As I was reading this morning from Psalms, Psalm 142 and 143 grabbed my attention. King David was crying out “There is no escape for me! No one cares about my soul!” Have you ever felt or feeling that way? That is how King David was feeling when he wrote Psalm 142. But, he knew who to turn too, and so should we. He cried out to God “Hear my prayer, Lord”! “Listen to my pleadings”! “Answer me in Your faithfulness, in Your righteousness”! “Lord, You are my refuge”! “My soul longs for you”! “Bring my soul out of this prison”! “In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble”! “So that I may give thanks to Your name!” Folks, is your soul longing for God?
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thoughts From Proverbs 12:15
“Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others.”
Proverbs 12:15 NLT
Folks, we need to understand that we can’t know everything, we need to demonstrate our wisdom by seeking good advice.
May God bless you this week with peace, joy, and happiness.
Thoughts From Psalm 27:1
Good Morning, here is something to ponder on today…”Are you trusting in God or man?”
King David, a man after God’s own heart always trusted in God. He never relied on man. In Psalm 27:1 he tells us, “The LORD is my light and my salvation- so why should I be afraid? The LORD is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?”
Think about this for a minute….”Why should I be afraid? What can this world throw at me that God can’t handle?
1 John 4:4 says that “you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.”
Folks, if you are trusting God, you have no reason to fear…anything!
Have a great day and may God bless you with grace, peace, and joy!
Thoughts From Romans 8:38-39
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39
Folks, for those who trust God, the Bible is packed with promises of His everlasting love. In times of doubt, you can cling to these promises. Think about this…”Are you standing on the promises of God?”
Thoughts From 1 Corinthians 10:13
1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”
Folks, think about that verse for a minute. No matter what temptations, trials, hardships, or pain you are going through God has provided a way through them. Give Him all your problems in life and have faith that He will take care of them. Let God be…..God!
