10/30          Psalm 72:6-14

May the king’s rule be refreshing like spring rain on freshly cut grass, like the showers that water the earth. 7 May all the godly flourish during his reign. May there be abundant prosperity until the moon is no more. 8 May he reign from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth. 9 Desert nomads will bow before him; his enemies will fall before him in the dust. 10 The western kings of Tarshish and other distant lands will bring him tribute. The eastern kings of Sheba and Seba will bring him gifts. 11 All kings will bow before him, and all nations will serve him. 12 He will rescue the poor when they cry to him; he will help the oppressed, who have no one to defend them. 13 He feels pity for the weak and the needy, and he will rescue them. 14 He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious to him.

RESPONSIBLE

The Lord God is a good God.  He is a responsible God who has our best interests in His mind.  He will see to our care.  He will rescue us.  He values our life and has willingly redeemed us from death and Hades.  He is our Father and loves us beyond our ability to comprehend that love.  He is Lord. 

10/29          Psalm 72:3

May the mountains yield prosperity for all, and may the hills be fruitful. 4 Help him to defend the poor, to rescue the children of the needy, and to crush their oppressors. 5 May they fear you as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains in the sky. Yes, forever!

JUSTICE

Jesus is the only way to the Father.  Ask Jesus to save you and give you life.  Stand under His just hand and follow His righteous leadership.  The Lord is good and worthy of our praise and adoration.  He is a righteous Judge and will mete out righteous judgments of each one of us.  Love the Lord and serve Him. 

10/28          Psalm 72:1-2

1 Give your love of justice to the king, O God, and righteousness to the king’s son. 2 Help him judge your people in the right way; let the poor always be treated fairly.

PRAYER

Pray for one another.  Pray for the Lord’s work.  Pray for the poor.  As you pray remember to ask the Lord to guide you in what you do each day that you might not sin against Him.  Sin is pervasive and our hearts will deceive us.  Pray that you will follow His righteous path today and everyday.  Jesus is Lord. 

10/27          Psalm 70:5

But as for me, I am poor and needy; please hurry to my aid, O God. You are my helper and my savior; O , do not delay.

HELP
Lord help us.  We need you every moment of every day.  Without you we cannot survive.  Thank you Lord for being here with us.  Thank you for answered prayer and we know you hear us and have our best good in mind.

10/26          Psalm 70:4

But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. May those who love your salvation repeatedly shout, “God is great!”

GREAT

God is great.  With every fiber of my being I declare this moment God is great.  He cares for me.  He created me.  He loves me.  He is Lord.  Glory to God in the highest.  God is great. 

10/25          Psalm 70:2-3

May those who try to kill me be humiliated and put to shame. May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace. 3 Let them be horrified by their shame, for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”

BELONG

We belong to the Lord.  No one can take us away from Him.  Our name is etched in the palms of His hands, He holds us with an unbreakable grip.  We belong to the Lord. 

10/24          Psalm 70:1

1 Please, God, rescue me! Come quickly, , and help me.

PRAY

We can pray and do so knowing that the Lord Jesus hears us.  I don’t know the details of what happen when I cry out to Him I just know that He listens to me and hears me and always delivers me.  Thank you Lord Jesus for your answers for my life.  You always listen to me. 

10/23          2 Peter 3:17-18

You already know these things, dear friends. So be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing. 18 Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.

THINK

Think about what Jesus did for you and the gift His death, burial and resurrection provide for you-forgiveness and relationship-salvation.  Knowing this live your life with an awareness of His glory, His honor and the grace He showers afresh and anew on you each morning.  Jesus is Lord. 

10/22          2 Peter 3:15-16

And remember, our Lord’s patience gives people time to be saved. This is what our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you with the wisdom God gave him— 16 speaking of these things in all of his letters. Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters to mean something quite different, just as they do with other parts of Scripture. And this will result in their destruction.

TIME

We are time creatures.  We live in a world ruled by time.  Jesus is not limited by time.  Even so everything Jesus does is right on time.  Be calm.  Rejoice.  Jesus loves you. 

10/21          2 Peter 3:14

And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight.

FOCUS

My life is in His hands.  My soul is encouraged by His presence.  He gives me His peace, His joy and therefore I can live my life longing for His return and still live peacefully.  I am His and belong to Jesus.
