Answered Cries

Meditate.

In times of trouble, may the LORD answer your cry. May the name of the God of Jacob keep you safe from all harm. May he send you help from his sanctuary and strengthen you from Jerusalem. May he remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings. May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers. Now I know that the LORD rescues his anointed king. He will answer him from his holy heaven and rescue him by his great power. Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the LORD our God. Those nations will fall down and collapse, but we will rise up and stand firm. Give victory to our king, O LORD! Answer our cry for help. Psalm 20:1-9

Rise Above!
Have Victory
Prosser Balloon Festival

Victory! You’ve won. Shout for joy! I’ve particularly liked the verse from this scripture passage… May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed. We all want success…to have victory. Whether it is your High School football team or your fight against cancer…you want victory! David was encouraging his people…as they were encouraging him in battle. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers. My prayer for each of you reading this is…may the Lord answer all your prayers—then shout for joy when we hear of your victory. Another promise we see here is that the LORD rescues his anointed king. David was His anointed king…but as children of our Heavenly Father, the King of kings—we area also royalty. He will rescue each of us, keeping us from harm. That is a great promise. Claim it for yourself.

Are you a child of God? If not, seek to know Him more today—to become a child of the King. The time to make a decision to love the Lord as your God, as your Savior, is growing shorter with each passing minute. Jesus will return one day, possibly soon, and take His believers home to Heaven. Then it will be too late to decide. Choose today whom you will serve—where you will spend eternity. Heaven or Hell? Everyone will live forever—you choose where you will be.

Prayer ~ We belong to You, God. You have already won a victory over our enemies, because the Spirit who lives in us is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. From 1 John 4:4. Thank You for being our Savior and giving us victory.

Verses of Salvation ~ O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?" For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:55-57

Verse of Thanksgiving ~ Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Philippians 1:3

 Happy Birthday, brother Joeske!
