Tuesday... So here is where our worth comes from.

Psalm 57:2 (AMP), "I will cry to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan]."

Tuesday... So here is where our worth comes from.

King David was sitting in a cave after running from King Saul who was wanting to kill him but David wrote while in that cave Psalm 57:2 (AMP) which says, "I will cry to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan]." Now that is where our worth comes from. We as an individual are a part of God's plan and He will accomplish all things on our behalf.

So if you do not have a relationship with God then it is all on you. So many get their worth and their plans from themself. So I wonder how that is going for them? Yes at the time that David was in that cave it looked like Saul had the upper hand but it wasn't over yet.

The New Living Translation says, "I cry out to God most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me." That is really something to realize. Yes God has a purpose for me.

Let's say our parents have a purpose for us. They have it all planned out but they don't have what it takes to fulfill it. Even if we have a plan but in this day in which we live that it seems isn't enough.

Verse 3 says, "He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness." And he is saying this and praying this and believing this while he is hiding in a cave. And he believes it! Yes, he believes it. He has great worth.

The Message says in verses 1-3, "Be good to me, God - and now! I've run to you for dear life. I'm hiding out under your wings until the hurricane blows over. I call out to High God, the God who holds me together. He sends orders from heaven and saves me, he humiliates those who kick me around. God delivers generous love, he makes good on his word."

Jesus in John 12:44 (NLT) says, "I have come as a light to shine in the dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark." And again, David writes in Psalm 57:2 (AMP), "I will cry to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan]."

Jesus then says in verses 49-50 in John 12 (AMP), "For I have never spoken on My own initiative or authority, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment regarding what to say and what to speak. I know that His commandment is eternal life. So the things I speak, I speak [in accordance with His exact instruction,] just as the Father had told me." Yes we have great worth because God the Father sent His Son to fulfill His purpose in us.

Yes, King Saul was killed while riding his horse looking for David and Jesus was killed on a cross so we could live but was resurrected and is now with His Father in heaven. So, "I will cry to God Most High, who accomplishes all things on my behalf [for He completes my purpose in His plan]." And that is where our worth come from. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit?

Nehemiah 6:16b (NLT), "They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit? Over in the Old Testament in the book of Nehemiah it tells of a major task that through the leadership of Nehemiah was accomplished. The walls of Jerusalem had been torn down and God had laid it on Nehemiah to build those walls back up. It was definitely an almost impossible task but Nehemiah 6:15-16 says, "So on October 2 the wall was finished - just fifty-two days after we had begun. When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Now, we so many times want to take credit for doing the impossible. It would make such a difference for us. But I wonder what would happen through us if God got the credit? Psalm 96 tells us what we are to do. Verses 2-3 says, "Sing to the LORD; praise his name. ...

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 ...
