Monday... We heighten our awareness in times of danger.


Psalm 57:3b (NLT), "My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness."

Monday... We heighten our awareness in times of danger.

Have you found that we do that. Yes we heighten our awareness of our need for God when we are going through difficult times but there is more to God than just that.

Psalm 57:1-3 (NLT) says, "Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by." Yes, that is a great time to have a relationship with God. We heighten our awareness of our need for God in times of danger. But David writes that those times of danger will pass by. Yes, God is great in those times but there is more to our relationship with God than times of danger.


Verses 2-3a says, "I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me."

And the end of verse 3 says, "My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness." Having a relationship with a God who unfailingly loves me and who is faithful is unbelievable but we can take that for granted.

Listen, we can have a personal relationship with a God who unfailing loves us and is faithful. He always is there no matter what we are going through. As Paul says over in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (MSG), "Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens." He is with me, continually with me no matter what is happening because he unfailingly loves me and he is faithful to me.

Verse 3b in the CEV says, "You are faithful, and you can be trusted." The AMP says, "God will send out His lovingkindness and His truth." The MSG, "God delivers generous love, he makes good on his word."

Now one of God's attributes is that he is omnipresent, he is everywhere at the same time and he does provide for everyone but to the those who have a relationship with him it is unbelievable what he does. I can have a relationship with him no matter what I am going through. He unfailingly loves me and is faithful to me. And I can "Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 in the Amplified Bible says, "Rejoice always and delight in your faith; be unceasing and persistent in prayer; in every situation [no matter what the circumstance] be thankful and continually give thanks to God."

Yes "My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness." Verse 7 says, "My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises." Let's heighten our awareness of God's unfailing love and his faithfulness. Now if you don't have a relationship with God then just pray, "I give you my life" and then as quick as you can tell someone what you have done. 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 ...
