How amazing is this Psalm? Why do we let this world keep us struggling? It can not do anything to us; we are in our loaner bodies here and should be waiting with excitement to be home someday. David says; “…and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help.” Have we surrendered to His will and died to self so we can truly be thankful for all Jesus did? Jesus dying on the cross was the help we needed and accepting that and being thankful is what keeps our feet from slipping. Having that relationship with Christ is what keeps us strong and focused on Him. We need to spend time asking and seeking wisdom that comes from the Lord so we can grow more confident and trusting in our walk in His presence. I would ask everyone to pray a prayer of thanks after reading this today and just stop and realize how Great our God is. Amen
Psalm 56:11-13 “I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? I will fulfill my vows to you, O God, and will offer a sacrifice of thanks for your help. For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light.”

My first thought after reading this passage is how can we not be HUMBLE in every day life, every situation we find ourselves in and in every challenge God allows or gives us in our lives. Staying FOCUSED is a daily choice we all need to do as Christians.

Amen Brother! When you read the Word of God, there are so many promises given to us by God, and really good ones, that promise us a beautiful, wonderful life. The only thing we have to do is live a life that pleases God. Even in the OT people said "Oh Yes Lord" and then didn't do it. And the same thing is happening today. Let's surprise God and get into His Word and start doing as He says. What a wonderful world this would be.

Know what? I think if more believers 'truly' grasped this concept (me included ; ) - - how limitless would we be? How powerful in the Holy Spirit. God is so good, and so amazing and has so many promises to fulfill in us, simply because He loves us. How great is that! It's like a friend at work told me recently..."I am spoiled rotten by the Father, because He loves me and wants the best for me and honors the desires of my heart." Good stuff....GREAT stuff!
