Thursday... Maybe we need to pray this, today.


Psalm 90:14 (NIRV), "Satisfy us with your faithful love every morning. Then we can sing for joy and be glad all our days."

Thursday... Maybe we need to pray this, today.

And when we realize it to be true and answered, it will make such a difference. Yes it will!

Moses writes in Psalm 90:14 (NIRV), "Satisfy us with your faithful love every morning. Then we can sing for joy and be glad all our days." Yes, yes!


I'm not sure when he wrote this Psalm but think of all his days in the wilderness with all those people who were suppose to be headed to the Promised Land from Egypt but who kept getting off track. Those were very tough days even for this leader.

So where are you? What kind of world are you waking up to?

Verses 13-16 says, "LORD, please stop punishing us! How long will you keep it up? Be kind to us. Satisfy us with your faithful love every morning. Then we can sing for joy and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have made us suffer. Give us joy for as many years as we've had trouble. Show us your mighty acts. Let our children see your glorious power."

I love the Psalms. They are so honest.

And then verse 17, "May the Lord our God always be pleased with us. Lord, make what we do succeed. Please, make what we do succeed."

Yes, why not go back through verses 13-17 and apply what Moses prayed to your life and then pray out to God. What is your desire? What do you need? Where are you?

The Message Paraphrase says verse 16 this way, "Let your servants see what you're best at - the ways you rule and bless your children." And back to verse 14 in the Amplified Bible, "O satisfy us with Your lovingkindness in the morning [now, before we grow older], that we may rejoice and be glad all our days."

Yes, maybe we do need to pray this today. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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...
