God Is…Ready To FORGIVE!

Good Day Men!

Psalms 86: 5   For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in loving kindness to all who call upon thee.  (NASB)

You ever do something only later to wish you hadn’t?  You may even be alone with God and frustrated and impatient with what you believe to be his lack of interest in your immediate problem.  You may hurl angry comments toward heaven in hopes that God will sense your pain and rush to you need.  He knows what we are going through long before we enter that particular situation.  He knows when we are in pain and are suffering anguish of some sort.  He understands our heart and knows what motivated us to say what we said to Him.  Now we are embarrassed in His presence and have a hard time praying in earnest to our holy God.  Fear not!!!!   For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in loving kindness to all who call upon thee.  David was obviously a very wise man.  We cannot hurt God with our comments concerning how we may feel about his answers to our prayers.  Our remarks to God may become so intense that we actually damage the relationship.  So what part of the relationship is damaged?  Our part.  God’s desire and relationship with us never changes.  He is always compassionate, loving, kind, and merciful when it comes to His relationship with us.  It is we that distance ourselves from God when we behave unwisely and impatiently.  Even at times after we have asked God’s forgiveness, we still hurt.  Time will heal that wound that we have made in ourselves, especially time in God‘s word and in prayer.  God humbles us when we lovingly come to him in need.  We allowed Satan to push us and manipulate us to the point that we are not rational and as a result….we fall.  Our response is that we should allow God to better prepare us through the study of His word so that this doesn’t happen again.  And if it does happen again, then, Fear not!!!!   For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in loving kindness to all who call upon thee.  I think if you look close enough that you will see that verse memorization is a good thing.  Repetition is the mother of skill.  We DON’T repeat the sin….we do repeat the prayer.

Our God truly loves us and wants to comfort us when we are hurting.  Let Him bless your life with the abundance of loving kindness today.

May God richly bless us as we continue to seek His will and His way, through His Word…..AMEN!

Have a Great Day!!

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
