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

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 ...
