Thursday, December 8
Amos 9:1-10
Psalm 37
Revelations 2:8-17
Matthew 23:13-26

  
Psalm 37

Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and He will give you the desires of your heart.

I'm a very independent person.  God made me that way.  It's hard for me to ask for help.  I like to do things by own way.  Lots of times when I have a conflict or a problem, I want to solve it all by myself.  But do you know what?  That doesn't always work.  And do you know why?  I've left God out of the picture.

He made me strong, but He is stronger.  Why do I always forget that the Holy Spirit will always be ready to inspire, console, and help me?

Jesus wants us to come to Him, and to have faith in His goodness and love.  While I was lying in a hospital bed, awaiting serious surgery, with a questionable outcome, my fears and anxiety led me to the Lord.  And He held my hand and walked me through the pain.  He was with me the whole time, because I asked.

Delight yourself in the Lord,
and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Don't forget, He's waiting to hear from you .........

Prayerfully yours,
Pat McDowell
