Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Do You Know Someone Who Lives in a Corner of a Housetop?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those with quarrelsome spouses. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Some people would give almost anything to have tranquility in their marriage. People suffering with constant conflict can find themselves the victims of abuse and worse.

Proverbs 21:9 (ESV) may sound humorous, but is rather profound.

“It is better to live in a corner of the housetop
than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.”

Or, if the situation happened to be with a quarrelsome husband.

If you are in a challenging relationship, seek wise counsel. Find a professional to confide in. If possible, find reconciliation.

Cry Out For God!

Cry Out For God!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who cry out to you for help. In Jesus’s name, amen.

People can cry out the God for a million different reasons. It can be in desperation, in defeat, at a moment of loss, or in a crisis. Whatever the circumstances, God is aware.

Psalm 119:145-152 (ESV) begins with a whole hearted cry to the Lord.

“With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord!
I will keep your statutes.
I call to you; save me,
that I may observe your testimonies.
I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I hope in your words.
My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promise.
Hear my voice according to your steadfast love;
O Lord, according to your justice give me life.
They draw near who persecute me with evil purpose;
they are far from your law.
But you are near, O Lord,
and all your commandments are true.
Long have I known from your testimonies
that you have founded them forever.”

Are you at a point where you are crying out to God? If not, consider approaching Holy God with reverence and honor. If yes, you are crying out, believe God led you to read this post.

Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Will you trust his holy and inspired word? It is okay to cry out like the psalmist. Live expecting God to intervene in yours and other’s lives.

Their Help and Their Shield!

Their Help and Their Shield!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you are their help and their shield. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Even with the words “In God We Trust” on American money, it is hard to determine what exactly that means for people in the United States. Where do you stand?

The people of Ancient Israel might not have put the phrase on their coins, but there were times God’s people trusted in him. Yet, at other times, God’s people did not trust him and they turned to worship false gods.

Psalm 115:9-11 (ESV) is about trusting in the Lord.

“O Israel, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.
You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!
He is their help and their shield.”

Ever feel like it may be time to trust God more? Turn to him now, and ask for his guidance. Trust him and his holy and inspired word.

From Where Does My help Come?

From Where Does My help Come?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who say, “My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.” In Jesus’ name, amen.

Years ago, I visited the Ronald Regan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. During the visit, I saw President Regan’s Bible open to Psalm 121.

Psalm 121:1-3 (ESV) asks and answers the question, “From where does my help come?”

“I lift up my eyes to the hills.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.”

Psalm 121 must have been a comfort to President and Mrs. Regan. Let it comfort you too.
