Look Up!
Psalm 19, 2018
Look up and see how awesome our God is!
The never-ending skies above us announce the power and the glory of our Ceator!
Everyday the skies teach me more about you, Father God. Night after night, they reveal your majesty. The skies don’t use words but their message stretches out over the whole earth. Everyone on this planet can know you, Creator God, just by looking up.
You command the sun to rise each day on one horizon and then circle above us until its sets on the other. People of all nations everywhere feel its warmth.
You reveal your truth to me in your Word and it refreshes my soul by bringing my thinking back in line with your’s. I can’t trust what people around me say but I can always trust what you say.
When I follow your guidance, God, you make me wise. Choosing to do what is right brings joy to my heart.
Your Word lights my path. I will love and respect you forever!
Your Word is my firm foundation. Thank you for teaching me what is right, Father. Your Word is more valuable than money and it proves that you only want the best for me.
You warn me of dangers ahead and your Spirit convicts my spirit when I have done something wrong. Forgive me, Father. Keep my eyes focused on you so I can avoid bad choices and the evil which presses in all around me.
May my words and my thoughts please you, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 86, 2018
Do you hear me, LORD? I need you to answer me.
I have faith and trust in you. Guard my life.
You are my God, please have mercy on me. I call to you all day long. I put my trust in you to bring joy back into my life.
LORD, you are always forgiving and good to all who call to you. Please hear me as I cry for mercy. You always answer me when I call to you in distress – I know you will answer this time as well.
There is no one or no thing like you. No one does what you do.
You have made all things and there will be a time when all things come to worship you, bringing you glory, LORD.
You are great and marvelous – you alone are God.
Teach me about your faithfulness, LORD, so that I may understand it. Give me a heart that is dedicated to you so I show respect for everything you are.
With my whole heart I praise you, LORD my God. I will praise you forever.
Your love for me is awesome! You have saved me from the darkness that is all around me. The lies of my culture try to attack my thinking, O God. Satan is working hard to snuff out your light in this world.
There are so many fools around me who have no regard for you.
But you, LORD, show your compassion and grace. You are so patient with us, so loving and always faithful. Show me your strength and mercy.
You have saved me and I serve you only, just as my mother did. Make your light shine in my life, LORD, so the lost ones around me can see you and know how you have helped me and comforted me.
You alone are God, Abba Father.

I Earned It
I work hard.
I got the degree.
I put in the extra effort.
I save it and invest it well.
There are a lot of I’s in those statements, aren’t there? As James would say to us, “Don’t be deceived, my dear brother and sisters.”
The truth is – everything comes from God. God owns it all. My paycheck, my house, my car, my IRA – it’s all God’s and he has given it to me. Just like he has given whatever you have to you.
God provides for us. He gives us the ability to work for a living. He helps us grow our skills and knowledge. He gives us perseverance to get up every morning and the strength to complete our tasks for the day.
It all comes from him.
I love the visual I see in my head as I read 1 Chronicles 29. King David is standing in the middle of huge mounds of gold, silver and bronze. There are piles of precious stones all around him.
With his hands held high up to the sky, he praises God and says, “Everything in heaven and earth is your’s”.
It’s all God’s. Everything we have and are comes from God. I have the right perspective when I understand that I am totally dependent on God for everything. Until I get to that place, I am deceiving myself.
“Now, our God, we give you thanks and praise your glorious name.”
Thank you, Abba Father.
