Finding Strength to Stand!

Strength To Stand!

Today, I read again:

Ps 138: 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
Very interesting how this psalm reads!

It begins:

Ps 138 I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.

² I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Here in verse two, we see God establishing the integrity of His Word, and then the psalmist shows us his response to God’s Word.

God gives us promises, that must be walked out in the earth, in sometimes very, difficult circumstances. God gives the promise, and when we are having difficulty holding on to what He said, we can call unto Him, and He strengthens us when we cry out to Him.

So, my dear friend, remember what God has spoken to you! Do not give up! When it looks impossible, and you are so weary in well doing that you think you have enough, you can cry out to Him, and He will answer and strengthen you with strength in your soul!

Let’s do that today, together!
“Father God, I cry out to You, right now! Father, strengthen me in what you have said! Give me courage, boldness, tenacity, endurance, and joy in the journey, I pray, in your name Lord Jesus!”

Wisdom Builds…

Wisdom Builds the House

Pr 24: 3 ¶ Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

In men’s prayer one morning, a friend of mine, John Van Harn, exhorted us through this word. John studies and regularly teaches on the wisdom of God, and has a tremendous CD series on this topic. He said, so many people focus on amassing knowledge, instead of wisdom. Knowledge will decorate the rooms, but it takes wisdom to actually build anything. Wisdom is the foundation upon which understanding and knowledge must rest. Wisdom is the principal thing.

Jas 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
On that note, let’s pray:
“Father God, we seek you for wisdom today. We ask for it, and I believe you are giving it to us, liberally, for we ask in your name Lord Jesus. We believe we receive it, now, Amen.”
