Thursday, August 18th - Psalm 86

Good Morning! 

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 86: This is AN AMAZING PSALM if you are hurting, feel lost or know someone who is.  Pour out your stuff to God - then receive His strength.

God is amazing!  I had been reading some email late last night and early this morning from one of our GEMS that is serving overseas as a teacher.  She and her son have had some big adjustments and have she had sent out a special prayer request.  In her emails she refers to Psalm 55:17, "Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice."  She has turned it all over to Him and He is hearing and answering her prayers!  Hallelujah!

Read verse 7, "In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me."  That is exactly what we need to do each and every day, but not just when we are in trouble.  We need to have that personal relationship with Him so that He knows even before we ask! (He does of course, but He likes us to share it with Him!) 
In verses 11-13 we have action words that we should follow:  Teach - Walk - Fear - Praise - and Glorify!  The result, "For great is your love toward me, you have delivered my soul from the depths of the grave."

As Lisa said, this Psalm is full of encouragement and love for us.  The last verse says it well, "...for you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me."  He cares for us and He gives us peace, comfort, understanding, strength, and most of all love!  Pour out your stuff to God and He will give you strength and comfort!  "God is good ALL the time; All the time God IS good!"

Please remember our sister and her son in prayer as they serve together in a foreign land.  We have an awesome God that hears and answers our prayers!  Rest and know that He is God and He is in control!

Love y'all!
Happy first day of school!  :o)
