Placing the Correct Call

When we need electrical repairs, we call a qualified electrician. When we need the kitchen sink or garbage disposal fixed, we call a certified plumber. When our car breaks down, we take it to an auto mechanic that we can trust. When we need help, we place the call to someone we can trust to make the repair that we need.

Psalm 65:5 says, “By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea.” Our God answers prayers, and He does so with awesome deeds, far beyond what we can expect. Among His awesome deeds is the giving salvation and hope to us through His grace, which comes to us only through the sacrifice of His Son for us on the cross.

Glory In the Details

My wife has always had an interest in arts and crafts for children. She can create the most wonderful activities for children using her crafting ability. She is a detail person that researches and makes sure everything is ready for the children to make a lovely craft item for themselves or for loved ones. To her every detail is important and she is exceptional in explaining and guiding children in this way.

Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” God created a wonderful work of art and grace when He made you. He formed every detail of your body, mind, and soul and is well pleased with every aspect of His work.

In Our Arms

Three of the most emotional and powerful moments of my life was holding each of my children in my arms after they were born. Holding your new born child stirs our souls to new heights. At that moment, the baby feels secure and loved, while the parent is moved to do everything they can for this newborn baby.

Psalm 68:19 says, “Praise the Lord; praise God our Savior! For each day he carries us in his arms.” Every day, without fail, God perfectly and completely supports, protects, and loves us by carrying us in His arms. Let us continue to live daily in the security of His embrace.

Best Coverage Possible

Insurance policies always have exclusions or conditions for coverage. Health insurance has the preauthorization requirement built into many policies. Home insurance covers most tragedies, but not all. Your auto insurance provides protection, but can be rescinded at any time. Where can we find coverage that will always protect us?

Psalm 91:4 says, “He will shield you with his wings. He will shelter you with his feathers. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” God’s coverage of His children is perfect and complete. We are shielded by His presence and His promises, neither of which ever fail.

Spoken in the Right Way

My hearing has really deteriorated lately. The audiologist told me that volume is no longer the issue, but rather I am having trouble distinguishing sounds. So I can hear the words spoken to me, but I am having trouble discerning the words. I need people to speak somewhat slowly and articulate their words well. Similarly, when we approach God in worship and in prayer, we must come in the proper manner.

Psalm 19:14 says, “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” The writer of this verse is making a plea to God, asking that his own worship be acceptable to God. The writer is also speaking of his personal quest to depend upon God to make the writer’s words and meditation be aligned with God’s words and thoughts. Let us also seek by God’s power in us to align our words and thoughts with God’s.
