Tuesday... This is such an encouragement for today and it's the truth.


Psalm 138;3 (AMP), "On the day I called, You answered me; And you made me bold and confident with [renewed] strength in my life."

Tuesday... This is such an encouragement for today and it's the truth.

And the fact that it is the truth is so important to us, isn't it?

Over in Deuteronomy 18:21-22 (NIV) it says, "You may say to yourselves, 'How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?' If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed."


Now over in Psalm 138 King David says something that we can believe is from the Lord. He says in verse 2 (NLT), "I bow before your holy Temple as I worship. I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by the honor of your name." There, that is so important to know. And then the word of encouragement. Verse 3 (AMP) says, "On the day I called, You answered me; And you made me bold and confident with [renewed] strength in my life."  There are two important words, "bold and confident."

Do you need that encouragement today? The NLT says, "As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength." 

Now this is also important to know and it is about us. Verse 6 says, "Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud." Again, "As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength." "Though the Lord is great, he cares for the humble, but he keeps his distance from the proud." That is so important.

And here is some more encouragement. Verses 7-8 says, "Though I am surrounded by trouble, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me. The Lord will work out his plans for my life - for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don't abandon me, for you, made me." 

Now that is such an encouragement for today and it's the truth. 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...
