Praise
be to the LORD, for HE
has heard my cry for mercy. The LORD
is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in HIM,
and I am helped. My heart leaps for 'JOY'
and I will give thanks to HIM in
song."
Psalm 28:6-7 Today,
being Monday, the first busy day of your week, we pray that you get your
'JOY' ON and praise the LORD
with us, the whole week long! "HE
has heard my cry for mercy" You have so many reasons to give
praise to CREATOR GOD each and every day you are
alive. Your HEAVENLY FATHER never fails to give you HIS
total attention. No matter your troubles, no matter how serious your problems, HE
hears your cries for mercy! If
at times you feel your answer is slow in reaching you, that is the time to renew your
faith and trust in the fact that HE will always; "Hear
your cries for mercy to HIM! "The LORD
is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in HIM,
and I am helped."
WHAT
IF GOD HAD VOICEMAIL?
We have all learned to live with voicemail as a
necessary part of modern life. But you may have wondered, What if God decided to install
voicemail?
Imagine praying and hearing this..."Thank you for calling My
Father's House. Please select one of the following options:
Press 1 for requests.
Press
2 for thanksgiving.
Press 3 for complaints.
Press 4 for all other inquiries."
What
if God used the familiar excuse..."All the angels are helping other customers right
now. Please stay on the line. Your call will be answered in the order it was
received."
Can you imagine getting these kinds of responses as you call on
God in prayer?
"If you would like to speak to Gabriel, press 1. For Michael,
press 2. For a directory of other angels, press 3. If you 'd like to hear King David
sing a Psalm while you're on hold, press 4. To find out if a loved one has been assigned
to heaven, enter his or her social security number. For reservations at My Father's
House, press the letters J-O-H-N and then 3-1-6. For answers to nagging questions about
dinosaurs, the age of the earth, and where Noah's ark is, please wait until you arrive
here."
"Our computers show that you have already called once today.
Please hang up and try again tomorrow."
"This office is closed for the
weekend. Please call again on Monday after 9:00 am." |
Here
is a good example of what happens when we pray in JESUS Name
asking HIM to send HIS mercy to
us- When
we pray in JESUS Name . . .
JESUS
hears our prayers
When JESUS
hears our prayers . . .
JESUS
answers our prayers
When JESUS
answers our prayers . . .
We have what we have asked from HIM.
Today
and everyday, live your life in the 'JOY' of the LORD! |
