God’s Promises!

God’s Promises!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know the generation of the upright will be blessed. In Jesus’ name, amen.

At the time it was written, Psalm 112:3-8 (ESV) tells us that he who followed God’s commandments was promised the following:

“His offspring will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered forever.”

What a list of promises. It is well for a man who conducts his affairs with justice. Follow God. Are their things in your life that need to change? Ask God’s guidance for what he recommends for next steps. Step out in faith.

The Riches of His Grace!

The Riches of His Grace!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who are redeemed, forgiven, and recognize the riches of God’s grace. In Jesus’ name, amen.

When Christ died on the cross, we were set free. We have been redeemed from having to repay our own sin debt. All of our sins are forgiven.

Ephesians 1:7-9 (ESV) adds God’s grace to the equation:

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ.”

According to the ESV note: “The mystery of God’s will, now revealed in Christ is to ‘unite all things in him.’” God’s grace has been lavished upon us. Praise him!

Slow to Anger?

Slow to Anger?

Dear Lord, I pray for those know the Lord is slow to anger, merciful, and gracious. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Ever give thought to how slow God is to anger? God could react swiftly to sinful behavior without giving a chance for sinners to repent and turn away from their sin.

Psalm 103:6-10 (ESV) portrays God’s justice, mercy, and grace. The verses also show him as slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

“The Lord works righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.”

Are you harboring some secret sin? Reading these verses, are you inclined to change some aspect of your life? Then take action. Do not delay.

Cry Out To God All Day?

Cry Out To God All Day?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who cry to you all day. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Although David wants God to hear his plea, in Psalm 86:1-6 (ESV) he expresses how great his need is for God.

“Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am godly;
save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
Gladden the soul of your servant,
for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
listen to my plea for grace.”

Are you in the habit of crying out to God all day? If not, stop and take more than a few minutes and cry out to God. Tell him what is on your mind. Make your plea. Ask God to come along side and help you.
