Monday's Moment with God

Worthless Worry

"I was young, and now I am old, but I have never seen good people left helpless or their children begging for food." Psalm 37:25

We worry. We worry about the IRS and the SAT and the FBI...We worry that we won't have enough money, and when we have the money we worry that we won't manage it well. We worry that the world will end before the parking meter expires. We worry what the dog thinks if he sees us step out of the shower. We worry that somenday we'll learn that fat-free yogurt is fattening.

Honestly, now. Did God save you so you would fret? Would he teach you to walk just to watch you fall? Would he be nailed to the cross for your sins and then disregard your prayers? Come on. Is Scripture teasing us when it reads, "He has put his angels in charge of you to watch over you wherever you go"? (Ps. 91:11).

I don't think so either.

Monday's Moment with God

A Chosen People

"You are a chosen people, royal priests, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession." 1 Peter 2:9

Do you ever feel unnoticed? New clothes and styles may help for awhile. But if you want permanent change, learn to see yourself as God sees you: "He has covered me with clothes of salvation and wrapped me with a coat of goodness, like a bridegroom dressed for his wedding, like a bride dressed in jewels" (Isaiah 61:10).
Does your self-esteem ever sag? When it does, remember what you are worth. "You were bought, not with something that ruins like gold or silver, but with the precious blood of Christ, who was like a pure and perfect lamb" (1 Peter 1:18-19).
The challenge to to remember that. To meditate on it. To focus on it. To allow his love to change the way you look at you.

Monday's Moment with God

God Listens

"I cry out to the Lord; I pray to the Lord for mercy." Psalm 142:1

You can talk to God because God listens. Your voice matters in heaven. He takes you very seriously. When you enter his presence, he turns to you to hear your voice. No need to fear that you will be ignored. Even if you stammer or stumble, even if what you have to say impresses no one, it impresses God, and he listens. He listens to the painful plea of the elderly in the rest home. He listens to the gruff confession of the death-row inmate. When the alocholic begs for mercy, when the spouse seeks guidance, when the businessman steps off the street into the chapel, God listens. Intently. Carefully.
