Psalm 10 - I love David's deep relationship with God. He says what he needs to say to God and I love that respect and honor that He has for the Lord. Look at v.12 - "time to get up, God - get moving." In essence, David deeply knows the Lord and is saying, I know who You are and what You can do. I have been pleading with You to do it, so Lord, do it...get it going. Do you feel like ever saying that to God? If we are honest, the answer is YES! Keep falling in love and trusting Him regardless of your circumstances...a deep relationship can be honest and open like this. I think the Lord smiles to hear David say this because it is not a complaint...it is a prayer.
Acts 27 - Who is Paul? I love his courage and boldness. He had the gall to tell the people what to do and even spoke of everyone's safety. I got to thinking, what if one person would have gotten hurt on this shipwreck...would they accuse Paul? Would they have yelled at God? Nevertheless, Paul was sure of everyone's safety and many of them bought it...especially the one who was of importance on this ship. And not only did he provide for their safety, but he fed 276 people and they were full...I seriously love it when God shows up. God is ready to show up if we would just stand in the gap!!!
Ruth 2 - Ruth serves Naomi all day because of kindness. Boaz let's Ruth glean from his field because of kindness. I should write a book about kindness...haha. But let me share one insight that makes me want to fall out of my chair and give thanks to God for His faithfulness. Look up Joshua 2:10 - it says Rahab was saying, "we have HEARD how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt"...v.11 - "when we HEARD of it, our hearts melted! - Rahab heard! Now back to Ruth 2...look at v.11, Boaz says, "i've been told (I HEARD) all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of her husband and how you left your home to live with a people you did not know before." Rahab heard! Boaz heard! You ready for this? Guess who Boaz's mother is? Yep, it is Rahab the harlot. I think she might have taught her son the importance of listening to how God works! Do I listen? Do you listen? May we HEAR about God's faithfulness today and may it cause our hearts to grow deeper to Jesus! Or better yet, may someone else HEAR about how we love our God and how we worship Him...and may their hearts be drawn to Him because of our words and deeds.
