But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

FIND

The Lord says at the end of my rope I will find more rope and at the end of my strength will His strength.  Thank you Lord for this wonderful promise of your presence and power coming to life in my life.  Help me face the trials of this day.  Strengthen me so that I will remember that you are present.  I need you Lord.

For the LORD protects those who are loyal to him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant. 24 So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD!

HOPE

O Lord, my hope is in you.  I know that I know that you are for me.  We have history together.  I need you Father.  Every moment of every day I need you.  I know that I cannot stand in the face of evil and far too often find myself at odds with a Christ like life-Help me Lord.  Help me.  I know you will answer.  Thank you Lord. 

7/19                 Ecclesiastes 9:4

4 There is hope only for the living. As they say, “It’s better to be a live dog than a dead lion!”  

HOPE

Our hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ.  He is the only way to the Father.  There is no other name under heaven by which we might be saved.  Jesus is the only way-He is our hope.  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will always be with you.

TODAY

Thank you Lord.  Today is my day of discouragement and I need you.  I will trust you and hope that your intervention will change me.  I know you will see me through but my real need is refocusing my heart and my mind.  Cleanse me Lord of all fear and oppression and I will change my frown to a smile.  I am confident in you Lord. 

7/17                 2 Samuel 22:29-32
O LORD, you are my lamp. The LORD lights up my darkness. 30 In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall. 31 “God’s way is perfect. All the LORD ’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. 32 For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock?

07/16               Psalm 3: 1-8

O LORD, I have so many enemies; so many are against me. 2 So many are saying, “God will never rescue him!” Interlude 3 But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. 4 I cried out to the LORD, and he answered me from his holy mountain. Interlude 5 I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the LORD was watching over me. 6 I am not afraid of ten thousand enemies who surround me on every side. 7 Arise, O LORD ! Rescue me, my God! Slap all my enemies in the face! Shatter the teeth of the wicked! 8 Victory comes from you, O LORD. May you bless your people.

RESCUED

O Lord you have already rescued me and each one of us that name the name of Jesus as Savior and Lord.  We love you Lord.  We trust you Lord.  Help us to count our blessings.  Help us Lord to develop an acute sense of gratitude for all you do for us.  We praise your Holy Name.  We tell everyone about Jesus.  Thank you for waking us up today.  Thank you Lord.

Who else is like you, a people saved by the LORD ? He is your protecting shield and your triumphant sword! Your enemies will cringe before you, and you will stomp on their backs!”

They will put their trust in the LORD.
