Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #24 (Worship). June 30, 2012

Hello dear friends! Warm, very warm, no, really it's HOT greetings from sunny South Carolina! This week's devotion reminds us of what happens when we choose to focus upon the character of God: we are reminded of His goodness and His greatness. As we live in uncertain times, its good to know that His goodness and greatness remains the same.

Worship Him!

Denny


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #24

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 4 How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You To dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. 5 By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, O God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest sea; 6 Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Being girded with might; 7 Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. 8 They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. Psalm 65:4-8

Core Value: Worship

Do you remember praying this simple prayer as a child? “God is good. God is great. Let us thank Him for our food. Amen.” For me, as I folded my little hands and closed my eyes, it was a memorized prayer that became a routine part of my every meal. After awhile the words I was praying lost their impact upon me. This sweet prayer became a religious duty instead of a heartfelt prayer of gratitude and thanksgiving. This familiar example is one of many I share on how easy it is for the believer to lose the magnitude of what we are saying out loud. In this case, GOD IS GOOD. GOD IS GREAT. WE SHOULD THANK HIM FOR EVERYTHING HE PROVIDES to us.

This is what the Psalmist does in this portion of Scripture. As He describes the goodness and greatness of God, he becomes overwhelmed with waves of worship. The more He talks about the goodness and greatness of God, the more his heart fills up and the more he has share about the goodness and greatness of God. This is what happens when we set our focus upon the character of God: we become personally acquainted with His goodness and greatness, filling our hearts with expressions of worship.

Principle #24 & Personal Application: Quality disciples are blessed as they worship a great, awesome, and mighty God.

• We worship God because of His drawing us, by grace, into His presence.

• We worship God because of His awesome deeds.

• We worship God because of His majestic power and glory.

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

When I begin to set my focus upon the Lord and His power, what kinds of thoughts come to my mind?

What kind of things can I do that will help me worship God for who He is?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are a mighty and glorious Savior. You invite me into Your presence. You satisfy my soul. You are the God of all creation and I am in awe of You. And powerful and mighty You are, You love me; You value me; You call me Your very own.

Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #23 (Prayer) June 23, 2012

Hello my dear friends! It's great to connect with you again. This week's Psalms of Discipleship points us to one of the great truths of the Bible: Prayer is the tool provided for us to connect with the only One who can help us.

Praying for you. Thanks for praying for me.

Denny


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #23

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; Preserve my life from dread of the enemy. 2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of those who do iniquity, 3 Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrow, Psalm 64:1-3

Core Value: Prayer

Most everyone I know has a cell phone. You see people walking, talking, listening, texting, and viewing their screens almost all the time. Cell phone users are a unique tribe of people: blue tooth, long in the tooth, the cell phone phenomenon has changed our culture when it comes to communication. It seems we are always communicating . . . until the coverage drops or the battery dies and the communication comes to an abrupt end.

Fortunately for the disciple of Jesus, we are on an unlimited data plan that has been fully funded by His sacrifice on the cross. We have been given access to the Father through the Son so that we may communicate to Him the concerns of our heart. When the enemies of our soul surround us, He is only a call away. As an old song stated, “Information. Give me Jesus on the line.” #911

Principle #23 & Personal Application: Quality disciples place their trust in the Lord when words of slander are used against them.

Note that David did not ask the Lord to change His circumstances but asked for God’s help in the midst of them. What did David do? He prayed. He asked the Lord to . . .

• Hear his voice

• Preserve his life

• Hide him from his vicious enemies

When our enemy attacks, he usually does so with vengeance: Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 (NASB95)

When our enemy attacks, we must be aware of his schemes: so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes. 2 Corinthians 2:11 (NASB95)

When our enemy attacks, he will accuse us and want us to forget our place, our position in Christ: Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. Revelation 12:10 (NASB95)

When our enemy attacks, sometimes he will use the words of others to bring harm to us: "Their tongue is a deadly arrow; It speaks deceit; With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, But inwardly he sets an ambush for him. Jeremiah 9:8 (NASB95)

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

When I feel I am under spiritual attack, what does this Psalm teach me to do?

