Event: Busy Monday, Tax paying day, Credit Card payment day

Here and Now:

I slept late last night and woke up 6:17 so I slept just right and I like sleeping only 5 hours because my mind's awareness is heightened and I have new strength. I thank JESUS for the rest HE gave me.

Scriptures

Psalms 9

English Standard Version

I Will Recount Your Wonderful Deeds

[a] To the choirmaster: according to Muth-labben.[b] A Psalm of David.

1 I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;    I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.

2 I will be glad and exult in you;    I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

3 When my enemies turn back,    they stumble and perish before[c] your presence.

4 For you have maintained my just cause;    you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

5 You have rebuked the nations; you have made the wicked perish; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.

6 The enemy came to an end in everlasting ruins;  their cities you rooted out; the very memory of them has perished.

7 But the Lord sits enthroned forever;  he has established his throne for justice,

8 and he judges the world with righteousness;    he judges the peoples with uprightness.

9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,    a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.

11 Sing praises to the Lord, who sits enthroned in Zion!    Tell among the peoples his deeds!

12 For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;    he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

13 Be gracious to me, O Lord! See my affliction from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gates of death,

14 that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.

15 The nations have sunk in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid, their own foot has been caught.

16 The Lord has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands. Higgaion.[d] Selah

17 The wicked shall return to Sheol,    all the nations that forget God.

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten,    and the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.

19 Arise, O Lord! Let not man prevail;    let the nations be judged before you!

20 Put them in fear, O Lord!    Let the nations know that they are but men! Selah

Mark 7

The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith

24 And from there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon.[g] And he entered a house and did not want anyone to know, yet he could not be hidden. 25 But immediately a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard of him and came and fell down at his feet. 26 Now the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” 28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs.” 29 And he said to her, “For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter.” 30 And she went home and found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

ObservationGOD is a stronghold, HE is a reliable refuge, HE never forsakes those who rely on HIM, who trust HIM and seek HIM with all their heart. I take comfort in the character of GOD, that inspite of who I am, HE will do everything for my well being, HE will take care of me, HE will free me from the oppression of being loved by a husband, HE will deliver me from the desire of being married because this desire is making me unhappy and discontent with everything that I have on earth. Until the time is right HE will keep my heart safe.

ApplicationI will hold on to my GOD, I will keep crying to HIM, nobody else cares more for me but HIM.
