Ps. 56

With President Trump having just given the order to eliminate Irsn’s nuclear capabilities, the US has been threatened by their leader with retaliation. Should we fear? NO. We trust in God to protect us from all alarm.

Ps. 49

With the tension in the Middle East (Israel & Iran), it’s easy to begin fretting about the safety of our nation. It’s surely good to be motivated to pray, but as Christians, we have nothing to worry about. God is our constant protector. Just one of His warring angels can eliminate 180,000 enemy soldiers in one night.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that our sons and grandsons don’t have to go to war. (Pray for mine if you don’t have any; Caleb, Luke. and Drew)

Ps. 48

We haven’t scratched the surface on understanding how great God is. But, we somewhat understand how capable we are at praising Him. The Psalmist decleared, “Praise Him GREATLY!”

This was my quest as a young minister of music and worship leader. I knew we were to give God our BEST.

Sincerity is the most important thing, and giving our best ranks way up there.

Ps. 104

God provides the food for animals. They either eat grass or one another. Nevertheless, their provision is His doing.

Ps. 45

Get ready to LIVE FOREVER!

Now that’s a strange thought. We presently deal with the frailties of our human flesh. No wonder Paul said this corruptible body can’t possibly inherit an eternal existence. We must put on immortality in a body that has been changed. Personally, I heartily welcome that change.

Ps. 43

Hope is the antidote for depression and discouragement. Depressed people have no hope and generally nothing to live for.

Hope is far better than medicine or drugs. People can find their hope in Christ Jesus. He is referred to as the “Blessed Hope.”

“My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. “

Ps. 41

I have spent many days on a sickbed … cancer, joint replacements, gall bladder removed, and on and on. Yet, I’m still here and living a pretty good life. The only explanation is that the Lord has “sustained” me.

If perfect health is your measure of fulfillment in life, you are a rare breed. With the Lord’s help, we can live a rewarding life and look forward to the glorified body we will have in heaven.

Keep trusting and praying!

Ps. 38

My mentor used to say, “God may be slow, but He’s NEVER LATE.”

It’s true … all the while managing the entire universe, He still has time to come when we call. Realizing how slow he thought God was, the Psalmist had the nerve to request that God would hurry things up.

It’s a superfluous request, because God sees the entire timeline and will swoop in at precisely the right moment to save your bacon.

We can trust Him, for “Father knows best.”

Ps. 37

This Psalm, from David’s old age, is fabulous. It offers insights on how to live a Godly life with benefits galore.

One of David’s virtues was the ability to trust and wait to see God’s impact on his life’s challenges. Whenever he says “wait,” it’s an opportunity to gather and accumulate strength and provision from the Lord.

We shouldn’t rush into self-made solutions … we should wait on the Lord to answer and bring eternal solutions.

“It’s Friday, but SUNDAY’S COMIN.'”

Ps. 36

God is OUR DEFENDER.

If He takes care of your defense, then you can focus on offense.

Go after your enemy … the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. In prayer, constantly resist and rebuke these things for yourself and those you love.
