July 30th - Extreme Love...endures and protects.

July 30, 2010

Psalm 91:4
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

When a summer storm suddenly appears and catches us outside, we run for shelter to get out of the wind and rain. From the vantage point of heaven, we look like little chicks, running under the protective wings of a mother hen when they feel threatened. As God's children, we are never without a place to run when we are threatened by the storms of life! God's presence and promises are always near! Do you see Him?

Proverbs 27:17
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

There ought to be a verse in Proverbs that says, "Getteth thou over it!" or "Letteth it go!" We are all in need of relationships that make us sharp, not dull; better, not bitter! Do you have a friend who will be honest with you at all times and tell you things you don't exactly want to hear? We all need these iron to iron relationships in our lives, even if it causes a few sparks from time to time. In a loving way, resolve to be a better friend today!

Psalm 103:11
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

Are you down and discouraged today? Let this verse lift your spirits! God's mercy, which describes His kindness and His commitment to treating you better than you deserve, is measureless. It reaches higher than the heavens! This means that there is not one situation, not one problem, that is beyond His ability and desire to help you!

Isaiah 46:4
And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

Statistics from the Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life seem to indicate that with age, passion for daily prayer increases. Forty-two percent of Gen Xers, those born between 1965-80, said they prayed daily in the late 1990's. Now, fifty four percent of those same Gen Xers say they pray every day. Forty seven percent of Boomers, those born between 1946-64, said they prayed daily in the early 1980's. Now, sixty two percent of the same Boomers, say they pray every day. Perhaps the older we get, the more we understand our need for God to carry us! May His promise to carry you into old age motivate you to give all you can now and calm your fears regarding tomorrow!

Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Storms are part of our lives. Someone observed that either we are in the midst of a storm, just coming through a storm, or there is one looming on the horizon. The question is, "What will you do when it arrives?" What if we stopped telling God how big our storms are and instead tell our storms how big our God is? You may be going through some trial or storm right now. God has not left you. He is present to lead, guide, and encourage your heart!
