Those who have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ are forgiven, secure, & made significant by the work of Jesus! It is “fitting for the upright to praise him.” We must make sure that we come to God with authentic and meaningful praise. ow.ly/yKvw30iLbIG

David was a warrior. He knew the sensation of shaky footing. Hiking up steep hills, sleeping in tents on the hard ground, David and his men felt the stability and confidence that comes when your feet are standing on solid ground. ow.ly/BCM130irDlA

All of us are aware of our propensity to sin and our need for God’s continual stream of grace. At the same time, by God’s grace, there are (or should be) some solid stretches of obedience. ow.ly/UYfY30irDae

God has your back. You can trust Him. He comes and relieves the troubles of your anguished heart. ow.ly/Pxh730irBH3

God has your back. See what our Psalm today says about His faithfulness. ow.ly/eie330irC1A

Because the Lord cares for me like a shepherd cares for his sheep, I have everything I could ever want…everything I will ever need. ow.ly/YGDV30inRQx

In today’s portion of the psalm, victory is coming...God has not “hidden his face,” he “has listened to” the cries for help. ow.ly/mX7H30ijoLF

Psalm 22 is the most quoted psalm in the New Testament. Jesus quoted the first sentence from the cross and the rest of the psalm describes the suffering that Jesus endured. Note how this psalm describes the crucifixion. ow.ly/RLRl30ijo5Y

David was experiencing vicious and prolonged attacks. He was being ridiculed and insulted. His trust in God was mocked. He was alone. There was no one to help him. Do you feel like David, today? ow.ly/oI5D30iaMwv

Do you ever feel like God has abandoned you? David did. In today’s passage he asks the question directly, “My God, why have you forsaken me?” He felt like God was far away, far from his cries for help. ow.ly/l0pJ30iaM4f

Thanksgiving promotes thanksgiving. When we take time to thank God for His work in our lives, others are inspired to do the same. ow.ly/BOkl30iaJMP

I have a confession to make. I stink at thanksgiving. I don’t mean to be unthankful, but the next thing is on my mind. And, of course, the next thing is full of more requests. Today I am learning a lesson from the king. ow.ly/i0lV30iaK9C

Do you pray before you go to battle? The king did. Psalm 20 is a royal psalm prayed by the people before the soldiers went to war. ow.ly/ITMz30iaJ9K

The same God, whose glory shines in the sky, desires to shine in you and through you. ow.ly/Wi9s30iaFAq

God deserves all the praise and glory. Are you watching for Him? ow.ly/RRgX30iaFmk

It’s a truth we often forget: Everything we do, everything we have, and everything we enjoy is because of God’s work in and through us. Too often we take the credit. In today's devotional we see David set the record straight. ow.ly/CzJz30i8ugz

God never makes a mistake. His way is perfect. His Word is flawless. These may feel like empty statements to some of you. Check out today devotional, ow.ly/OS1o30i7FNu

David understood the way God works. He rewards us according to our inner character—faithfulness to the faithful, blamelessness to the blameless, purity to the pure, and shrewdness to those who are devious. God’s work is always just. ow.ly/fSwI30hTbCD

God blesses obedience. He rewards us according to the cleanness of our hands. Obedience is not always easy. There are times our obedience is like a spiritual reflex…an automatic response; other times it is the hardest thing we will ever do. ow.ly/MOFu30hTblp
