Friday... Such a great way to strengthen our faith.


Psalm 150:2 (AMP), "Praise Him in His mighty acts; Praise Him according to [the abundance of] His greatness."

Friday... Such a great way to strengthen our faith.

We need to sometimes be reminded of who is on our side, who is always with us, who has more knowledge and power than anyone else. Praising and thanking God is a great way to do that and they really do strengthen our faith. They are great ways to be reminded of who He is and remember what He has done in our lives.


This was my fifth month in reading a Psalm a day and it ended with Psalm 150. Thirteen times in this Psalm it says the word praise and verse 2 (AMP) says, "Praise Him in His mighty acts; Praise Him according to [the abundance of] His greatness."

Yes, It tells us to praise God for His mighty acts and the abundance of His greatness. This great reminder will help strengthen our faith in handling what is going on now and in our future.

Proverbs 30:1b-3 (NLT) may say what you are feeling today. It says, "I am weary, O God. I am too stupid to be human, and I lack common sense. I have not mastered human wisdom, nor do I know the Holy One." It is so easy to put ourselves down but it is really better to take our focus off of us and what is happening around us by praising God.

But the writer doesn't stop here. Verse 4 in The Message says what a lot of people say, "I see no evidence of a holy God. Has anyone ever seen Anyone climb into Heaven and take charge? grab the winds and control them? gather the rains in his bucket? stake out the earth? Just tell me his name, tell me the name of his sons."

The world does all it can to knock down our faith, doesn't it?

And then verse 5 says, "The believer replied, 'Every promise of God proves true; he protects everyone who runs to him for help.'" Yes, being reminded as a believer by praise and thanksgiving who God is and what He has does in our life strengthens our faith. It really does.

Remember Psalm 150:2 (AMP), "Praise Him in His mighty acts; Praise Him according to [the abundance of] His greatness." The NIV says, "Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness." The NIRV says, "Praise him for his powerful acts. Praise him because he is greater than anything else."

What a difference in our world if everyone would do what verse 6 (NLT) says, "Let everything that breathes sing praises to the LORD! Praise the LORD!" So let's be reminded of who He is and what He has done and see how our faith is strengthened and what a difference it makes in our life. 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 ...
