Listens and reacts
““Hear my prayer, O Lord, And give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.”
Psalms 39:12
Thankful that in the hard times as well as the good that we have a Heavenly Father who listens and reacts to our prayers because He love us! Thank you God!

True peace!
“The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,” Says the Lord.”
Isaiah 65:25
For the true follower of Jesus we have the above verse to look to as it describes what eternal peace in God’s kingdom shall be like. Natural enemies like the wolf and lamb with now eat together as there will peace, love, kindness, and all the other words you can put in there to describe the perfect place to live for animals and more importantly for those who are God’s children! I long for that day and I bet you do too!!

As was his custom!
“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.”
Daniel 6:10
Daniel had some foes when he was exiled into Babylon. They were out to get him anyway they could. They knew he was faithful to God so they got the king to make a decree that no one could pray to any god. What did Daniel do? The verse above tells us…”he prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom”! He worshipped God as he always had!
May we learn from his example and pray and worship God no matter the circumstances in life. Be faithful as God is faithful!

Need a Pardon!
“Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy.”
Micah 7:18 In the situation above God had warned Israel of their desiring evil, being greedy, being dishonest, and being violent. Thankfully God offers a pardon if they turn from their sin back to Him!
A pardon doesn’t say you are not guilty it is someone showing you mercy and letting you not pay the price you should! That’s what God has done for all who will call upon Jesus as Lord and Savior!
We all need a pardon…have you received yours through Christ?

Show me the right path.
As follows of Jesus we should be desiring God to show us the path He wants us to follow as we serve Him just like King David!
“Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.”
Psalms 25:4-5
The main way God will do that is through His Word!
“Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.”
Psalms 119:105
God’s Word lights up the path we are to follow! Read it, obey it, and bring God glory!
