"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT GOD'S HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE"

Psalm 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
Psalm 9:10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Some explanatory thoughts/application/questions and a prayer:

This Psalm is believed to be a Psalm expressing victory over the enemy. A Psalm of triumph. It's a Psalm that can encourage any believer to be courageous, and to look to God for help in trouble, and know that in Christ we are more than conquerors.

1. What God is for the person who is oppressed.
Psalm 9:9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

God's people often are oppressed. It's been that way, it is that way, and it will be that way until the Lord comes back.
But, that's not all God's people have. God's people have a refuge. It's God Himself. God is a shelter for those who are oppressed.

Oppressed means, crushed, or afflicted. So, if that is you today, please look to God your refuge, God your shelter.

2. Something else God is for the person in times of trouble.
Psalm 9:9 ...... A refuge in times of trouble.

God is indeed a refuge for those who are oppressed, and here we are told He is refuge for those who are in times of trouble.
Trouble means, distress, affliction, adversity, anguish, tribulation, and adversary. It speaks of those times of being in straits, when we are vexed, rivaled by the enemy.

God is a refuge, which means, defense, high tower, high fort. Secure, height, retreat, stronghold.
God is all of those things for the person who is in trouble.

3. What those do who know the name of the Lord.
Psalm 9:10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;

God is a refuge, but here we see what those who know Him will do. It's one thing for God to be something, it's quite another for what God is to become real and meaningful in our lives, and this occurs and takes place as a result of what is said in this verse.
"Those who know Your name will put their trust in You. Or believe You, take You at Your word, cry out to You, depend upon You, believe wholeheartedly in You, and experience Your great comfort.

4. Why those who know the name of the Lord trust Him.
Psalm 9:10 .....LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

This is so wonderfully comforting. That God has not forsaken the person who seeks Him. It may seem like He has. When the dark clouds of trouble hide His face. But, He is there, the clouds will come and go, but He will not. He will not forsake those who seek Him.

Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them.

Questions:

1. Are you in a time of oppression, feeling crushed and perplexed?

2. Remember what God is, He is there for You.

3. Are you in a time of trouble and distress?

4. Remember, God is your refuge.

5. Do you know the Lord? Than you can put your trust in Him, because He has not forsaken you.

A prayer:

Father, a good day to You. We are today, one day closer then yesterday to seeing You face to face. And, for those today who may be going through a time of oppression, and a time of trouble, we pray for them, that they would find the truths of these verses hitting the target for their hearts and minds. Bless them with great sustaining peace and joy. We love You Lord, in Jesus name, amen

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE IN A STORM"

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARE IN A STORM"

Acts27: “Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.

Some explanatory thoughts/application/questions, and a prayer:

Paul was on a ship, that was in a violent storm, that actually ended in a shipwreck, but no lives were lost.
God had spoken to Paul earlier and assured him that he would not perish, nor would any of the others on board. And just as things were as bad as they could be, and men were panicking and putting themselves in danger ( as they tried to jump off the ship ) Paul stood up and spoke up and delivered a message to them. He spoke to them because God had spoken to him.

1. God speaks to us in the midst of storms that's for sure.

Here Paul recounts how God had spoken to him.
Acts 27:23 “For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,
Acts 27:24 “saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

At the worst moment in this doomed voyage as it were, God spoke to Paul. And, gave him very specific words of instruction and encouragement.

And, it's always been that way with God's people. One story after another in Scripture attests to this fact. And, so do the countless testimonies of believers down through the ages. If you are in a storm, and you are looking to God, He will speak to You, and He will tell you exactly what to do, or what not to do.

2. God calls us to believe Him in the midst of storms.
Acts 27:24 “saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

Please notice what God said to Paul in the midst of the storm. "Do not be afraid, Paul;" Can you imagine how fearful it must have been to be in that life threatening situation, a shipwreck was taking place. Fear would have gripped every heart and mind with a fierceness. But, God speaks in storms, and He spoke to Paul. And, God will speak to you if you are in a storm.

Essentially, God will no doubt speak very similar words to you. He will tell you not to be afraid. He is your father, and you are His child. Children become afraid, ( and so do grown men and women ) but, God will comfort you just as fathers do for their children. He will tell you not to be afraid, and He will also explain why you don't need to be afraid. Just as he did here. See the reason that God gave to Paul.

Acts 27:24 “saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

3. God's Word to us can be trusted in the midst of a storm.
Acts 27:24 “saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

God's Word can be trusted anytime. But it seems that in a storm, we are more focused on what God is saying, because we are more aware of our circumstances and the danger ( or what we think is danger ) associated with our circumstances.

