Thursday... Please, Help Our Response Every day.


Thursday... Please, Help Our Response Every day. So where will you turn for your HOPE for today?

Is it all on self control, self will, self motivation, self confidence? So how is that going?

The writer of Psalm 130 (NIRV) in verse 5 says, "With all my heart I wait for the Lord to help me. I put my hope in his word." Do you turn to God's word for hope? Do you turn to Him to help you in your response to each new day because how you respond to the happenings of each new day go a long way in your enjoyment, in your productivity, and in living out God's purpose for each new day.

Verse 6 says, "I wait for the Lord to help me. I want his help more than night watchmen want the morning to come. I'll say it again. I want his help more than the night watchman want the morning to come." 

Verse 7 (NLT), "O Israel (O ____, put your name there), hope in the Lord for with the Lord there is unfailing love. His redemption overflows." And by the way, verse 8 says, "He himself will redeem Israel from every kind of sin." And that makes so much difference in how we respond to each new day, doesn't it? We face it without the weight of our failures and our sins. 

Verses 3 & 4 (MSG), "If you, God, kept records on wrongdoing, who would stand a chance? As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit, and that's why you're worshiped." 

So again, verse 5 (NLT), "I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word." Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
