Be With Me: 7 Minutes of Biblical Wonder
Be With Me is a daily 7 minute chronological walk through the New Testament hosted by Michael Smith. It is for everyone who is curious about what Jesus actually said and did in the gospels. Most episodes will leave you with at least one good thought to chew on for the rest of the day. We start with the Bible and hopefully end with Awe. We are walking through the chronological events of Jesus' life and then thoughtfully considering them. It is meant to spur the devotional life of the Christian and the not-yet-Christian. We occasionally venture into the Old Testament when it helps our understanding of the New Testament events. Everybody has 7 minutes. Everybody needs to wonder. Be With Me is hosted by Michael Smith who has absolutely no special qualifications to do a podcast. He is not a pastor. He has not been to seminary. He does not lead a mega-church. He is not a professional and he has no more credentials than you do. He does, however, follow a great God with an observant eye and a curious heart. Each day, he starts with a study bible and aims for astonishment. ‘be with him’ for 7 minutes as he sets out daily to discover the God who invites us to ‘Be With Me.’

Your prayers are not optional for your President s39e126 Ps20
Yesterday was about calming and quieting my soul
Letting God be God
Not occupying myself with PRIDE, and even things too great
I will let God be the holder of the truly great and marvelous, even if they are secret to me
I can be calm because of what He controls
I can be quieted because of what He currently holds. Today is about our priviledge and responsibility spiritually toward the king. David makes argument: Your prayers are not optional for your President
May He answer you when you are in distress, when it is a day of trouble
May He give you the desires of your heart
May He grant all your requests
May He answer you from holy heaven
May He answer us when you call
May He fulfill all your petitions
May Answer you when you call Of note, it is a psalm of David. It is WRITTEN by David. It is written FOR David.
Trust in the Name of the Lord Our God
20 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
and give you support from Zion!
3 May he remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah
4 May he grant you your heart’s desire
and fulfill all your plans!
5 May we shout for joy over your salvation,
and in the name of our God set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!
6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with the saving might of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They collapse and fall,
but we rise and stand upright.
9 O Lord, save the king!
May he answer us when we call.
These are all, first, but not only, prayers for the KING.
This is a psalm that addresses our behavior towards the OFFICE AND THE OCCUPYER of that office of national leadership
One can learn a great deal about one’s spiritual life from the evidences that are given in the relationshiop of an individuals relationship with gov.
Every citizen should be praying for the favor of God for his leaders and government.
I’ve had the privilege of being in a Wednesday am bible study for more than 30 years now. That’s 7 US president election mornings after We meet after the election of a new president. Some we have voted for. Some we haven’t. About ½ the time, the new administration will be someone I supported the day before, But on that every-four-years morning, we always do the same thing: we pray for our government. Yes their success.
As goes The success of our president; so goes the success of a nation
As goes the success of government, so goes the success of a nation. This video is timeless. Whoever is your president as you watch this video, I suggest you pray for him or her,
Whether you voted for him or her is optional, your PRAYERS are not.
Your prayers are not optional for your President
Psalm 20 is no different, it is a first a blessing for the King.
It is a petition, dependent before the Lord, asking for His favortowards the PERSON and the OFFICE of their national leader
But it is not heretical to use this for asking for a similar blessing for ourselves and our family and our friends and other people.
Just LISTEN Catalog and admire what the Lord does in this psalm
Perhaps you are in a particular distress
He answers on a day of trouble
Perhaps you are in a situation of external peril
He protects you with His name
Perhaps you are in what seems to be an insumountable spiritual battle of forgiveness
He sends help from His sanctuary
He remembers your offering
He regards with favor your sacrifices
Perhaps you are burdened with a great need
He grants your hearts desire
He fulfills you plans and petitions
Perhaps you need a great miracle of salvation itself
He saves His anointed
Your prayers are not optional for your President, or whatever earthly government you find yourself under.
But we also find ourselves under the Government of God. Let’s use Ps20 to ASK of our good Lord for His good favor.
Let’s do our part to pray, If Ps 20 is true, perhaps He will answer us,
it may change every thing.
