FOUNDATION FOR OUR DAILY LIVES

Psalms 11: 1-3   In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
² For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
³ If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

For some reason David was forced to flee for safety several times.

Being Gods anointed King did not make him immune to injustice and hatred from others.

Even with all of this happening David always knew that God was always in control.

Like David, faith in God keeps us from loosing hope, and helps us to resist fear.

Hope is and always will be the foundation for faith. In knowing Gods word we build on this foundation.

David was comforted because he knew God was greater than anything his enemies could bring against him.

When your foundation is shaken and you feel like hiding, remember that God is still in control.

God’s power is not diminished by the turn of today’s events.

Nothing happens without his knowledge and permission

God has had a plan since the beginning of time and no leader, no president, no man or event can change Gods plan.

It is going to be as He planed, and just as it was planned

So if you watch fox news and sometimes feel like running away, run to God.

He is the one with the plan.

God will restore justice and goodness on the earth in His own good time

Something you should know. God does not preserve the believers from difficult circumstances.

But he tests both the righteous and the wicked.

For some, Gods tests become a refining fire, while for others they become an incinerator for destruction.

Don’t ignore Gods tests and challenges; use them as opportunities for growth.

Sometimes for Christians in these days, living for God in a deceitful world can be full of difficulty and lonely.

At one time the great prophet Elijah felt so lonely he wanted to die.

We are never alone in our battle against evil, so when you feel alone, seek out other believers for strength and support.

God cares for the weak and the needy. He promises His protection. His promises and provision are mightier than any problem.

We have one hope, the word of God. God’s words are as flawless as refined silver, so listen carefully when He speaks.

Sometimes all we need to do is talk over a problem with a friend

A believing friend can help you put things in a different perspective.

There are times we think that God is slow to act on our behalf.

Like most humans we want it, and we want it now.

When you feel impatient, remember David’s steadfast faith in God’s unfailing love.

God not only expects us to obey his guidelines but he wants us to love Him with all our heart.

No one except Jesus Christ has done that perfectly, sometime we humans fall short.

Today we live among evil people whose standards and morals are eroding.

Our standard of living this life, as believers, should not come from our evil society, but from Gods word.

Words are powerful and how you use them reflects on your relationship with God.

It is human nature to make our own plans and then ask God to bless them.

Instead, we should seek Gods will first.

 We can do this by constantly thinking about the Lord and His way of living.

Believers and unbelievers alike experience pain and trouble as well as failure at times.

Those who seek God can move ahead, confident in knowing what is right in Gods eyes.

Those who know God know that God will help keep them from straying off His chosen path.
