01/28          Psalm 3:5-8 

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. Interlude

BLESS

We ask the Lord to bless us and He has.  We are blessed in Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind.  His Word to us is whosoever will may come.  If you don’t know Jesus simply ask and He will come to You.  Seek the Lord while He may be found.  Jesus is Lord.  

01/27          Psalm 3:1-4

1 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 

SHEILD

The Lord takes care of His children-He is a shield around them as they face the chaos and pain of daily life.  Our Lord is a saving Lord and He loves His children.  

01/26          Psalm 2:10-12 

Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth!  11 Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities— for his anger flares up in an instant. But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

REALITY

There is a day of reckoning coming.  The will settle accounts with the wicked.  Make sure that you are among the people of God when that day comes.  Seek Jesus and know Him.  

01/25          Psalm 2:8-9 

Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession. 9 You will break them with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.’” 

HE
One day He, Jesus, is coming back.  He is Lord and will reign forever.  Praise the Lord for Jesus Christ and His amazing sacrifice for mankind.  Jesus loves you, this I know, for the Bible tells me so. 

01/24          Psalm 2:5-7 

Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury. 6 For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.”  7 The king proclaims the LORD ’s decree: “The LORD said to me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your Father. 

CHOICE

We can choose Jesus, by faith, accept His free gift of salvation and become part of God’s family.  If we don’t choose Him we are not part of His family.  The result is enmity with God.  Do you really want to be at war with God?  Choose Him.  

01/23          Psalm 2:4 

But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. 

FREEDOM

The Lord is the only true God.  When He sees us run after evil and surrender our life to the pursuit of self, He knows that our end is destruction.  He is truth and power unto eternity.  The victory has been won in Jesus.  Follow Jesus.  He is Lord.  

01/22          Psalm 2:1-3 

Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans?  2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. 3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.” 

WICKED

The wicked stand against God.  When we bend the knee to God we discover freedom in Jesus Christ, He breaks the chains of bondage to sin.  Self-leadership when we are against God results in our finite disappointment.  When we surrender our-self in bondage to Jesus we have infinite hope.  Choose Jesus for He is the way, the truth and the life.  Jesus is Lord.  

01/21          Psalm 1:6 

For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

PATH

We choose the path we will walk in life.  Listen to Jesus and follow Him.  There is no other way to the Father but in Jesus Christ.  

01/20          Psalm 1:4-5 

But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.  5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly. 

ALONE
The wicked will traverse the days of their lives alone without God and without any help in the hour of difficulty.  Death will be ominous and there journey will end in perdition.  Seek the Lord when He might be found.  

01/19          Psalm 1:3 

They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

LIFE

Our life directed by the Lord is fruitful, peaceful and joy filled.  Surrender your heart to Jesus and He will direct your life.  There will be bumps and chaos but the Lord will be there with you to see you through.  Blessed be the name of the Lord.
