05/24          Romans 2:1 

You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. 2 And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. 

NO

Do not condemn others for as sure as you do the Lord will remind you of that which condemns you.  Trust in the Lord – that He will take care of wrong doers.  Trust in the Lord that His love and mercy will never depart from us. 

05/23          Psalm 55:23 

But you, O God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction. Murderers and liars will die young, but I am trusting you to save me.

TRUSTING

I am trusting the Lord to make every one of HIS 7,000+ promises in the Bible to come true in my life.  I am trusting the Lord for today.  I am trusting the Lord for the future.  When time is no more and I pass from this world to the presence of the Lord I am trusting the Lord. 

05/22          Psalm 55:22 

Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. 

PROMISE

Step 1-Give your burdens to the Lord-list them, name them anyway you can that will let you know that this burden is given to the Lord

Step 2-Let the Lord take this burden from you

Step 3-Get happy-every day is a good day

Step 4-Trust the Lord that He will do what He says

Step 5-If the burden reappears go to Step 1

05/21          Psalm 55:20-21 

As for my companion, he betrayed his friends; he broke his promises.  21 His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!

TRUST

Trust in the Lord and He will do it-He will deliver you.  Trust in the Lord and you will know the truth.  Trust in the Lord because He knows you and loves you.  Jesus is Lord. 

05/20          Psalm 55:19

God, who has ruled forever, will hear me and humble them. Interlude For my enemies refuse to change their ways; they do not fear God.

FEAR

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  A fool says in his heart there is no Lord.  We know the Lord and have eternal confidence in our relationship with Him.  Fear God and do not fear man. 

05/19          Psalm 55:17-18 

Morning, noon, and night I cry out in my distress, and the LORD hears my voice.  18 He ransoms me and keeps me safe from the battle waged against me, though many still oppose me. 

JESUS

Jesus is my Savior.  He saves me from eternal separation into an eternal relationship with Him.  He brings me into God’s family and keeps me there forever. 

05/18          Psalm 55:15-16 

Let death stalk my enemies; let the grave swallow them alive, for evil makes its home within them.  16 But I will call on God, and the LORD will rescue me. 

RESCUE

The Lord will rescue me.  He says He will never leave me.  He will not let go of me.  The Lord God Almighty will rescue me.  He is my protector, my strength, my deliverer.  Jesus is Lord. 

05/17          Psalm 55:11-14 

Everything is falling apart; threats and cheating are rampant in the streets. 12 It is not an enemy who taunts me— I could bear that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me— I could have hidden from them.  13 Instead, it is you—my equal, my companion and close friend. 14 What good fellowship we once enjoyed as we walked together to the house of God. 

RELIGION

Religion counts the things we do for the Lord.  Religion finds sanctuary in a place, always place over people.  Jesus died for people.  People count with the Lord.  He will deliver you. 

05/16          Psalm 55:8-10 

How quickly I would escape— far from this wild storm of hatred.  9 Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans, for I see violence and conflict in the city. 

10 Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders, but the real danger is wickedness within the city. 

EVIL

Evil in me is my greatest fear Lord.  I carry it with me.  It blossoms in my heart and steers me away from obedience.  Cleanse me from unrighteousness and I will stand with you against the evil in my life.  Walk me through this veil of tears Father for I am in desperate need. 

05/15          Psalm 55:6-7 

Oh, that I had wings like a dove; then I would fly away and rest!  7 I would fly far away to the quiet of the wilderness. Interlude 

GREENER

The grass always looks greener over there.  The tragedy of flying away from this present fear Lord is that I will carry that fear with me.  Only you Lord can quiet by heart.  Only you Lord can solve the troubles I fear.