I know what it feels like when hurtful words are used against me. What can I do to control my tongue from hurting others?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, when I am under attack, keep me ever mindful of my need to place my fears and concerns upon You. Keep me alert to pray. Keep me close to You. Keep me safe. Keep me.

Rooted and Grounded in Love (Ephesians 3:17)

Psalms of Discipleship, Principle #22 (Grace) June 9, 2012

Hello my dear friends! Have you ever felt like you were grasping onto the last straw and when it breaks (and it most likely will) you will fall into an abyss of hopelessness and despair? If that resonates with you, you are not alone. Many believers today are facing challenging circumstances with frayed relationships, uncertain financial times, and an unending assault upon the truth. What is a disciple of Jesus to do? We can look to the example of the Psalmist and refocus our mind upon the Good Shepherd of the Psalms.

Clinging to Him,

Denny

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #22

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 6 When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches, 7 For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy. 8 My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me. Psalm 63:6-8

Core Value: Grace

One of the greatest challenges that face the disciple of Jesus is the battle that lies in the mind. It is in the mind where spiritual battles are either won or lost. There is always the constant tension to believe the truth and live it out or to embrace the lie and be bound up in it.

The best way, the only way, to win the battle for the mind is to focus it upon the Lord. This does not come easily. It takes a strong will. It requires a choice. But when we do make the choice to focus our thoughts upon the Lord, the truth of His promise becomes crystal clear: We see that He is our help. We will have a song of joy. And we will cling to Him as He holds us up.

Principle #22 & Personal Application: Quality disciples experience the mysterious tension of doing their part as God does His.

• Disciples of Jesus are to keep their focus upon the Lord: “When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches”

• Disciples of Jesus are to remember the faithfulness of God: “For You have been my help”

• Disciples of Jesus are to experience His presence and respond with joy: “And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy”

• Disciples of Jesus do their part and Jesus does His: “My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me”

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

What kinds of spiritual disciplines (habits) I can practice that will cultivate a more focused meditation upon the Lord?

What circumstance am I facing today where I sense my soul is clinging to the Lord? How does this Scripture describe God’s part in helping me cope with my circumstance?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, may You always remind me of Your faithfulness to me. Help me remember those sweet times of when I experienced Your touch. May I always remember that You have been my help, even during the dark times. May I always be comforted by Your presence as I sing for joy to You. And may I remember to do my part (cling to You, by grace) as I behold Your keeping power of Your right hand.

Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #21 (Worship) June 3, 2012

Hello my dear friends! Grace to you this day. Are you "thirsty" and where do you go to quench that thirst? The Psalmist allows us to listen in on his conversation with the only One who has the power to quench his thirst. Listen carefully as we discover the "how."

Refreshed by Living Water,

Denny

P.S. At the end of this week's devotional, is a prayer update. Thanks for taking the time to read it.

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #21

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 1 O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2 Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. 3 Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. 4 So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. Psalm 63:1-4

Core Value: Worship

Eleven times in these four verses the word “You” or “Your” is mentioned. It is pretty apparent that the Psalmist has His focus upon the Lord. This is an ultimate, unchanging principle of worship in the most simplest of terms: what I choose to focus my mind upon is what I am going to worship.

Conversely, eight times the Psalmist refers to himself with the words, “my” or “I.” Now, be sure to catch this: Each time he refers to himself, it is always in the context of submission to God. This is the beauty of worship. The Lord did not create us as mindless robots with no will. God took the risk and gave us “free will” to love and worship Him freely.

And this is what God’s love does to us: His love has overcome our hearts with spiritual thirst. And we, with gratitude, freely worship Him.

Principle #21 & Personal Application: Quality disciples cultivate a spiritual thirst that only the Lord can satisfy.

A heart that is thirsty for the Lord will experience several things:

• A thirsty heart will seek God earnestly.

• A thirsty heart will have a soul that yearns for the Lord.

• A thirsty heart will be aware of God’s power and glory.

• A thirsty heart will be satisfied because of God’s lovingkindness and mercy.

• A thirsty heart will worship and praise God with one’s lips and with one’s hands.

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

When I am spiritually thirsty, where do I go to quench my thirst?

