If God has been active and kind to you in designing and implementing a rescue plan for you over many generations, you might want to take notice. Psalm 105 helps us do just that.

It is a declaration of all that God has done in Israel to set the stage to save the world at Christmas. (and Easter.)

Read and appreciate it with me today. We'll be telling God, "You did a good job."

Can a Christian walk with integrity when he faces circumstances he does not prefer? How about if the situation is so bad that he finds himself wearing "a collar of iron"? Is that the day to curse God?

Or, like our enslaved hero, Joseph, do we endure despite the horrors of mankind? Do we faithfully walk amidst circumstances that we do not prefer? Look with me for 7 minutes for truth that touches our world. Subscribe, like, etc:

If you have a complaint for God, what exactly should you do with it. Ps 102 does not sugar coat the circumstances that some face: when you are eating ashes; when you are drinking your own tears and when it is a day of loud groaning.

These are the days of particular opportunity. The Lord has pity on those in the dust if we let Him. In the surety of Him is the security of me. I invite you to think for 6 minutes with me about what to do in very difficult times.

What if today is a real day of distress for you? How will you respond?

Repeat after me: Have pity on my dust. If you've only got one breath left: HAVE PITY ON MY DUST.

Happy New year. I have a new year's prayer for you: I wish you the joy of His presence.

In Psalm 21, David is pretty excited that the Lord shows up for the faithful national leader.

He also warns what happens to those who "make mischief" against Him. Let's just say it isn't pretty. It is like getting shot in the face with an arrow. All the punishment and wrath is so unnecessary.

As the year starts, I recommend the joy of His presence. Start the year right with a watch now, and another tomorrow.

"God save the King" is in the Bible, Psalm 20 specifically.

It is a good prayer for him, or her if you have a Queen. Who wouldn't want their national leader to have access to the wisdom of the Lord of the universe? This psalm teaches us how to pray for our President or King or Prime Minister. Our vote is optional, but our prayers are not.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses (or tanks) but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

David writes a psalm to remind everyone to pray for the king who happens to be David.

Similarly, we should pray for our President and our leaders and our government.

As goes The success of the president; so goes the success of a nation

As goes the success of a government, so goes the success of a nation.

Our prayers are not optional for our President.