God assured Paul that he was not going to perish, and that His plans for Paul would come to pass. Paul believed God's Word in the midst of the storm. And, may God help you also to believe Him if you are in a storm right now.

Questions:

1. Are you in a storm right now?

2. What has the Lord said to you in the midst of this storm?

3. If you don't think He has spoken to you, will you ask Him to do so?

4. Please be assured that God knows your situation, and He will speak to you.

5. Will you make the decision right now to put your faith completely in what God is going to say to you?

A prayer:

Father, Your Word contains so many records of so many of Your dealings with Your people down through the ages.
And, Your Word fits into our lives so perfectly. Thank You for caring for us so much, to give us clear advice, clear guidance, and unending encouragement through it. Please help us to listen and be doers of Your Word. In Jesus name. Amen.

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WICKED AND THE RIGHTEOUS"

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WICKED AND THE RIGHTEOUS"

Psalm 7:14 Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
Psalm 7:15 He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
Psalm 7:16 His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.
Psalm 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Some explanatory thoughts/application/questions and a prayer:

This Psalm has been called "Prayer and praise for deliverance from Enemies"
Written and sung by King David to the Lord concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite.
Cush is believed to be one of King Saul's henchmen, who had been sent to kill David.
Cush is also believed to be Shimei the man who sided with Absalom, and cursed David as he was being sent out of Jerusalem.
David restrained his men from retaliating against Shimei. However when Solomon became King, David ordered Shimei to be executed.
In this Psalm, much is said of what happens ( ultimately ) to the wicked.
And, it underscores the beauty and wonder of God's people having access to Him.

1. The wicked bring forth two things.
Psalm 7:14 Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.

This verse is a simple description of what a wicked man produces in his life, or what comes out of his life.
He brings forth iniquity.
And, he conceives trouble.
And brings forth falsehood.

Here's how it reads in the NLT
Psalm 7:14 The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies.

This is what this man Cush was doing in his life against David.

2. The wicked have a sad surprise waiting for them.
Psalm 7:15 He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.

Scripture over and over again states the truth of this verse. When the wicked set out to hurt someone, they will wind up getting hurt themselves. Little did this man Cush, or Shimei know what was going to happen to him much further down the road. In fact, David showed mercy to this man for a period of time.
But, in the end due to some further actions on Cush's part, he wound up being executed by David's son Solomon.

So, it's one thing for a wicked man to act wickedly today, and to plan to bring hurt to others. But, the Bible warns over and over again, that if you dig a pit for someone to fall into, in other words, if you are being hateful and malicious towards someone, know that one day, you will experience what you had planned for the other person.

3. The wicked will reap what they sow.
Psalm 7:16 His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

God has built this principle, this law into life. It goes both ways. One can sow righteousness and reap blessing, one can sow sin, and reap corruption,

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Another way of saying this is found in the following verse.

Isaiah 54:17 But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed. And everyone who tells lies in court will be brought to justice. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

4. The righteous can praise God, and sing to the LORD Most High.
Psalm 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

This is the other side of the story. And, it can be any of our stories. Not righteous on our own accord, but righteous by our having believed in Christ. Saved by grace. Walking in the ways of the Lord. Praising God, and blessing Him all the days of our lives.

What a different and wonderful life we can have now, and in the future for all eternity.

The choice is up to every man. Choose life in Christ, and enjoy the blessings of God now and forever.

Questions:

1. Do you have someone who is assaulting you with sin and trouble at this time?

2. Pray for them, for they have a sad future that awaits them.

3. Have you experienced the truth of these verses in your own life yet?

4. Will you today, take a moment to thank God, and to praise Him, and to pray for your enemies?

A prayer:

Father, the Psalms are such a blessing to us. They resonate with us. We read them and we find such comfort, hope, instruction, peace and power in them. Thank You for preserving them for us, and having them available for us to read.
How many millions and millions of Your children have been refreshed and helped beyond words by them. Thank You Lord.
In Jesus name, amen.

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO IN EVERY UNSAVED PERSON'S LIFE"

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT WHAT GOD WANTS TO DO IN EVERY UNSAVED PERSON'S LIFE"

Acts 26:18 "to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me."

Some explanatory thoughts/application/questions, and a prayer:

This verse is part of a testimony that Paul was giving before King Agrippa. The Jews who hated Paul for preaching that man can and only can be saved by grace through faith, and not by the works of the law of God, had acted in such a manner that Paul was now having to defend himself. And, in defending himself, he was witnessing to this King Agrippa, explaining how he had come to salvation on the road to Damascus, and how the Lord had called him to be a minister of the Gospel. And this verse, Acts 26:18 really gets to the heart of what our gracious God wants to do in the life of every person who is not yet saved. Here's the verse again, "to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me."

