Rejoice

June 8 – Rejoice – Psalm 64:10 

     In this verse the psalmist encourages you to do three things.  First, as a righteous person you are to rejoice in the Lord.  The Lord has made you righteous.  You are right with Him and with people.  That was Jesus’ testimony.  Next, you are to take refuge in the Lord.  The Lord is your place of rest, security, hope and protection.  He will keep you and make you rise above anything that you face today.

     Thirdly, you are to join with all the upright in praising the Lord.  Praising the Lord is thanking Him for what He has done.  It releases an anointing that breaks any bondage.  Moses was used by the Lord to free the people of Israel.   Every plaque was designed to break a bondage in Egypt.  Today let the Lord break your bonds and make you free to be righteous, take refuge and praise Him.

At Home

It is the weekend and here is your thought to ponder.  A person may be a great success in the work world but a dismal failure at home.  Remember what you do at home is more important.  So today be the blessing here first than work on your vocation or career.

Proverb of Steel

Never measure your success in what you have but in what you give away.  *

Verse Todaty

Matthew 21:22 New International Version (NIV)

22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

The Night Watches

June 7 – The Night Watches – Psalm 63:6-7

     This Psalm was written when David was in the desert of Judah.  He was seeking the Lord and it was middle of the night.  On His bed he was thinking of the Lord.  He was not able to sleep and he was thinking about his life and the challenges he was facing.  Often in the middle of the night when we are thinking about things God speaks the plainest.  One quote went like this, “When you are not able to sleep let God speak.  He will often make his will plain when you have nothing to distract you.”  In our modern day of devices and phones it is easy to lose ourselves in the nonsense of this world.  God will not be rushed or distracted.  You have to seek Him before He will be found.  Turn off your phone and pray.  It is when you do you will find God to be your help and your protection.  As David said, under His wings you will be safe and secure.

Thursday Thought

It is Thursday and here is your thought for today.  Never measure your success in what you have but in what you give away.  Give love, acceptance and forgiveness.  Give your time, talents and resources.  Gove yourself and you will touch others for the Lord.

Proverb of Steel

Man measures success in what they see.  God measures success in what people do not see
