Tuesday... It is so easy to take so much for granted.


Psalm 50:15 (NLT), "Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory."

Tuesday... It is so easy to take so much for granted.

There is so much in our life that we expect and take for granted. Psalm 50:15 (NLT) says, "Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory."

Yes, we have been given this thought over and over especially in the Psalms. We get in trouble so then we call on God and he will rescue us. And he does and we head on our living with expectations in our relationship with God. In trouble, call on him. Again, in trouble call on him. Yes that is what he says to do but there is more to it.


Verse 14 says, "Make thankfulness your sacrifice to God, and keep the vows you made to the Most High." There is more for us to do than just have the privilege of calling on him when we are in trouble and expecting him to rescue us.

We do that in our relationships not only with God but with others, especially in our family. We have these expectations. We take for granted what they do for us. And that may not be a wise thing to do.

Now there is a phrase at the end of verse 15 that is so important. The whole verse says, "Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory." "and you will give me glory."

The Amplified Bible says, "Call on me in the day of trouble; I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me."

Verses 14-15 in the New International Reading Version says, "Bring me thank offerings because I am your God. Carry out the promises you made to me, because I am the Most High God. Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me."

Yes, it is so easy for us to take so much for granted. It might be a very good thing to not save all your thanksgivings for that one day in November but to give thank offerings on a daily basis to God. And we need to also carry out our promises to God.

Again, "Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory." And it might be a good thing to also give thanks to those in your family. 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...
