10/15 Psalm 16:4
Those who chase after other gods will be filled with sorrow. I will not take part in their sacrifices or even speak the names of their gods.
FALSE
Any god but the Lord is a false god. The Lord God is the only God and He will not tolerate mankind’s foolishness. Trust in the Lord. Stay away from other gods. Do not bow down to them, do not submit to them, instead let Jesus have control of your life.

10/14 Psalm 16:1-3
A psalm of David. Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge. I said to the LORD, “You are my Master! All the good things I have are from you.” The godly people in the land are my true heroes! I take pleasure in them!
SAFE
The Lord is actively concerned with our life. HE knows our past, present and future. Submit yourself to the Lord and He will take care of you. Try Him. Let the Lord have control of your life and He will watch over you.
10/13 Psalm 15:2-5
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts. Those who refuse to slander others or harm their neighbors or speak evil of their friends. Those who despise persistent sinners, and honor the faithful followers of the LORD and keep their promises even when it hurts. Those who do not charge interest on the money they lend, and who refuse to accept bribes to testify against the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever.
SIN
Sins are symptoms of sin. Sin is refusing to acknowledge God-doing life on our own. Sins are the actions that sinners take. It is impossible for us to get free of sin. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death. When we ask Christ into our heart He cleanses us from all sin, freeing us from bondage to sin. Christ frees us from sin but when we do sin as soon as we recognize our sin we should confess it and stop it. Jesus loves us and will walk with us minute by minute each day. When we are in His presence it is easy to recognize our sins and to quickly change.
10/12 Psalm 15:1
A psalm of David. Who may worship in your sanctuary, LORD? Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
WHO
Christ is our righteousness. He is the reason we can some into the presence of the Lord. Who can worship in the Lord’s sanctuary: all who are saved can. Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
10/11 Psalm 14:6-7
The wicked frustrate the plans of the oppressed, but the LORD will protect his people. Oh, that salvation would come from Mount Zion to rescue Israel! For when the LORD restores his people, Jacob will shout with joy, and Israel will rejoice.
PROTECT
The Lord will protect you. You can believe this. You can talk with the Lord about this for He loves you deeply. Live your life with a Godward attitude seeking to constantly be in His presence. Listen to Jesus. Seek His guidance and comfort for He cares for you.
10/10 Psalm 14:4-5
Will those who do evil never learn? They eat up my people like bread; they wouldn’t think of praying to the LORD. Terror will grip them, for God is with those who obey him.
EVIL
Evil is an active force in the world. It is never satisfied to sit by and watch things instead it is aggressively seeking to destroy good. Be careful. You can have confidence that your Father knows what evil is doing and He loves you. Be encouraged and thank the Lord for His concern for you.
10/9 Psalm 14:2-3
The LORD looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if there is even one with real understanding, one who seeks for God. But no, all have turned away from God; all have become corrupt. No one does good, not even one!
GOOD
Do you want to do good? Surrender you life to Jesus Christ. God is good. When we come to Christ we become part of the family of God and take on the righteousness of Christ. God is our father and we are His children therefore we have inherited good as a part of our character.
10/8 Psalm 14:1
For the choir director: A psalm of David. Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; no one does good!
SIN
No one does good. All of us depend on the goodness of God for our life. He provides life for us in Jesus Christ. Christ died for our sin and gives us righteousness. He is alive. We worship a risen Savior. Jesus is Lord and He provides life and light for us. Without Jesus we do not have life. Thank God for Jesus Christ.
10/7 Psalm 13:5
But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the LORD because he has been so good to me.
LOVE
God loves you. He loves you with full knowledge of who you are and what you have done and are doing. Jesus knows you better than you know yourself. Rejoice for the Lord is good to you. Remember the times He cared for you. Be thankful and feel His presence.
10/6 Psalm 13:3-4
Turn and answer me, O LORD my God! Restore the light to my eyes, or I will die. Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!” Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.
DISCOURAGEMENT
Discouragement is a real enemy. Do not underestimate its ability to overwhelm you. Life is sometimes confusing and difficult but the Lord will not desert you. Hang on and let the Lord redeem your situation. Jesus is Lord.
