Our Powerless Enemy

Remembering...and Forgetting

God never, ever contradicts Himself. So how can we so what He says, and both remember...and forget? "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV)

Our Powerless Enemy

What if we realized the enemy is powerless...unless we give him power? Would that change things? "Shall I look to the mountain gods for help? No! My help is from Jehovah who made the mountains! And the heavens too! He will never let me stumble, slip, or fall. For he is always watching, never sleeping. Jehovah himself is caring for you! He is your defender. He protects you day and night. He keeps you from all evil and preserves your life. He keeps his eye upon you as you come and go and always guards you." (Psalm 121 TLB)

He is With Us

Do we really need to ask God to be with us? "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand." (Isaiah 41:10 CSB)

The Heart of Worship

What does God want from us today? "Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things." (Psalm 103:1-5 NLT)

Numbering Our Days

Scripture says we should number our days, and specifically asks God to help us. So how do we do that? What does it look like to do so? "Teach us to number our days and recognize how few they are; help us to spend them as we should." (Psalm 90:12 TLB)
