“God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection” (Psalm 18:30)

July 23, 2012

How many of God’s promises do you know? Have you yet prayed them? The Lord keeps them all. He loves to hear His children pray His Word back to Him. Pick a promise today and put it on like body armor. God’s promises always come true.

“I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me” (Psalm 13:6)

July 17, 2012

A psalm of David. He didn’t think it unmanly to sing to his God. This warrior/poet/king was a worshiper. The shepherd king who slew a giant is also the author of most of the psalms. His harp playing and singing were so spirit-filled that they calmed king Saul’s disturbed soul. David was once accused of being undignified in his worship. To which he replied, “I will become even more undignified than this!” Real men of God worship!

Hope

July 15, 2012 | Psalm 42:1-6,8 | discipleship

Stephen Combs, Pastor of Worship and Youth at Wilson Community Church, speaking on the word “Hope” on Sunday, July 15th.

“Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly” (Psalm 5:3)

July 7, 2012

Agreeing with the Psalmist this morning… Lord, thank you for listening to me. You are always faithful to hear my prayers. I await Your reply. Speak Lord, Your servant is listening too.

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe” (Psalm 4:8)

July 6, 2012

After years of running from Saul and sleeping in caves, David is thankful for a peaceful night’s sleep. Fear and worry can rob us of sleep, but trusting the Lord brings rest. Are you having trouble sleeping? Try reading God’s Word and praying before you turn out the light. Say “Goodnight” to God as you close your eyes and prepare to sleep like a baby.

“Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the Lord and against his anointed one” (Psalm 2:1)

July 4, 2012

On this July 4th I’m reminded that our nation was founded on the premise that earthly kings must submit to God’s order. To go against the Lord and His Anointed (Messiah/Christ) is ultimately futile. We are “endowed” by our “Creator with certain unalienable rights” our founders rightly observed. Kings and nations who forget this do so at their own peril. We do well to ask God to bless America. We do even better to ask Americans to bless God.

“Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness. Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power” (Psalm 145:3-4)

June 27, 2012

Our children learn worship from us. Teach them to worship in spirit and truth. Tell them what Christ has done and how He has saved and sanctified us! Tell of His mighty acts!

“I cry out to the Lord; I plead for the Lord’s mercy. I pour out my complaints before him and tell him all my troubles” (Psalm 142:1-2)

June 24, 2012

David’s prayer from a cave, while hiding from King Saul. Have you ever been in a “cave,” a place of darkness and despair? You can pray like David. God already knows what you’re thinking, so don’t hold back. Pour out your heart. Then, wait for His grace and mercy to arrive.

“The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever” (Psalm 138:8)

June 20, 2012

David wanted God’s plan and trusted Him to work it out. When you pray, do you ask for God’s plan or do you ask Him to help with yours? When we call Christ “Lord,” we are giving up control of our lives and yielding it to Him. He is either Lord of all or not lord at all. Surrender you plans to God. His plans are better than ours.

“I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word” (Psalm 130:5)

June 12, 2012

The Psalmist counted/depended on the Lord. He was banking on God and His Word. On what/whom do you depend? What is the source of your hope? We may not know what the future holds, but we can know Who holds the future!
