1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. Selah
4 May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
5 We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests.
6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
9 O LORD, save the king! Answer [a] us when we call!
Lord you are good and your mercy endures forever. He never leaves, He never forsakes, He is always there. Though times we don't understand to even those times when you can't stand. He wants you to come on your knees before Him, lay your burdens down at His feet. He is there.
God gave me a great walk to work today. I love those times walking and talking with Him. It is so real and fulfilling. At staff meeting we watched this video of a speaker that had come to a conference. I wish you could have seen him. I can honestly say that he is one of the most interesting looking people I have seen-very unique:) He talked about being a steward and here are some of the notes I took...
Steward of-
ME-Who I am
1 Cor 6:19-20
My Thing-What I do
your responsible
James 1:17/1 Cor 4:7/Gen 33:5
I don't own my things, they are on loan from God. Even people are a gift. See that those things
he allows me to have bring glory to Him
5 Tendencies we have indicating that we aren't thinking like a steward
1: We Control/overpower
Your strength pushed to the extreme is your greatest weakness
What we try to control
Circumstances
People
God
1 Tim 5:8
A Person in charge= has vision and goals
A Person in control= close minded and is feared
Eph 6:4
2:We Criticize
God gives us something and we criticize
Ps 127:3
3: We worry
Don't! It all belongs to God
4: We brag
Wait a second-it has nothing to do with us, who should get the glory? Well, God.
5:We use
Abuse-King Sauls example of building a monument to himself..
