Monday... Oh to be really satisfied.


Monday... Oh to be really satisfied.

We search and search for something that will satisfy us. The writer of Psalm 90 went to the right place. He says to God in verse 14 (NLT), "Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives." We search and search and it is right in front of us.

Did that last item you ate or those clothes that you bought satisfy you? They may have for a moment but we get up each morning ready to go and search for more. We even search for love but is it unfailing? God's love is. It really is. And it will last forever. Nothing else will do that.

Verse 15 says, "Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery!" Oh, so many places we have searched only to be miserable. 

Now, Moses is the writer of this Psalm and it is understandable why he would also say, "Replace the evil years with good." He had to lead those griping people through the wilderness for 40 years instead of going into the promised land which God had prepared for them if they would follow him and obey him. Moses knew where to turn. He turned to God. Maybe you have lived in sin and you are so miserable and you need to turn to God and pray, "Replace the evil years with good." If you turn to him, he will. Just pray, "Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery. Replace the evil years with good."

He then says in verses 16-17, "Let us, your servants, see you work again;" He saw the Red Sea opened up and the people walk through it on dry ground and then come down on the Egyptians who were trying to catch them. He saw the water come from a rock, he saw the manna come down from the heavens to feed them in the wilderness, he saw God work in so many ways. So he prayed, "Let us, your servants, see you work again;" It is so good to remember so we can pray from experience and by faith, "Let us, your servants, see you work again;"

He says, "Let us, your servants see you work again; let your children see your glory. And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful."

If you are having problems with being satisfied in your life then make this your prayer to God on this new day, this new week and almost new month? Moses knew where to turn and you can too.  He turned to God and his unfailing love. Yes yes! https://todaysbeginning.blogspot.com

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 ...
