Verse of the day

As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. Psalms 55:16

Many problems, one same solution.

Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you. Peter 5:7


A thousand years before the verse above was writing, the preceding verse was inscribed.


Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Psalms 55:22


Whatever your problems are, His promises are still the same, and He can handle it for you and He cares greatly about you.


Lord this is my problems. (State the problems) But I give it all to you that I may receive your peace and wisdom. In Jesus name, the name above all names, amen.

Ambushed by Envy: When Success Breeds Adversaries, Trust in God's Salvation


For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. Psalms 59:3

 

In today's terminology, that is to say:

 

See, they are waiting to ambush me; powerful people are plotting against me, not because of any wrongdoing or sin on my part, O Lord.

Daytime, Nighttime, and Timeless Prayer: Embracing God’s Lovingkindness: A reflection of Psalms 42:8

Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

Psalms 42:8


The three partitions of which we have to share in and continue therein. Observe: The daytime, the nighttime are both set in a time frame, night and day, but prayer is without a fixed time.


As you read this, being awake this morning, it is because the Lord has commanded His lovingkindness toward you, in the daytime. If you are about to fall into the slumber of sleep. Likewise, “the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime that is to come.”  

And when all is quiet, but the depth of your thoughts flooding your mind at night, for the Lord’s loving kindness during the day, may your lips be a portal from your inner being wherewith songs…

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Psalms 31:24


The phrase 'Be of good courage. Speaks of' fastening upon, to be constant and be established.


For we know there will be moments when certain things and circumstances will attempt to make you lose faith, and other challenges will inundate your life. Even though you have faith in the Lord, there are moments when you are not constant in your fellowship with Him because other things consume your time more than your walk with the Lord. Consequently, you may find yourself feeling unstable and ungrounded.


But “Be of good courage,” that is, be constant and established. Therein lies the promise: the Lord shall strengthen your heart. For His mercy’s sake, as your hope remains in Him.


Pray in your times of loneliness


Psalms 4:3 ... The Lord has set apart those that are godly for Himself. The Lord will hear when I call unto Him.


In the time when we feel we are all alone, it is usually because we are doing the right thing. Therein, let not pity be our companion, even if it is present. May it usher us into a place of prayer. In your place of isolation, it is your Opportunity to pray. For it is written; The Lord has set apart those that are godly for Himself. The Lord will hear when I call unto Him.


However, Stand in awe, and sin not.


This we read in the next verse. The sin in this case at times is the act of not accepting the place of isolation wherewith we find ourselves as we seek a means out through fellowship with the world. instead,…


Reading from Psalms 21:5

His glory is great in thy salvation: honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.


Honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him. (You the believer)

Not only are you now saved, furthermore:

Honor and majesty are laid upon you. (Through Christ)


Honor speaks of an imposing form and appearance. That all will see. Beauty, comeliness, excellency, glorious, glory and a goodly honor. As majesty, re-emphasize the Lord's honor upon you.


Psalms 50:15

And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.


Concerning this, Barnes wrote: There is no way in which we can honor God more, or show more clearly that we truly confide in him, than by going to him when everything seems to be dark; when his own ways and dealings are wholly incomprehensible to us, and committing all into his hands.


Jeremiah 33:3

Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Beyond Self-Help: Trust in the Lord

One thing that is always present with you is your awareness. Where there is awareness, may you use the right discernment. Knowing where I am is not where I want to be in my life. Considering it is our actions, and our will, which at times usually placed us in such a place. Even then, let your desire be, ‘Lord, help me, hear me.’ When we know the danger of our situation, the honest is our prayer.


To this we pray. In like manner we say:


Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit fails: hide not Thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

Psalm 143:7


Self-help falls short. Embrace self-awareness to understand your situation. Yet, look beyond your condition and will. Trust in the Lord, acknowledging your limitations, and open yourself to divine guidance, support,…

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Psalms 119:130

In the verse above, the term “the entrance” signifies an “opening”. For the rest of this year, make it a habit to open your Bible every morning to kickstart your day. Before you delve into reading, take a moment to pray for guidance on where to begin.

The phrase “gives light” embodies the concept of dawn, symbolizing the start of a glorious day.

As we unveil His messages to us through Bible reading, may our day be filled with the enlightenment of understanding and glory. With the innocence of a child, let us allow the Lord to guide us, rather than allowing the unresolved issues of life to impose upon us a state of discomfort and worry.

Open the Word and receive your blessing.


Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

Psalms 119:117


In our own ways, we shall go as we please, but become weary if we are not supported by the Lord, continually.


Exposition:

The phrase “Hold me up” speaks of the refreshment that comes after an establishment.


Often, when the mind is not established. Consequently, it wanders, and the individual is drained. Which is the absence of being refreshed. However, here is a hope: We read, “I shall be safe.” This speaks of the awareness of that which is right, in its absence.


Reflect from childhood to now as an adult.

What were those things that were dear to you and those that are dear to you now?

As a child your new toy captures your attention before you fall asleep and in awaken, it is the first thing you seek to look upon and take in your presence.


In relation to this, today’s verse is from Psalms 119:15, we draw the same idea from this passage.

It reads, I will meditate in Thy precepts, and have respect unto Thy ways.
