Biblescopes for December 28, 2009

From the following scriptures: Psalms 28, 58, 88, 118, 148 & Proverbs 28

Today, the Lord will hear your prayer not leading you to a lie but away from it; pray to not be dragged away with the wicked. Instead turn them away and repay them with the same malice; we'll never know malice from the Lord but only grace & mercy. We are anointed and never will fear death. The Lord is the strength of His people. He is a fortress of salvation and our shield forever and ever.

Give all praise to God & sing to Him a new song. Praise for the Lord comes from the sun, moon, and stars. Praise Him in the storms. Praise God for He is our creator.

My heart trusts in the strength that is the Lord's. As our shepherd, He will carry us forever.

Evil people don't understand God's ways of justice but those who love the Lord understand completely. When justice rises against evil, evil prevails but, those who mislead righteousness will fall into their own trap.
The righteous when led down a wrong path are saved because of their love for the Heavenly Father.

Everyone of us make mistakes. Those who learn from their mistakes admit to God their human frailty. If we ignore warnings about sinful behavior and harden our hearts so as not to behave and respond to God's commands it is because one responds best out of rebellion.

Trust in the Lord and prosper. Walk in wisdom and you will be kept safe. Don't turn from the need of the poor but give to them and you will not lack anything. However, if you ignore their need you will have many curses to deal with on your own.

Have you ever felt you were born to lead? Think about these leadership characteristics: You are

• diligent in details;
• trustworthy; no gossip or back biting;
• live by & expect others to maintain a high level of integrity;;
• listen, then respond after prayerful consideration; listen to both sides of dispute;
  
• practice and utilize good listening skills; and
  
• handle adversity, praise, & glory equally

Now think on these wrong leadership skills and pray to have them replaced by God if they hinder your service to Him and the people you contact everyday: You:

• honor those who don't need recognition; they don't pay attention to business's mission statement;
• recognize wickedness in those in positions of leadership, pray for that person to have a conscience & become aware of the destruction they may be causing;
• if you have a wicked ruler in place over the people, pray and appeal to God to "turn the king's heart" toward the people, his or her wickedness is dangerous to the people;
• pray for those ruled over by an unfair and selfish ruler;
• when wicked people rule, the people despair at the abuse & broken promises by the wicked and unfair government;
• a wicked & selfish ruler has wicked officials, today they are called Czars.
