Saturday... In what you are going through have you ever wondered if someone is praying for you or even what you can pray for? Have you?

In Psalm 20 David prayed for you. In verse 1 (NIV) he says, "May the Lord answer you when you are in distress; may the Lord protect you." He prayed that for you.

He then prays in verse 2 (Amp), "May He send you help from his sanctuary (His dwelling place) and support and strengthen you from Zion." Verse 3 (NCV), "May He remember all your offerings and accept your sacrifices."

And then in verse 4 (NLT) he says, "May he grant your heart's desires and make all you plans succeed." and verse 5b, "May the Lord answer all your prayers."

Again, may the Lord answer you, may He protect you and send you help, may He support and strengthen you, may He remember and accept your gifts and sacrifices, may He grant your desires and make your plans succeed and may the Lord answer all your prayers."

He then says in verse 7 (NIVR), "Some trust in chariots. Some trust in horses. But we trust in the Lord our God." And then David asks in verse 9, "Answer us when we call out to you!"

No matter what you are going through today, put your trust in God, call out to Him and He will answer you! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do

Psalm 8:3-4 (NLT), "When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and the stars you set in place - what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?" Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do. No, not the fact that I can go out my front door and look out at night at the marvels of the sky. I can do that and it is amazing and it takes my breath away each time I see it. Yes, that is a fact but the reality of who did that and the wisdom and the faith that I have to believe that and to marvel that the one who did that cares about me makes such a difference in how I live my life. Yes, God really does. That is so wonderful for us to believe. And that is why faith and wisdom are so important. Now whatever belief you have at how that marvel happened must also be believed through faith. And the sad thing to me is that more and more people have been taught that there is no God and therefore he did not have a h...

Tuesday... Each one of us see and describe what we are going through differently but... We each one have our own way of explaining what we are going through, don't we? Some of us are maximisers, other are minimizers and neither one is better. We each one are different and we see what we are facing differently but no matter what it is and how you see it and describe it, God can handle it! Now the writer of Psalm 46 shows the extremes. In verse 1 he states the basic reality and then he moves on into our fears and he maximizes them to make sure we really understand. Here is what Psalm 46:1-3 (NLT) says, "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!" So what do you fear? The Amplified Bible says verse 1 this way, "God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], a very presen...

Wednesday... It didn't just happen.

Psalm 16;10 (NLT), "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." Wednesday... It didn't just happen. We are headed into a weekend of deep emotion. One that we really really love was killed and it didn't just happen. David in Psalm 16:10 (NLT) writes of this happening. He says about God, "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." We read over in the Gospels at the beginning of the New Testament in the Bible of the life of God's Son who came to earth to be our sacrifice so that our soul would not be left among the dead. Jesus came so that we wouldn't have to be buried at death and just left there. But he also shares that Jesus who was going to be killed as a sacrifice for our sins would not have to rot in a grave. David many generations before foretold this and that is what happened. Now that had to be a God thing. We can guess a lot about our future and we d...