What practical things can I do that will enhance my thirst for the Lord?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are my God! By Your grace, I desire to seek You earnestly. May my soul always thirst for You and for You alone. May I experience Your power and glory. May I be the recipient of your mercy. May I always offer you praise and worship with my lips and with my hands.

One Week Later on the Journey:

I want to thank all of my Psalms of Discipleship friends for your kind words and heart-felt encouragement. I have been overwhelmed by many friends like you with inspirational notes, phone calls, text messages, and occasional hugs this past week. The best way I can compare the experience of this week is living long enough to hear all of the testimonials of my funeral before I die. Your love and encouragement have taken away the sting of last week’s announcement. I really am doing okay and at peace, knowing that my Father will not only give me direction but also provide for my every need.

I am genuinely excited for the opportunity of doing things that I have only dreamed about previously. By God’s grace I hope to build a leadership coaching and speaking business and impact the market place for Jesus. My business is a RELATIONSHIP business, so as you pray for me ask the Lord for KEY contacts that will lead me to KEY people in KEY organizations. In your own circle of influence, do you know anyone who desires to grow in leadership? I’d love to meet them.

The Lord has a good plan in all of this. He is amazing in how He takes the hard things and brings good things to His kids (Romans 8:28). As you pray for me, I am also praying for you. May He grant each one of us a renewed sense of our love for Him and love for each other.

Leading with Quality in mind,

Denny Bates

Psalms of Discipleship. Principle #20 (Prayer). May 26, 2012

Hello my dear friends! I hope you are finding the joy of the Lord to be your strength today. His joy is the juice that fuels our soul when we become weary in the journey. I've had a week like that. I'm walking through the churned up waters of career transition but here is what I have discovered to be true: I can trust in Him at all times. I can pour out my heart before Him. He is a refuge for me. . . . and if you are a disciple of Jesus, the same rings true with you too.

Learning to abide in His presence and care,

Denny


Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #20

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah. Psalm 62:8

Core Value: Prayer

What comes first? Is it the chicken or the egg?

This saying has puzzled many for a long, long time. In the final analysis, does it really matter? Both the chicken and the egg are forever intertwined. Next question: what comes first? prayer to the Lord or trust in the Lord? In order for us to have meaningful times of prayer to the Lord, we must trust in Him too. And in order for us to place our trust in Him, we need to be about the business of prayer. Both trust and prayer are essential for the disciple of Jesus.

Wherever one starts, prayer and trust lead to the same destination: a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus.

Principle #20 & Personal Application: Quality disciples trust in the Lord at all times.

• Prayer is the way we can place our trust in the Lord. “Trust in Him at all times, O people.”

• Prayer is the way we can make a full commitment to the Lord. “Pour out your heart before Him.”

• Prayer is the way where we can find that safe place that is found only in the Lord. “God is a refuge for us. Selah.”

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

What kinds of promises does this verse have for the person who feels anxious?

If I really applied the truths behind this scripture, how would it impact the way I pray?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, by Your grace, help me to place my trust in You at all times. May I have the freedom to pour out my heart before You. Thank You that in You I can find a refuge, a place of safety.

Psalms of Discipleship (Grace) Principles #18 & #19. May 19, 2012

Hello my dear friends! I trust that your soul is resting in the bosom of its greatest lover: the Lord Jesus. We live in a day and time where the distractions to our spiritual growth is challenged by lots of noise and chaotic circumstances. It is natural to be anxious, to be fearful, to be doubtful in the world in which we live. Because of grace, we can live a super-natural life that will free our soul from the things that seek to enslave our soul. The psalmist addresses the goal for the soul of the disciple of Jesus. May His grace grant us peace as we learn to teach our soul to "wait in silence" for God.

Learning with you,

Denny

P.S. Last week I took a week's vacation to restore my soul. For the most part, it worked. Now, back to writing. This week's Psalms of Discipleship includes TWO devotions (last week and this week). Thanks to all of you who take time to read Psalms of Discipleship and respond in faith to what the Lord impresses you to do as you follow the Shepherd of the Psalms.

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #18

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 1 My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. 2 He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. Psalm 62:1-2

Core Value: Grace

There comes a desperate time in the life journey of the disciple of Jesus that enough is enough. For some, it seems that the harder we work for those pockets of solitude, the harder the work becomes. For some of us, an inner chaos within the soul has become the spiritual drug of choice. If rest, a quiet silence in the soul stared us in the face, we might not know what to do with it.

