Thursday... We really need to know what to do.


Thursday... We really need to know what to do. When we are suffering and weak, we need to know what to do.

Well, Psalm 102 gives some thoughts on this situation. Maybe this is what you need today. You too are suffering and you too have grown weak and you need to know what to do. This Psalm is for you.

And here is what the writer did. He prayed and he shared his prayer with us. God wants us to pour out our problems to Him. He really does.

Verses 1 & 2 (NIRV) says this, "Lord hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help. Don't turn your face away from me when I'm in trouble. Pay attention to me. When I call out for help, answer me quickly."

He then lists his problems, he lays them all out before God. It is a good thing to be honest before God. It really is.

And then at the end he reinforces what he knows. Verses 25-27 (AMP) says, "At the beginning you founded the earth; The heavens are the work of Your hands. Even they will perish, but you will endure; Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they shall be changed. But you remain the same, And your years will never end." And then verse 28 says, "The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendant will be established before You." 

There are reasons why the Evil One strives to break down the reality of God creating this earth. He is striving to do all he can to weaken our belief in a God who created us and is there to strengthen us in our time of weakness. And we need to be reinforced in the fact that God is alive and that He will always be with us and He will hear you when you pray, when you call out to Him. 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...
