The Steadfast is God’s Love!

The Steadfast is God’s Love!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say your steadfast love endures forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.

A synonyms for the word “forever’ are endless and always. Imagine that.

In Psalm 118:1-4 (ESV) we learn God’s unwavering and persistent love does not just linger for a time and disappear. Rather, it is endless and always. It endures forever.

“Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!

Let Israel say,
‘His unwavering love endures forever.’
Let the house of Aaron say,
‘His steadfast love endures forever.’
Let those who fear the Lord say,
‘His steadfast love endures forever.’”

Are you willing to tell others God’s steadfast love endures forever?

Pray and start sharing the news that his steadfast love endures for today and always.

Me? A Servant!

Me? A Servant!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who declare, “I am your servant.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

Jesus, when he was at the Last Supper, washed the disciples’ feet. He took on the role of a servant.

Psalm 116:16-19 (ESV) offers an example of a person who is so grateful to God for all he has done to loose his bonds, he becomes subservient.

“O Lord, I am your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your maidservant.
You have loosed my bonds.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
in the courts of the house of the Lord,
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!”

Do you serve others? Are you willing to become subservient to God? Think of your daily activity as service, doing everything as unto God.

Delivered My Soul From Death!

Delivered My Soul From Death!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say, “You have delivered my soul from death.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

How would you like to be able to defeat death?

In Psalm 116:6-9 (ESV) the psalmist not only says, “He (the Lord) saved me,” he goes on to talk about his soul being delivered from death. This is good news.

“The Lord preserves the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
Return, O my soul, to your rest;
for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling;
I will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.”

John 3:16 (ESV) is a verse about being saved from death.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

What have you done to deserve eternal life? Accept Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. Be saved.

Answered Prayer!

Answered Prayer!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom, for you answer our prayers. In Jesus’ name, amen.

One of the main issues people face today is communication. The research shows that many people are not very good listeners. A large percentage of people listen to their boss better than they do to their spouse. People love a good listener.

Psalm 116:1-5 (ESV) is about communication with God, and how he hearing our pleas for mercy.

“I love the Lord, because he has heard
my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, I pray, deliver my soul!”

Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;
our God is merciful.”

How are your communication skills? Would your loved ones appreciate it if you listened more? Then start today.

Remember, the Lord hears pleas for mercy and delivers our soul. Thank God, the Lord hears us.

Bless Them!

Bless Them!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know God will bless them. In Jesus’ name, amen.

When God gives his blessing, it means he gives his divine favor. When we say we “Bless the Lord,” it means to glorify him.

Psalm 115:12-18 (ESV) refers to the how God blesses his people, and how his people bless him.

“The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron;
he will bless those who fear the Lord,
both the small and the great.

May the Lord give you increase,
you and your children!
May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!

The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
The dead do not praise the Lord,
nor do any who go down into silence.
But we will bless the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the Lord!”

As the psalm says, “Praise the Lord!” He has blessed and deserves to be blessed. Stop. Give thanks. Praise! Worship!
