daily prayer

   Good morning! How are we faithing? The Word is so cool. It speaks to us all in ways that apply to our lives. Our minds and spirits must be tuned in to what it has to say. It is referred to a "living word" for good reason. You or I may read something today and get a message and the next time we read it we see other principles. Does that mean it is contradictory or convoluted? Not at all. It is so wise in structure that when we read with a situation or question in mind it causes us to sometimes think in ways we never thought to think. Like todays Psalm continuation. You may glean something different than I do today and that is fine. God speaks to us all and we are able to hear through his Word when we diligently look. Pray before you read for understanding and read. Try this; pick a chapter from, for example psalm 91 and reread it every week for a month. You will get something that is applicable to your situation each time. You will see truths that are within the Word that each time is fresh. Give it a try. Here's todays verses and following are what was spoken to me by other scripture...fascinating!

Psalms 91:12-14
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
KJV

James 1:12-18
   Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.
 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.
Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.
In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be, as it were, the first fruits among His creatures.
NAS

Isaiah 33:15-16
He who walks righteously, and speaks with sincerity,
He who rejects unjust gain,
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed,
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;
He will dwell on the heights;
His refuge will be the impregnable rock;
His bread will be given him;
His water will be sure.
NAS

Isn't that great? What did you get from the psalm today?
Remember Al Godley and family...remember Bob West family...
 
Heavenly Father,
  Thank you for your Word that sustains us. Reveal you will and your wisdom every day when we seek your face in your Word. Lord we lift those who are in sorrow and in anxiety today. Calm nerves and comfort hearts. Reveal yourself and your presence in a way that is so real and recognisable that you cannot be denied. In Jesus name we pray, amen
