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.

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.

Work the Land!

Work the Land!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who work the land. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In rural America, young people can get involved in Future Farmers of America (FFA). Others take part in 4H Clubs (Head-Heart-Hands-Health). These programs prepare young people for future study and careers in agribusiness.

Farming practices are so different than they were in ancient times, but what King Solomon says in Proverbs 28:19 (ESV) about one who takes seriously working his land also applies today.

“Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,
but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.”

Don’t waste time. Avoid being distracted by get-rich-quick schemes.
For those who work the land, don’t neglect the day-to-day responsibility associated with getting the work done.

Work the land and have plenty of bread instead of ending up poor.

He Remembers His Covenant Forever?

He Remembers His Covenant Forever?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know you remember your covenant forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.

God made a promise to Abram, whose name was later changed to Abraham. The promise involved land.

Genesis 12:6-7 (ESV) says, “Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.”

Psalm 105:7-11 (ESV)

“He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
He remembers his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
saying, ’To you I will give the land of Canaan
as your portion for an inheritance.’”

From these verses we see God’s promise was fulfilled. Ever doubt God? Stop and reflect. Although it took generations for the offspring to inhabit the land, God was faithful. Trust God, for he is faithful!
