Vow and pay unto the Lord your God. Psalm 76 verse 11
If you make a promise to God, please fulfill that promise. We need to remember He is God the almighty. Spoke words to him are not taken lightly.
We trust him to fulfill his promises to us. Why do we not do the same?
Without faith, it is impossible to please God.
Adapted from Hebrews 11 verse 6.
I was envious of the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
Psalm 73 verses 3 and 17.
Don’t look at what others have. Concentrate on your own life.
The grass is never greener on the other side it just looks that way.
Live a life pleasing to the Lord, and everything will fall into place.
The wicked and the foolish will get their own just rewards.
For thou art my hope, O Lord God; thou art my trust from my youth. Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
Psalm 71 verses 5 and 9.
When I am most vulnerable, the Lord will sustain me.
I will remember His love and his kindness from the time of my youth.
All my life, he will be good to me.
He is my hope, and in Him, do I put my trust.
My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Psalm 69 verse 3
Sometimes the problem is so big I can not see beyond it, so focused am I on the situation I fail to remember His promises.
There is nothing too big or too small to waken the ear of my God.
The answer may not come when I am looking for it or even where I anticipate it’s coming, but rest assured it will come on time.
He will not tarry in his deliverance because he will not make those who wait on him be ashamed.
This is his promise to me.
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
Psalm 66 verse 18
Who do we think we are praying to the Lord without sincerity?
We are fake in compassion and evil lurks in the corners of our hearts. We have offenses we have not confessed whereby we wish to give evil for evil.
Who are we to come before a holy God with dirty hands trying to justify our actions?
We are nothing. We must learn to bring our sins or problems our heavy hearts to him. Open our minds and confess our wrongdoings, and leave them at his feet. Let the Lord fight for us. Let him take vengeance for us. He understands and knows what is best.
Forgiveness is not easy, but by taking that first step towards the Lord is a leap in the right direction.
Behold, God is mine helper…
Psalm 54 verse 4
We have God. We do not need anyone else.
He is the creator. He called into existence things that never existed. He parted the Red Sea so his people could walk to the other side on dry ground. He gave courage to a man who stuttered so he could deliver his people out of slavery. He calmed the seas. He shut the mouths of lions. He made the blind to see. He opened the wombs of women well past the age of conception. He raised the dead. He healed the sick and so much more.
God can do anything and much more.
With him by our side, we lack nothing.
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
Psalm 52 verse 8
If it were not for the kindness of God, life would be most miserable.
His compassions are renewed daily.
Great is faithfulness in times of trouble.
Sometimes, you feel a distance. Maybe because you ate not right with the Lord at the moment. Sometimes things around you are overwhelming.
Don’t lose heart.
Quiet your spirit and look to the Lord.
He will never cast you away.
If you do not hear his voice or know his instruction, fear not he has not forgotten you.
Precious are you in his sight.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Psalm 51 verse 12
Don’t be afraid of those who have power, those who make decisions, those who rule over you, and control your advancement. These people are here on earth for a little while. Like the cycle of life, everything comes to an end.
Man and his vain brief authority.
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house increased; for when he dies, he shall carry nothing aqay: his glory shall not descend after him. Man, that is in honor and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.
Psalm 49 verses 16, 17,20.
