08/14               Isaiah 40:29

29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. 

CONCERNED

The Lord is concerned about you.  If you are weak and powerless He is especially concerned for you.  Do not fear.  Do not get depressed about your situation for the Lord cares for you.  Talk with Him.  Tell Him your needs and He will help you. 

08/13               Philippians 4:13

13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. 

GIVES

Strength comes from the Lord.  It is a gift for us to use in living our life.  We ask and He gives. 

08/12               Psalm 73:28

28 But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign LORD my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.

TELL

Tell everyone about Jesus.  How He saved you.  How he gives you the things you need day by day.  Remember the miracles in your life and share them.  Rejoice and be glad for the Lord is greatly involved in your life.  Jesus cares for you.  Tell everyone about Jesus. 

08/11               Psalm 73:26

26 My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.

ETERNAL

We are first and foremost spiritual creatures.  Our life is playing out before our eyes but also before the eyes of the Lord and He sees the eternality He has given us.  We do not see our spiritual side even though we have glimpses of it from time to time.  It is difficult for us to grasp eternity but we are indeed eternal beings and we belong to the Lord.  He will help us and will never leave us.  Jesus is Lord. 

08/10               Isaiah 40:31

31 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.

NOW

Jesus gives us the strength we need right now.  It is His gift to us to undergird our life and to help us move forward in the midst of the chaos of life.  He is never tardy.  He does not forget about us.  Jesus loves you and will help you to live a full and grace filled life. 

08/09               Isaiah 41:10

10 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

HERE

Our God is here.  Jesus is alive and well and He lives in you.  Do not fear anyone or anything for the Lord is your strength.  It pleases the Lord to give you His strength.  Praise our great and mighty Lord Jesus. 

08/08               Isaiah 42:10

10 Sing a new song to the LORD ! Sing his praises from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. 

SING

Praise the Lord with your singing.  Sing about your salvation and your life.  Sing about God’s miracles including you.  Sing about our wondrous loving Lord, for He is worthy of all praise. 

08/07               Psalm 14:1

1 Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good! 

SINNER

Each one of us and every one of us sin.  We are all without exception sinners.  Jesus is the only perfect one.  The Cross had the final say.  Jesus died on the Cross and paid the price for our sin.  By His stripes we are healed.  The Lord saves us and enables us to live a life of relationship with the Father.  Praise the Lord for His wondrous salvation. 

08/06               Psalm 9:10-11

10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. 11 Sing praises to the LORD who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds. 

TELL

We are called to tell the world about His deeds.  Too many people try to memorize great things the Lord has done when the greatest thing begins with their salvation and continues day by day with the things that the Lord does for them.  An attitude of gratitude will open our eyes to the amazing things the Lord does for us each day.  Praise the Lord.  Sing if His great deeds in your life. 

08/05               Psalm 9:1-2

1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. 2 I will be filled with joy because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. 

SING

I’m not a singer but in private I lift the Lord up high with singing.  I often make this a part of my daily quiet time.  Sing to the Lord from your heart and He will hear the joy and love that you feel for Him.  Sing to the Lord for He is worthy of all of our praise.
