Tuesday... Is it true? Is it?


Tuesday... Is it true? Is it?

Psalm 140:12b (NIRV) says, "He stands up for those who are in need." Do you know that to be true? Are you in need right now and do you know that to be true?

The world knows what we are against as Christians. And that is a part of our task, to stand against the wrongs of this world but there is also the benefits of being a Christian and there are so many and this without a doubt is one of them. "He stands up for those who are in need."

Are you in need? "He stands up for those who are in need." Now if you have never been in need then you don't need anyone to stand up for you. But all of us have needs, they're just different needs.

The Amplified Bible says it this way, "I know [with confidence] that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted." Now how do they know that with confidence? Because God has been there in their times of affliction and been what they needed to take them through those times. That is where their confidence came from. 

Have you been afflicted and in need at some point in your life and God was there to take care of you in your time of need and affliction? Listen, He will be there again. You can know that with confidence.

Satan is in the remembering and forgetting business. He wants you to remember the pain and forget the solution, to forget how God brought you through the affliction and took care of your need. That is the only way he can win so just remember what God has done before and remember what His Word says and remember that He is there with you, standing with you in your time of need and be confident in that fact.

Verses 12 & 13 in The MESSAGE says, "I know that you, God. are on the side of victims, that you care for the rights of the poor. And I know that the righteous personally thank you, that good people are secure in your presence." And you can know it too. Just remember, "He stands up for those who are in need."  Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
