Theme: The Safety of the Faithful
Text: Psalm 4:1-8

Memory verse ~Psalm 4:3
But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him.

This is one of the Psalms ascribed to King David. Just as David, we need to each rely on the power of God. The Lord is able to relieve us from every form of distress and to give us rest (Matthew 11:28-30).

When you take the form of the Lord, that's living a righteous life, you are most likely to be opposed by people who live contrary lifestyles. They will seek to make life uncomfortable for you so as to make fun of you. However relax just as Daniel took it cool in the conspiracy of the other commissioners and satraps and the Lord will give you victory ( Daniel 6:1-28). You've been set apart by the Lord and so evil shall not overtake you.

It is good to detest sin but do not extend it to a brother or sister engaged in it. Rather pray for them that the saving grace of God redeems them from sins grip. Your thought should continually be pure and trust God in all situations.

Believers do not live by sight but by faith and so do not get discouraged when things are not falling well for you. Trust God and keeping doing good. Avoid being lazy so the Lord will bless your handwork and gladden your heart. If you commit all you have into the hands of God, you'll dwell in safety and your sleep will be pleasant.

Prayer: My Father in heaven, cloth me in righteousness and teach me to rely solely on You in every sphere of my life in Jesus' name. AMEN!

In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
