It’s takes a firm commitment and love to walk uprightly. While most people don’t care what they say, think or do, those who love God choose to please God in their daily lives. King David said this: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer” (Psalm 19:14). He prayed to God for help to live righteously because he knew that without God’s help, he would mess up. He knew that God was not only His Redeemer, He was also his strength. You might be going through a challenge living for God in the midst of an unredeemed world, but be reminded today that God is your strength and redeemer. He will help you to live uprightly before Him. And even when you mess up, His love and forgiveness are always there for you. Be strengthened today. There are those who are observing you, and they are thinking “if he can live for God, then maybe I can to. Have a blessed week!
God hears your cry!
There are times in our lives where we don’t have any answers or response to challenges and problems that come before us. King David had many huge issues, challenges and problems as a king. It was during these times that he would cry out to God for insight and wisdom. Psalm 119:169 (NET) says: “Listen to my cry for help, O Lord! Give me insight by your word!” He trusted God in the most difficult of circumstances, whether it was a giant that he had to face, or when his own team wanted to stone him. He always went to God in worship and prayer. God always responded to him, whether it was through His word, or through a prophet, God was faithful to give him the insight or strategy he needed at that moment. You might be in a similar situation right now. Most would just allow stress, worry, fear and anxiety to overtake them. But God reminds you today that He is with you, and strategy and wisdom are on their way. He has listened to your cry and prayers, and He will give you the insight and strategy you need.
Psalm 81:7 “You called in trouble, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder”
