10/13 Psalm 125:3
The wicked will not rule the godly, for then the godly might be forced to do wrong.
TIME
We are time-limited creatures. It seems as though things will never come to pass but trust the Lord they will come to pass. The Lord is not weak. The Lord is not forgetful. Justice will prevail. His will will be done.

10/12 Psalm 125:2
Just as the mountains surround and protect Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds and protects his people, both now and forever.
PROTECTS
The Lord protects you. You are His and He is protecting you now and forever. Remember when things get tough and the going gets rough that the Lord will protect you.
10/11 Psalm 125:1
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the LORD are as secure as Mount Zion; they will not be defeated but will endure forever.
TRUST
Trust the Lord. He is trustworthy. He is concerned about you. Jesus loves you and He is our security.
10/10 Psalm 124:6-8
Blessed be the LORD, who did not let their teeth tear us apart! 7 We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap. The trap is broken, and we are free! 8 Our help is from the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth.
HELP
The Lord is our help as we face each day. Life has a way of turning us upside down in the blink of an eye and yet the Lord is our help. He will encourage us, protect us and make things right. The Lord is our help!
10/09 Psalm 124:1-5
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem: A psalm of David. If the LORD had not been on our side — let Israel now say — 2 if the LORD had not been on our side when people rose up against us, 3 they would have swallowed us alive because of their burning anger against us. 4 The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us. 5 Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.
OUR SIDE
The Lord is on our side. He is deeply interested in our life. He knows our pain and sorrow and He experiences with us the heartache we experience. He is a God who is here and He is on our side. Praise the Lord.
10/08 Psalm 123:3-4
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy, for we have had our fill of contempt. 4 We have had our fill of the scoffing of the proud and the contempt of the arrogant.
MERCY
We need mercy. Jesus offers us mercy. Spend time with Jesus. Get to know Him and He will not forsake you. Jesus is Lord.
10/07 Psalm 123:1-2
A song for the ascent to Jerusalem. I lift my eyes to you, O God, enthroned in heaven. 2 We look to the LORD our God for his mercy, just as servants keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.
FOCUS
Focus on Jesus. You don’t have to explain Him nor do you have to understand everything about Him. Jesus loves you and wants to spend time with you.
10/06 John 6:67-71
Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you going to leave, too?” 68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You alone have the words that give eternal life. 69 We believe them, and we know you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil.” 71 He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would betray him.
KNOWS
Jesus knows what is going on in your life. He knows what you need. He is willing to give you what you need. Ask Him and He will provide for you. Jesus is Lord and we are members of His family. He will not forsake you.
10/05 John 6:64-66
But some of you don’t believe me.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who didn’t believe, and he knew who would betray him.) 65 Then he said, “That is what I meant when I said that people can’t come to me unless the Father brings them to me.” 66 At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him.
BELIEVE
You believe in Jesus and He will not forsake you. You know Him and have asked him into your heart. Believe in Jesus. Jesus loves you.
10/04 John 6:62-63
Then what will you think if you see me, the Son of Man, return to heaven again? 63 It is the Spirit who gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
SPIRIT
The Spirit of God-the Holy Spirit- is alive and He is in us to give us the spiritual dimension we need to connect with the Lord. The Holy Spirit will give us the life giving presence that we need. He is alive and He is alive in us. Jesus is Lord.
