Ezek.38,39; Ps. 145; Rev.20
TOPIC:
SCRIPTURE: "The LORD helps the fallen and lifts up those bent beneath their loads." (Ps. 145:14)
OBSERVATION: Here's what my Life Application Study Bible had to say about this verse in the light of the overall passage.
Sometimes our burdens seem more than we can bear, and we wonder how we can go on. David stands at this bleak intersection of life's road and meditates on the Lord, the great burden bearer God is able to lift us up because
(1) HIS greatness is beyond discovery;
(2) HE does mighty acts for each generation;
(3) HE is full of glorious splendor and majesty;
(4) HE does awe-inspiring deeds;
(5) HE is righteous;
(6) HE is kind, merciful, patient, loving, and compassionate;
(7) HE rules over an everlasting kingdom;
(8) HE is our source of all our daily needs;
(9) HE is righteous and kind in all his dealings;
(10) HE remains close to those who call on him;
(11) HE hears our cries and rescues us.
APPLICATION: If you are bending under a burden
& feel that you are about to fall,
turn to God for help.
STOP WHATEVER U R DOING
STOP RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE
He is ready to lift you up
& bear your burden ! ! !

Reading from Sept. 10, 2009
Lamentations 3-5; Revelation 15
TOPIC: Hope
SCRIPTURE: “This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, says my soul, Therefore I have hope in Him.” The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.” (Lamentations 3:21-25)
OBSERVATION: My Life Application Study Bible says, that Jeremiah saw one ray of hope in all the sin and sorrow surrounding him: The unfailing love of the LORD never ends…Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each day. God willingly responds with help when we ask. Perhaps there is some sin in your life that you thought God would not forgive. God’s steadfast love and mercy are greater than any sin, and he promises forgiveness.
Jeremiah knew from personal experience about God’s faithfulness. God had promised that punishment would follow disobedience, and it did. But God also had promised future restoration and blessing, and Jeremiah knew that God would keep that promise also. Trusting in God’s faithfulness day by day makes us confident in his great promises for the future.
APPLICATION: As I was reading through Lamentations, I couldn't help but notice the choice that was made. Verse 21 says, "THIS I recall to my mind.
Don't forget that this choice is made while
under great affliction,
wandering,
the wormwood,
bitterness
& a downcast soul
In spite of all that
We (Yes that includes U)
Can
Right Now
Even in the midst of that
Yes even that thing
That U Think is Impossible To Overcome
U
CAN
Make a choice
NOW
To Put Your Hope N The Lord
Why so downcast o my soul?
PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD
TODAY
RIGHT NOW
GO Ahead
&
Recall to your mind
HIS LOVINGKINDNESS
HIS COMPASSION
HIS FAITHFULNESS
Don't you feel better already
I know I do
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank you that you are there in the good times, the not so good times, and the down right bad times. Thank you soooooo much! That I can HOPE in you and it not be in vain.
