Wednesday... Give me help for this hard task!


Psalm 108:12-13 (MSG), "Give us help for the hard task; human help is worthless. In God we'll do our very best; he'll flatten the opposition for good."

Wednesday... Give me help for this hard task!

Yes, we need help, real help. Not just any help. There are some situations in our lives that we need help from someone who is greater than the situation. There are some really hard tasks that we face and we want to run from them but we can't. Maybe you are facing one today and you need help, real help.


Now verse 1 in the New Living Translation says, "My heart is confident in you, O God; no wonder I can sing your praises." We may not be confident in ourselves and even other people but we can be confident in God.

Verse 4 says, "For your unfailing love is higher than the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches the clouds." There are just some things that can only be done with someone who is greater than the hard task. Verse 5 says, "Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth."

Proverbs 18:10 says, "The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe."

So what is it you are facing? We really don't like those hard tasks, do we? And it can be so hard to ask for help. 

So with confidence just ask, "Give us help for the hard task; human help is worthless." But know this, "In God we'll do our very best; he'll flatten the opposition for good." Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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 ...
