This Week’s Theme – God Hears Us
October 5, 2018
Hear me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good; Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
Psalm 69:16
Thought For Today
Our attitude about God when we pray does make a difference. Have you ever approached someone with a lousy attitude and received a less than desired response? If you approach God with a negative opinion about Him, about His character, and even wonder whether He has a kind spirit, you might be disappointed with the outcome of that prayer.
The verse today focuses on the truth about God’s character. “Hear me, O LORD, for Your lovingkindness is good; Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.” Psalm 69:16
This attitude says God is full of loving-kindness, He is good, and He responds to our needs with a multitude of tender mercies. He is full of compassion, and He has proven it over and over with His loving mercy in the past. His supply of mercy and kindness will never run dry, so go to Him with full confidence in a loving, merciful Father, who is ready to hear your request today.

LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear.
Psalm 10:17
Thought For Today
God is the same as He has always been. You can take great comfort in this. Since he has been so responsive to the prayers of the humble in the past, you can be sure He still responds with a listening ear when we come humbly to him.
Here are three truths for today about how he hears our prayers.
1. God prepares our heart for effective prayer. God is the one who conditions our heart for humility. Be open to His work in your life today to get rid of pride and come before Him with a humble heart.
2. God protects the innocent. When we come to Him in humility, we can be sure, He hears us, and He moves with great strength to protect the innocent, the fatherless, and the oppressed.
3. God pleads our case and puts an end to our persecutors. He is a deliverer of victory and a restorer to all we’ve lost in our life.

Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.
Psalm 55:17
Thought For Today
How much do you pray? If you are like me, you are probably thinking, “Not enough.” Why don’t we pray more? I’d say our most common excuses are…
I don’t have enough time.
I don’t know what to say.
I’m not sure He hears me.
I’m not sure it will make much difference.
I don’t want to “bother” God with my needs.
I don’t deserve His help because I’m not a very good Christian.
Do any of these sound familiar? Well, ultimately we have to differentiate between the truth and the lies we believe. Take another look at the list. None of these are true. And understand this once and for all, God loves to hear from you, and He cares deeply about having an ongoing conversation with you. Start talking to Him in the morning, at noon, and at night.

But know that the LORD has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him.
Psalm 4:3
Thought For Today
God has set apart those who have chosen Him, those who have chosen to live godly. To persecute God’s children is to harass God Himself. His children have an inheritance in heaven, and He pays attention when we call upon Him. If you had the ear of a king, wouldn’t that be amazing? Well, you have the ear of the King of Kings. He hears you when you call on Him.

This Week’s Theme – Friendship
September 20, 2018
As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
Proverbs 27:17
Thought For Today
Iron sharpens iron. The challenge today is to understand the power of relationships, especially in our conversations. Your willingness to be engaged in a lively discussion can have a profound impact on a friend. The influence to think Biblically, commit to holiness, and be more committed to Christ, are all outcomes of your willingness to be a communicator.
You can also have a profound influence on your friend’s life in wrong thinking through the words you speak.
In the same way, iron coming into contact with another piece iron can be a sharpening experience, your conversations with a friend can sharpen thinking for good or evil.
