Psalms 42:11 NIV

Our verse today, most likely written by King David, is a reflection of questions we have today. The Psalmist is talking with himself, from a God perspective to his own soul. He's trying to convince his soul that God is still with him. He knows his God is still there beside him, but his emotions are leading him astray from that knowing. Does this sound familiar to you? Can you relate to the words? I know I can, as well as many others. When we decide to put our faith in God, that faith WILL be tested. The Psalmist knows this and is trying to console his soul with the truth of who God is and that He is still with him. Take heart and be encouraged with this verse, because even if your soul is downcast, God is still right there with you.

11) Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.

Proverbs 23:9 NIV

This verse this morning smacked me right upside my head and I chuckled at it's truth. As Christians it's our "Great Commission" to bring the gospel to people, but not all are going to receive it. 1st and most importantly, God has to open and soften their hearts for the gospel to take hold, and not everyone's heart is going to do that. As much as we want to help other's, there are some that will not believe and will mock or ridicule the message. King Solomon is letting us know here that trying to deal with "fools" will not be productive. As much as we think we might be able to impact them in a good way, the only one that can do that is God. Openly share God's word with others, but know that it's only God alone who can open their hearts to receive it.

9) Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words.

James 1:27 NIV

30 times, there are 30 times in the Bible where the word orphan is mentioned. Many of the times it's followed by widow or widow's. This number should give us an important introspect on how God's heart is towards the most vulnerable in our world. In this verse James is teaching the church a lesson on God's heart and what's truly important to Him. Religion is a word thrown around far too often when we're talking about God. Religion is man made, Jesus did not care for "religion" He was more concerned with our relationship with The Father. We too should be more concerned with building that relationship with the Almighty. Food for thought today on one of the ways we can get closer to God and do His will on earth.

27) Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Psalms 77:11 NIV

Today's Psalm wasn't written by King David, instead by a person named Asaph, who was a Levite musician and singer in David's court. Why do I mention this? We need to be reminded that there were everyday people who've added to the Bible. God uses all people, regardless of their social status, just look at the Apostles. Asaph's message for us is one of reflection. He's reminding us that God has performed miracles in the past and continues to do so to this very day. When you have doubts of if God is hearing, or seeing you, know that even when you don't feel Him, He's still working. Our lack of His presence being felt doesn't mean He's forgotten us or isn't working out the plan for our lives. Just know that His plan can be so dramatic in your life that He will use it to pull others to himself, don't give up hope, the sun WILL rise tomorrow.

[11] I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

Proverbs 20:22 NIV

I'm certain that this verse is for someone receiving this, more than likely that person is me. Our human nature is one of vengeance, when we're wronged we want retribution and the sooner the better. King Solomon, in all his wisdom, warns against that. We've all heard the phrase "vengeance is the Lord's " but many times that doesn't sit well with us. Why are the guilty allowed to go free from offences? I don't know that answer, but if we believe this Bible is the word of God, then it's verses like this one that's been put into it for a reason. Doesn't make it any easier to swallow at times, but knowing it was God inspired to Solomon should tell us that we need to pay attention to it, and try our best to do what it says.

22) Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!” Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you.

‭Ecclesiastes 9:17 NIV‬

I was in one of my apps this morning, listening to several chapter of Ecclesiastes, and this verse stuck strongly with me. There are times when we want to be heard, perhaps to assist in a problem, or smooth a trouble. When you're dealing with fools, sometimes it's better to keep our mouths shut and walk away, this is where wisdom comes into play. The older we get, the faster time seems to go, and I don't know about you, but I refuse to waste my time on fools who don't deserve something I'll never get back. There's times when we need to walk away from a situation or people, those that will drag us into a position we don't need to be in. The younger you can learn and apply this, the better off your life will be. I'm not saying to be mean or rude, but simply leave the situation or person to deal with their foolish behavior. Our time on earth is short and fleeting, use it wisely.

(17) The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

‭James 1:27 NIV‬

The Apostle James is instructing us on what's close to God's heart with our verse today. The word Widow is used more than 80 times in the Bible, Orphan is used over 42 times in the Old and New Testaments. God's will is that we look after and take care of these vulnerable people. What stuck out to me is the last part of this verse "keep oneself from being polluted by the world". I know it may be a hard concept for people, even believers, but this world is not our home, we are just sojourners here just passing through. God is setting us on a path to where we will spend eternity, and the choice is ours to follow His lead, or ignore Him to out peril. So are you willing to be His hands and feet in this temporal place we call earth? If so, remember that we're just passing through here, this isn't all there is, plan your walk accordingly.

(27) Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

‭Proverbs 17:3 NIV‬

Being a Christian is not easy, anyone who's tried to walk out faith in Christ knows this. A very large part of being a Christian is our heart posture. ‭Proverbs 4:23 says this, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." God will test us, and our heart posture, to see if we're ready for the next step in our journey. We all want God to use us boldly, but only God knows if we're truly ready for the next step. Our journey with Christ will encounter setbacks, as the devil will come at us even harder once we've decided to live out and spread the gospel. Don't be surprised when hardships comes, or that God allows it to happen. This is all part of our sanctification that He will use to further our journey with Him.

(3) The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the heart.

Proverbs 16:9 NIV

Many of the verses in the Bible have truth in them only if you believe in what the book says. To me this verse is one of those. We all have dreams that we want to follow at some point in our lives. There are times where our dreams don't come true, or barely leave the ground. We think that we just weren't meant to have these dreams, and that is correct according to this verse, as perhaps your "dream" isn't God's "purpose" for your life. It can be a bitter pill to swallow to not be able to live out what you have planned out in your life, but if we believe in God and His word, we can find that He has a plan for us, using the gifts that He gave us. Just some food for thought today while you're talking with Him.

9) In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.
