Tuesday... We sometimes are tempted to take the credit.


Tuesday... We sometimes are tempted to take the credit. But did we really do it?

David in Psalm 30:1 (MSG) says, "I give you all the credit, God - you got me out of that mess, you didn't let my foes gloat."

Now maybe we need to take the credit for the mess. That may have been our fault but even if we showed some wisdom in getting out of it the wisdom came from God. 

Verses 2 & 3 (NLT) says, "O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health. You brought me up from the grave, O Lord you kept me from falling into the pit of death."

Even in our health, we love to take credit. Some would take credit because they wore a mask or they took the shots or they didn't take the shots or they didn't wear the mask. The whole Covid world that we have lived in has brought people into a great patting themselves on the back, of taking credit because of what they did or didn't do. I mean the conflict that has come like we should take the credit. 

"I give you all the credit, God - you got me out of that mess, you didn't let my foes gloat." David was a king. He wrote this Psalm for the dedication of the Temple. He knew who should get the credit. If our political leaders would quit taking all the credit and placing all the blame and acknowledge that they maybe are a partial cause of our problems and acknowledge that we need God and we need to cry out to God for help and then give Him the credit for getting us out of the mess then things would be different. And if we as individuals would do the same. We need a revival of who should get the credit.

Verses 2-3 (MSG) says, "God, my God, I yelled for help and you put me together, God, you pulled me out of the grave, gave me another chance at life when I was down-and-out." Again, "God, you pulled me out of the grave, gave me another chance at life when I was down-and-out." 

Verses 11-12 says, "You did it, you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers. I'm about to burst with song; I can't keep quiet about you God, my God. I can't thank you enough."

Verse 12 (NLT), "that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever." Maybe we need a revival of who should get the credit. "I give you all the credit, God - you got me out of that mess, you didn't let my foes gloat. 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...
