Friday... Yes, we will, yes we will!


Psalm 80:19b (NLT), "Only then will we be saved."

Friday... Yes, we will, yes we will!

I know, I know. We have so much ability, so much confidence but there is so much in our life where we need help and there is someone who really wants to help, in reality he wants to save us.

Yes, we travel along believing we can handle anything but we find we can't.


The Psalmist writes in 80:19 (NLT), "Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven's Armies." It seems that God allows things into our lives that we just can't handle and we need to pray that prayer. "Turn us again to yourself, O God." It seems that too many times when we are in control we are headed away from God with this great level of confidence but then something happens and we feel all alone. We just don't know where we are and we for sure don't know where God is and we need help. We may even realize that we are headed in the wrong direction away from God. And that is not a good place to be.

So we need to pray, "Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven's Armies. Make your face shine down upon us." And then it says, "Only then will we be saved." Somehow we need to get that into our heart and mind. "Only then will we be saved." "Only then will we be saved."

We were not created to do life on our own. We need God, we need God. We really do.

Maybe you are in the middle of a situation and you are on your own. So you need to stop and pray this prayer. "Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven's Armies. Make your face shine down upon us." And in that time of pray we must realize that, "only then will we be saved."

Verse 18b says, "Revive us so we can call on your name once more." The Message says, "Bring life into our lungs so we can shout your name!" And "only then will we be saved." Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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 ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
