Wednesday... I like to be victorious, don't you?


Wednesday... I like to be victorious, don't you? But it is horrible to be on the losing side, isn't it? It all depends on who is on your side, who is with you, whom you are with.

Psalm 44:4 (NLT) says, "You are my King and my God. You command victories for Israel." That's who I want on my side. If He did it for them, He will do it for us.

Verses 5-7 says, "Only by your power can we push back our enemies;" We can't do it alone. "only in your name can we trample our foes." Here is a smart thought. "I do not trust in my bow;" So many do. "I do not count on my sword to save me." So many do, but here it is, "You are the one who gives us victory over our enemies; you disgrace those who hate us."

We can't be victorious alone? Yes, we may have great abilities but we can't do it alone. We need God on our side, in our life, in our heart. 

Verse 8 says, "O God, we give glory to you all day long and constantly praise your name."

So are you going it alone? Are you facing all that is happening alone? Yes, you may have great abilities and you may be victorious at the moment but it isn't over yet. So why not be smart and get on the winning side. Ask God to come into your life, into your heart. Put your trust in Him.

As the Psalmist says, "You are the one who gives us victory." And then verse 26 says, "Rise up. Help us! Ransom us because of your unfailing love." And He wants to do that in your life. Just invite Him in to your life. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

Friday... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...
