Psalm 81
A great promise for us...that God will protect us from our enemies (Satan) and that we will be fed (physically, etc.) and satisfied. We need both protection and provision. All of us do....We also need a Savior.
Key here is to listen to God...to listen and obey.
That is why corporate worship and living hand in hand with other believers is important. So that we can support and encourage one another...to press forward towards maturity.
But most importantly I believe is to have a hunger and thirst for righteousness so that we may be transformed through the renewing of the mind.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God who loves me, even though You know everything about me. You provide and protect me....and You have saved me from the sting of sin and death. Thank You Jesus. I am not worth such love and blessings. I worry. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways, how quickly I would subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their foes!...But you would be fed with the finest of wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you. v13-14,16