1. God wants to open their eyes.
Acts 26:18 "to open their eyes...

Men's eyes are not naturally open to the Lord. In fact, unsaved men's eyes are blinded to the things of God.
Here's how Paul put it in 2nd Corinthians 4:4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

Please notice that instead of saying "eyes" he says "minds" Essentially saying the same thing. Satan is not only the great liar, and destroyer, but he is the great blinder of men's eyes and minds. He has the power to blind, and does so to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel. He does not want them to see and know the truth, that's why he keeps them in the dark so to speak. But, God, and God alone can, and wants to open men's eyes to the wonderful good news of Jesus Christ.

2. God wants to turn them from darkness to light.
Acts 26:18 "to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light,

Here we see a further description of the need of unsaved man, and the desire of God towards unsaved man. An unsaved person is said to be not only in darkness, but darkness itself.

( 1) Believers are no longer of darkness.
1st Thessalonians 5:5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

(2) Unbelievers are literally described as darkness.
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

But, the Lord wants to change all this, and He can. Most likely you who are reading this, are now saved, and in the light. If by chance you are not yet saved, please know that you can be. God will save you if you turn to Him, and ask Christ to save you.

3. God wants to turn them from the power of Satan to God.
Acts 26:18 "to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God,

Here we have more of what man is, and more of what God wants to do for man. Man is naturally in his or her unsaved state, under the power and control of Satan. But, the Lord wants to turn them from the power of Satan to the power of God.
And, He does this by convicting a person of their sin, and their turning to Christ for forgiveness.

Ephesians 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
Ephesians 2:2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
Ephesians 2:5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

4. God wants them to receive forgiveness of sins.
Acts 26:18 "to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me."

The list of blessings included in salvation, goes on and on. Here's another big one of course. The forgiveness of sins. So, not only are men's eyes opened, and they are turned from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to the power of God, but God forgives them of all their sins.

Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
Colosians 1:14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

5. God wants them to receive an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus Christ.
Acts 26:18 "to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me."

Having said all that's been said so far, there is yet one more blessing that God wants to bring into the life of a person who is not saved. Looking forward, God wants to give to His children an inheritance along with all of His other children.

Our God is so gracious and extravagantly generous. He has an inheritance waiting for each one of His children. Praise the Lord.

Questions:

1. Can you remember when your eyes were first opened to the truth of Jesus Christ?

2. Do you remember what it was like when your life was changed when you put your faith in Jesus Christ?

3. How would you describe the impact that took place in your life, when you were released from Satan's power into God's?

4. And, how about forgiveness. Do you remember the first time you really recognized and understood your sins were gone?

5. Would you take just a moment right now to thank God for all that He has done for you?

6. And, would you pray that God might use you to bring these blessings into the lives of those who need it?

A prayer:

Father, what a blessing to read this story of Paul speaking before King Agrippa. Thank You for sharing what You did in Paul's life. You have brought Your gospel to so many down through the years. What Paul was commissioned to do, he did, and so have many others. It's our prayer that we might take this same calling, and go full steam ahead sharing Christ with all who need Him. Please give us the boldness to speak up when we have an opportunity. Please make us sensitive to the people we are around, and look for and pray for an opening to share Christ. May our demeanor's and our words, and the way we carry ourselves be a witness to the lost, that there is something about us that is impacting them. Use us Lord in these last days to share the Good news of Jesus Christ. In Jesus name, amen.

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT THE LIFE AND PRAYER OF JABEZ"

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT THE LIFE AND PRAYER OF JABEZ"

1st Chronicles 4:9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”

1st Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.

Some explanatory thoughts/application/questions and a prayer:

The book of 1st Chronicles emphasizes the spiritual significance of King David's righteous reign. Through David's offspring would come the Messiah. Jesus Christ whose throne and kingdom would be established forever. Much of 1st Chronicles traces the genealogy of the returning exiles ( coming out of their captivity ) back to the patriarchs and ultimately to Adam, establishing David's household as the one of promise for Israel's crown. Thus, you have many, many lists of different families and their children. The two verses we are looking at, are concerning a man among many, but what is said of him is worth noting.

1. God can and does make a man honorable if he is willing.
1st Chronicles 4:9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”

The name Jabez, means sorrow. Apparently, his birth was marked by tremendous pain for his mother. But, what he became would no doubt have washed away her memory of pain and sorrow. For Jabez became an honorable man. In fact, he as more honorable than his brothers. What a wonderful distinguishing reality.

God is not a respecter of persons, but man can become respectful before God and man if he so chooses. And that is apparently what happened in the life of this man Jabez. May it happen in our lives also.

