Friday... Yes, I just need some help.


Psalm 61:2 (AMP), "From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help]."

Friday... Yes, I just need some help.

I live in a desert with mountains around us made from rocks. Now if it rains which it doesn't do too often but when it does it can be dangerous because there can be flash floods. Now we have a whole lot of visitors to our town and some may not understand the dangers of our desert and mountains, when it rains.


For example, they could be out hiking by themselves which is very popular and a rainstorm comes up and a river on a dry bed comes rushing toward them and there is a rock of safety but they are alone and can't get to it by themselves. Because they are alone they are overwhelmed. Yes, they just need some help.

Now we can in our life have so many situations where we need help but we are alone and overwhelmed.

David in Psalm 61:2 (AMP) takes that example and says, "From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help]."

Maybe that is where you are today. You are overwhelmed and alone. Read this again. "From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help]." That is truly a benefit of a relationship with God. You are never alone. He is always with you, behind you, ahead of you and he can help you when you are overwhelmed and weak. He knows what He is doing and He also has a lot of help. He has people who are ready to make a difference when someone calls out to Him. We are never alone.

Verses 1-2 in The Message says, "God, listen to me shout, bend an ear to my prayer. When I'm far from anywhere, down to my last grasp, I call out, 'Guide me up High Rock Mountain!'" And verses 2-3 in the NIRV says, "From a place far away I call out to you. I call out as my heart gets weaker. Lead me to the safety of a rock that is high above me. You have always kept me safe from my enemies. You are like a strong tower to me."

There you go. That may be exactly what you needed today. He knows. He really does, so just reach out to Him. Yes, yes! #todaysbeeginning

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...
