Our Call To God

-
Good Day Men!

Psalms 86: 7   In the day of my trouble I shall call upon Thee, For Thou wilt answer me.  (NASB)

In this verse for today it appears that David is calling out to God.  He knows God will hear him.  He has found God faithful in all he has promised to do for those who love him.  In Psalms 66: 18 David acknowledges the fact that if he does not confess his sin to God then God will not hear.  Upon confession we have a clean and blameless heart and this gives assurance that God hears and will act on our prayers to him. 

To David, a pure heart was crucial in his life as he went to battle, governed the nation, and ran his family at the same time preparing Solomon to lead the nation in later years.  David truly understood what his relationship to God should be like.  He depended upon God in all things.  He knew and enjoyed fellowship with God and he understood what it took to maintain that fellowship.  When David was in trouble he would call out to God.  When God answered his prayers, He called out to God in praise and adoration.  When David was in need he called out to God.  David called out to God in all things, not just in times when he could no longer bear his own personal burdens.  We have his Psalms to show us that he never hesitated to go the master.  David truly honored God by trusting him in all things and calling upon him frequently.  We can do the same today, right now.

God is waiting for our call to him 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 ...
