Sunday Psalm Believe God And Be Blessed

Sunday March 24, 2019

As we get to know God in this process of coming to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity, we’re often not sure that God will hear and answer our prayers.  We are hopeful that He might answer, but we do not have the assurance that God knows and cares and has the power to meet our needs.

The Bible assures us that “The eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.”  (2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV)

What does it mean to have a heart fully committed to God?  It means we choose to believe that God exists, that His word is truth, and we live our lives based on those facts. 

Lord, save us!  Lord, grant us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless you. The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine on us. … You are my God, and I will praise you; you are my God, and I will exalt you. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.  (Psalm 118:25-29 NIV)

The Bible tells us that a man named Abraham believed the LORD, and the LORD counted him as righteous because of his faith. Abraham had favour with God and God blessed him and granted him success.  The founders of AA included Step 2 because they knew God delights in us when we have faith to believe that He exists, that His word is truth, and show it by putting those beliefs into action in all our affairs. 

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.  The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry. (Hebrews 11:6; Psalm 34:15 NIV)


 Prayer: Heavenly Father, I choose to believe that You exist and that You hear me when I call out to You in prayer.  Help me to exalt and honour Your word in all my affairs.  Amen
