\n

I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God;
\nI will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.
\nO God, You have taught me from my youth, and I still declare Your wondrous deeds.
\nAnd even when I am old and gray, O God, do not forsake me,
\nUntil I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.
\nFor Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens,
\nYou who have done great things; O God, who is like You?
\nYou who have shown me many troubles and distresses will revive me again,
\nAnd will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
\nMay You increase my greatness and turn to comfort me.
\nPsalms 71:16-21<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

God has such a great love for us. \u00a0He holds no account of the wrongs we have done once we have confessed our sins to Him. God is so faithful to toss them away. \u00a0We are the ones that\u00a0 holds onto\u00a0so much unforgiveness.<\/p>\n

God wants us to love as He does. \u00a0Without limits or conditions. \u00a0He also wants us to have confidence. \u00a0Confidence in God’s ability to rescue us from our troubles. \u00a0David knew God was there for him no matter what<\/em> was going on. All David needed to do was talk to God and let Him take care of the situation.<\/p>\n

God will even choose us to further His kingdom among the nations. \u00a0We so often limit what we could do by our self-doubt. \u00a0God wants us to look at things from His point of view. \u00a0A limitless future awaits us if we choose to follow the Holy Spirit. \u00a0We do not have to go overseas to serve. \u00a0We can serve from where we are. \u00a0We just have to be aware of His promptings. It could be our paying it forward<\/em>\u00a0to the wait staff or taking the time to pray for someone when you feel the tugging in your mind. \u00a0There have been too many stories of people getting out of situations when the odds seemed against them. \u00a0And all because of the pressing of the Holy Spirit to pray.<\/p>\n

Father, thank you for your Holy Spirit. Thank you for watching over us everyday and for giving us new opportunities to get it right. Some of us know\u00a0Your words and do not want to be\u00a0like the Israelites that wondered the desert for 40 years because of unbelief and disobedience. Help us to\u00a0know when we need to stop and listen to and for you. Help us choose to put away the things that will distract us from your word. Give us strength to say no and help us to have a peace that only you can bring. Thank you again, in Jesus’ name, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
