8 months at the end of the century.
 Let's assume all the carbon cuts according the Paris Climate Agreement are met and sustained to 2100. The temperature would dropped by 0.3 degrees. The same as postponing global warming for four years.
Again, this is using the UN's own Climate Prediction Model. These little results are not free.
The cost of the Paris Agreement will be up in 1 to 2 trillion dollars every year, the numbers are from the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum and the Asia Modeling Exercise.
Let me break it down. We will spend at least 100 trillion dollars to reduce the temperature by the end of the century by the great number of 0.3 degrees.
Still some people that support this will say, "its real impact on temperature will be greater then what the UN model will predicts."
This is based on wishful thinking. The Climate Action Tracker which many will quote. They think 1.6 degree reduction by the end of the century. This prediction is assuming that even stronger climate policy will be part in practice in the future.
98% of the assumption will occur of the year of 2030. The Paris Agreement will only get to 1% of the 2 degrees target.
99% are put off until the year of 2030. The Paris Agreement is the wrong solution to a real problem.
Bill Gates have an other idea in Breakthrough. Bill gates announced that private investors are committing 7 billion dollars for clean energy R&D.      
Instead of big government and the popular ideas that we hear in common talk.
Those who want to combat Climate Change should focus on boosting Green Energy Innovation.
The United States has reduce the cost of natural gas which means people will use natural gas instead of coal. It has lowered CO2 emission better the big government policies.
Maybe the leaders in Paris, France should meet at Paris, Texas. Have a great night.