It's grace that makes us what God wants us to be. We must believe God, and be doers of His Word, but at the end of the day, what makes us honorable is God's grace in our lives.

1st Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

2. God's men and women can call upon Him, and that is what Jabez did.
1st Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.

God has given us a very detailed account of how this man Jabez prayed.

(1) He prayed for God's blessing in His life.

(2) He prayed that God would enlarge his territory. Or extend my lands.

(3) He prayed that God's hand would be with him.

(4) He prayed that God would keep him from evil.

(5) He prayed that God would keep him from causing other pain.

3. God's man Jabez prayed in a way that you and I can pray also. And, God will hear and bless you as well.
1st Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.

Please notice what is said at the end of this verse. "So God granted him what he requested."
It's such a blessing to know that our prayers can not only be heard, but answered. And, we know that they will be answered when we pray in accordance with the will of God, which is apparently what Jabez did.

1st John 3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

So, it behooves us to keep His commandments and to do those things that are pleasing in His sight. We can ask according to His will, and seek to live and act according to His will. And, have the confidence that God will answer our prayers.

Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him.

Isaiah 41:17 “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

Questions:

1. It's true that we have no idea of what pain our mothers may have gone through leading up to and including our birth.

2. Do you believe that regardless of your past experiences, that God can and will make you an honorable man or woman?

3. Are you learning to pray?

4. Do you know that God will answer prayers that are according to His will?

5. Please take another look at the prayer that Jabez prayed, and see if you can pray along the same line.

6. God's answer to enlarging our territory, is not limited to physical or material, but can include spiritual blessings as well.

A prayer:

Father, it's amazing how in reading through a simple portion of the Bible, such as a record of different families, that we can run across a couple of verses that are so rich and so meaningful to us. Down deep inside of ourselves, we want to be like Jabez. An honorable person. And, like Jabez we desire Your blessings in our lives. What a blessing it is to be kept from evil, and to be kept from causing pain in the lives of those around us. May it be so Lord, may it be so. Grant our requests we pray in Jesus name. Amen.

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT TWO BLESSINGS FROM GOD"

"SHARING HOPE THROUGH SCRIPTURE ABOUT TWO BLESSINGS FROM GOD"

Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him.

Some explanatory thoughts/application/questions and a prayer:

It's believed that David wrote this Psalm. And, some have called it " A Psalm which describes the safety of the faithful."
You can see this by looking at the very last verse in the Psalm.
Psalm 4:8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
David would go to bed in peace, and sleep. Because He knew that God alone was the one who made him to dwell in safety.
May this devotional bring you some sense of God's peace and blessing in your life today.

1. God wants us to know the blessings He has bestowed upon us.
Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him.

God has given you so many blessings, and He wants you to be sure of them. He wants you to know of them. The verse above says, "He has bestowed upon us" He has already given us so many blessings, and there are two in this verse.
Please read the verse again, and see if you can pick them out. Remember, there are two.

2. God wants you to be sure to know that He has set you apart for Himself.
Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him.

Well, here's the first one. And it's that God has set apart the believer, the godly person for Himself. What does this mean exactly? The phrase "set apart" means, separated, put a difference, to be distinct, marked out, be separated. to make separate. Please notice, the part of the verse that says, "For Himself" God has set you apart for Himself. He loves You.

Another way of understanding this phrase, is that when you turned to Christ and believed in Him, You were placed into Christ, You were set apart to God, You belong to God, and You have been marked out for Him, for His exclusive use. You belong to Him, He owns You. You are no longer your own, but now you are His possession. You belong to God. What a blessing.

3. God wants you to know that when you call out to Him, He will hear you.
Psalm 4:3 But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him.

And, here is the second blessing. When you call out to God, that is, when you pray and talk to Him, He hears You. What a blessing to know that God hears us when we call to Him. . And, we can be sure of it, because the Bible tells us it's so. Look again at the last part of the verse.
Psalm 4:3 The LORD will hear when I call to Him.

Another way of understanding this blessing, is that the Lord will answer when you call to Him. God hears and answers our prayers.

Questions:

1. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Count your blessings, name them one by one?"

2. Well, here are two that you can count and name.

3. Do you ever think of yourself as having been set apart to God for His exclusive use?.

4. Will you take just a moment right now, to bow your heart before the Lord and thank Him for these two blessings.?

5. Do you have the real confidence that when you pray, God will actually hear you and answer you?.

A prayer:

Father, thank you for the Psalms. They are indeed a never ending source of encouragement to us. And, this fourth one falls into that category to be sure. What a joy to our hearts to learn about the many blessings You have already given us, let alone the eternal blessings You have in store for us. We are Yours. And, You hear us and answer us when we call. Thank You Father.
In Jesus name, amen.
