Episode 52 - Psalm 42:11 & the ministry of Unbound

Psalm 42:11 (Amplified) - Why are you in despair, o my soul? Why have you become restless and disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him. The help of my countenance and my God.

Psalm 42:8 (Amplified) - Yet the LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song will be with me.

 

There is that powerful word WILL. I hope you are always on the lookout for that word. And that you believe it when you see it, whenever you read it in one of God’s promises. It’s so good to remind ourselves that whenever God says that He will do something - oh yes indeed Mrs McCready He will, He will absolutely do it. Our God gets things done. 

 

I don’t know what your tomorrow will be - so I am sharing this with you for your right now and I really really want it to bless you, encourage you, pour out God’s favor upon you in the right now. Today. When you lean in to listen to what He will say to you - believe that He will command His lovingkindness in the daytime (like, depend on that! All day long! God is commanding His lovingkindness over you all day long.)And at night, lying down to go to sleep or read a book before you nod off, before you turn on the book light remind yourself that His song will be with you. You can ask Him to give you a dream that sparks hope. You can pray for restful sleep, and that you would sleep soundly all the way through the night and that you will wake up early enough to spend a good hunk of time with Him in the morning. And know that if God says He is singing over you all night long - well, He is close by. He is keeping an eye on you.

 

How do you go about talking to yourself throughout the day? Look you don’t spend time with anybody as much as you do with yourself. Who talks to you more than your own thoughts? So who has sway? What weighs most? What weighs most is what wins.

 

To alter something you need to altar it - put it in Jesus’ hands and then keep your hands open to receive what He wants you to have in place of that stuff you needed to give over to Him.

 

Ask yourself, why are you in despair? Why have you become restless? Why in the world are you disquieted? Seriously, ask yourself these questions. And you know what will happen? You are going to be like, “Yeah. I know who my God is. I know who my God says I am. I will not be in despair. I’m not gonna stay restless and unsettled and disquieted. No, I choose to quiet myself like a weaned child and rest in my good and loving God.”

 

Expectant. Looking up - chin up - expecting God to move at any moment now. Any second now!

 

Don’t let your narrative be negative. Fit the narrative to God’s Word. What the Bible says is true. So live like you believe that it is true. And make your life, your thoughts, fit that narrative. And you know what? That’s how you go in the right direction. That’s how you live an obedient and submitted life before your God and your King.

 

I'm speaking at the upcoming Life Skills Leadership Summit & the host is giving 5% of all that comes in to Unbound and I am donating 5% of anything I bring in from tickets sold via my link .  But the host Kerry Beck is going to meet my 5% as well. So her 5% plus my 10% and hopefully the other speakers will opt to donate too, because it compounds and it will, it will make a difference. Think about that child, that girl, that young woman whose whole life can be changed. Yeah - buy a ticket. Click that link. Please. I ain’t to proud to beg on this one folks.

The link is right below this & I cannot thank you enough for your support of this ministry.
