Psalm 16 (The Message) 1-2 Keep me safe, O God, I've run for dear life to you. I say to God, "Be my Lord!" Without you, nothing makes sense.

Has your life ever gotten to the point where nothing seems to make any sense? I mean, everything, that is happening in your life just seems to be going to hell in a hand basket. Children, job or lack there of, sickness that won't go away, problem after problem after problem, insurmountable odds that are seemingly against you! And all that you want to do is scream! That is when you need to sit down, get alone with God and simply say “ Be my Lord”. “My Lord”, aren't those wonderful words? My Lord. Jesus is my Lord! Say it. Mean it. Believe it. Jesus is my Lord.....

There is no other name in heaven or on earth that can save you. There is no other name, like the name of Jesus, that can touch the hearts of sinner and saint. The name that is above all names. The name that every knee shall bow down to and every tongue shall confess that he, alone, is truly Lord. And when we call out that name, Jesus, the very angels of heaven wait for Him to say go, rescue my saint! For even the angels love Him and serve Him and they are at His beckon call to rescue us from all the hell on earth. Nothing makes sense at times except this one thing, Jesus is, was and always will be Lord.

Hebrews 6:13 (The Message) 13-18When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, "I promise that I'll bless you with everything I have,bless and bless and bless!" Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him. When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they'll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up. When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee,God can't break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.

His promises will keep us safe. Look at the way the Message bible puts it, He puts His reputation on the line, He promised! In the New living Testament they put it this way in verse (13); For example, there was God's promise to Abraham. Since there was no one greater to swear by, God took an oath in His own name. 2Corinthians 13:1  as the Scriptures say, "The facts of every case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses"). Well here we have a case. If you believe in the trinity, we can believe this promise that He will keep His promises because the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are all in agreement! Now all we have to do is come into agreement with them. Or you can call God a liar. 1John 5:7 So we have these three witnesses in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. And we have three witnesses on earth, (8) the Spirit, the water, and the blood and all three agree. (9) Since we believe human testimony, surely we can believe the greater testimony that comes from God. And God has testified about His Son. (10) All who believe in the Son of God know in their hearts that this testimony is true. Those who don't believe this are actually calling God a liar because they don't believe what God has testified about His Son. So, are you tough enough to call God a liar today or not? It sounds silly, but that is what we are doing when we don't believe Him. Jesus Christ is real or He isn't, which is He to you? Allow God to make sense of your life!
