God’s Word Says….

Psalm 16:5-8 (GNT)

⁵You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands. ⁶ How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are! ⁷ I praise the Lord, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me. ⁸ I am always aware of the Lord’s presence; he is near, and nothing can shake me.

My Thoughts…..

There are verses that speak to me in such a way that I print and post them on my PC screen, because I feel like they will uplift me and bless me on and on throughout the day as I reflect on them. This becomes extra special to me when I start to feel discouraged or disheartened in any way, because I then turn to those verses! These verses penned by David are ones that can have this effect on us. They can calm our restless and impatient minds, as we are reminded that our future is in God’s hands. They make us appreciative for what we have, and perhaps not so envious of what others have, because they teach us to thank God for the wonderful gifts He showers upon us. When we reach, what appears to be, roadblocks in our lives, these verses teach us to praise the Lord for guiding us and giving us a conscience to warn us. Finally, having a sense of God’s omnipresence gives us so much confidence that nothing could shake us. Friends, there is no god like our God!

Challenge……

Friends, the only way that these verses would mean anything to you, is if you are enjoying a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ. You see, it is hard for you to believe anything I just said above, unless you have built a trust relationship with the same Savior of which I spoke. The good news is, that you can accept this Savior of mine right now! God created us in His image and for the purpose of glorifying Himself. There is nothing He would like more than to welcome you into His fold, and to love on you and care for you more than your earthly father could ever do. Please contact me if I can possibly pray with you about this very vital decision, and point you in the way to life everlasting with the Master of our universe. I would love to pray with you and for you! For those of you that know Jesus as your Savior, meditate on these words today and let’s worship Him for all that He blesses us with! He is an awesome God!

Prayer…

Thank You for Your Word dear Lord! Thank You for saints like David who shared his challenges, and the high points of his relationship with You. What a blessing! Please speak to the hearts of my readers that need a touch from You today, especially the touch of salvation. Please tender their hearts yet again, and lead them into a decision for You. Please encourage and bless Your saints as we daily seek to draw closer to You and best align our lives and our character with Yours. May others see Jesus in our walk and in our talk, all for Your ultimate glory! For I ask all this in the precious and holy name of Jesus, my Lord. AMEN!
