Monday... We think we know, really know.


Psalm 70:1 (AMP), "O God, come quickly to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me!"

Monday... We think we know, really know.

Don't we?

I mean, this situation that we are facing today needs attention right now. Not next week but right now. So we go to God. Yes that's a great place to go.

Now the Bible is so honest. Here in Psalm 70:1 (AMP) David writes, "O God, come quickly to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me!"


We think we know, don't we? So we come to God in desperation, "O God, come quickly to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me!"

Yes, God understands us. He knows what situation we are in and he knows that we probably are the cause for it but he also sees it from a different perspective. It may be a tool to cause us to turn to God. It can be a way to get our attention.

It is true that God does have the ability to take care of any situation that we are facing right now but he also knows how it can be used to get us on track.

Now this is also important for us to see. 2 Peter 3:8 says, "Nevertheless, do not let this one fact, escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day."

He continues in verse 9, "The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."

The Message says, "He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn't want anyone lost. He's giving everyone space and time to change."

Psalm 70:4 (NIV) says, "But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, 'The LORD is great!'" Yes he is!

Now the last verse (NLT) of this Psalm does say, "But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid. O God. You are my helper and my savior. O Lord, do not delay."

Yes he knows us and he has the ability to take care of whatever is happening right now but he also knows way more than we know. So, let's go to him and trust him. He knows what is best and he knows what he is doing. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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 ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
