Scripture:
Psalms 145:13 For your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations.
Observation:
In the middle of such economic chaos it is good to know that you are the everlasting God. You are not afraid of what the world can bring. I know that you are the God of history and the God of the future. You are so good. I find myself being fearful in the light of the unsettling events of the world economy. You have already been in the future and i know you will be there when i get there. I love you and am at peace knowing that you are in charge
Application:
Prepare to live here in on the planet and be aware of the surroundings i live in, but never allow them determine how i will respond. IOW: knowing God is in control is the good news and worthy of trust
Prayer:
Jesus i want only to be afraid of you and what you can do to me. I have hope and i am thankful for that. I love you

The Gracious arm of the Lord
Scripture:
1 Kings 21:27 But when Ahab heard this message, he tore his clothing, dressed in burlap, and fasted. He even slept in burlap and went about in deep mourning.
28 Then another message from the Lord came to Elijah: 29 “Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has done this, I will not do what I promised during his lifetime. It will happen to his sons; I will destroy his dynasty.”
Observation:
i believe we can never fully understand the loving grace of the Lord. Ahab was a disobedient, spineless, leader ovet the people of God. His disobedience and fear of the his wife over the fear of the Lord, was clear for all to see. Still the loving gracious arm of the Lord reached down to cover the simple humility Ahab showed.
Application:
May i always remember to repent. I never want to leave my disobedience un repented. The truth is that the Grace of the Lord can cover my stupidity if I will only allow Him
Prayer:
Lord you are so mercyful. It is hard to fathom how gracious you are. Thank you for the example of Grace and forgivness you show. Will you help me to do the same. I love you my Jesus
