1. Readers: Some Blessings We Don't Even See!

And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
— 1 Samuel 23:14 NKJ

Saul sought to kill David EVERY DAY! 

Yet God did not allow Saul to touch David. If Saul is hunting for David absolutely every single day, he must have had quite a hunger to destroy David.  Saul took this hunt very seriously.  With such rigor and determination, one would think Saul would prevail, kill David, and claim victory.

And maybe this is exactly what would have happened, if God wasn't involved. 

Question:

Do you want God involved in your life?

If you have a strong relationship with God right now, then you have no idea how God may be protecting you and blessing you this very minute.  Oh, my sweet brother or sister in Christ, how great are His blessings upon us, particularly the ones we may never know about!

What a comfort, what a joy, what a peace!  God really does give us this day.  We don't claim it, we definitely did not earn it, and we don't deserve it. This very day was given in more ways than you will ever know.

Find and secure this peace with God.  I have some great prayers that come straight from the Bible for you to try praying to God.  Choose some or one to pray every day.  And then, now listen, be ready! God is going to answer your prayer, in much bigger ways than you will be expecting!

 

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
— Psalm 51:10 NKJ
Show me your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths, Lead me in Your truth and teach me.
— Psalm 25:4,5 NKJ
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way of everlasting.
— Psalm 139:23,24 NKJ

All these verses were prayers written by David!  God protected him.  In Psalm 91:14, God says "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him."

Love God, and thank Him for all of this day!