This is where grace comes in. Rightly applied, grace allows us to do something we cannot do in our own strength: to wait in silence for God only. Grace allows us to trust, to wait, to be filled with hope and to be empowered by His strength.

Principle #18 & Personal Application: Quality disciples seek to rest in the finished work of Christ.

• Grace allows a weary soul to wait in silence for God only. Grace helps us take a deep breath and rest in Him. “My soul waits in silence for God only.”

• Grace allows a weary soul to experience God’s salvation. Grace points us to the source of our salvation. “From Him is my salvation.”

• Grace allows a weary soul to confess God as one’s Rock and one’s salvation. Grace fills our heart with the uplifting truth that God is our rock and our salvation. “He only is my rock and my salvation.”

• Grace allows a weary soul to find in God a stronghold, a place of security. Grace leads us to His protection. “My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken.”

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

When my life becomes rushed and filled with anxiety, what kinds of promises can I glean from this Psalm?

According to this passage of Scripture, how does a proper understanding of grace help me to live my life as a quality disciple of Jesus?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, I thank You that my soul can wait in silence for God and for Him alone. I thank You that You are the source of my salvation, and no other. I thank You for being my rock and my salvation. I am grateful to You that because You are my stronghold, I will not be greatly shaken.

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #19

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 5 My soul, wait in silence for God only, For my hope is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be shaken. 7 On God my salvation and my glory rest; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Psalm 62:5-7

Core Value: Grace

Here it is again: the theme of waiting in silence for God only. Those of us who are disciples of Jesus know most of the “right” answers but may find the practical application of the truth to be a constant frustration. In this case, the right answer is to have a soul that is not a slave to chaotic circumstances. It is to have a soul that is well trained and not allow anyone or anything to dampen its focus upon God and Him alone. This sounds wonderful, but how?

Once again, grace is the key that gives our soul its proper maintenance. Grace opens up the eyes of the soul to behold the Lord’s gracious provision for us. Because of grace we see hope, we see the Rock of our salvation and our strength, we see our Stronghold who keeps us from being shaken, we see our Refuge. The better we can see through the lens of grace, the easier it becomes to have our soul wait in silence for God only.

Principle #19 & Personal Application: Quality disciples have learned the art of soul care by slowing down the hectic pace of life and finding the spiritual rhythms of life.

• Grace applied allows us to slow down the hurry of the heart and lets the soul wait in silence for God only.

• Grace applied allows us to experience hope from the Lord.

• Grace applied allows us to experience God as our rock and our salvation.

• Grace applied allows us to experience God as our stronghold, the rock of our strength, and our refuge.

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

When I feel hurried in my soul, what can I do to slow down and rest in God?

According to the Psalm, what characteristics of God can I meditate on when I feel uneasy and restless?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, by faith and by Your grace, may my soul rest in silence for You. My hope is from You. You only are my rock and my salvation. You are my stronghold and I will never be shaken. On You my salvation and my glory rest. You are the rock of my strength. My refuge is in You.

Psalms of Discipleship (Grace) Principle #17. May 5, 2012

Hello my dear friends! Today's Psalms of Discipleship is a timely reminder of how important the choices are that we make every day. Good choices most always lead to a good outcome. Poor choices usually produce the kind of result that leads to regret.

Do you feel any kind of undue pressure to make good choices all of the time? Perhaps, the grace of God will help you do the best you can and then leave the results to His Sovereign love and care for you.

Growing in grace,

Denny

Psalms of Discipleship—Principle #17

Life Principles For Those Who Choose To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life

Key Scripture: 3 For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy. 4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah. Psalm 61:3-4

Core Value: Grace

Choices. We make them (or don’t make them) every day. Some of the choices we make are founded upon a solid confidence that we are making the right choice at the right time and in the right way. These are the choices of confidence or courage.

On the other hand we may make choices that are based upon a paralyzing fear: “What if it is the wrong choice? What if I cannot control the consequences of my choice? What if . . .” These are the choices of doubt and fear. The person who has cultivated a habit of making choices based upon fear have set in motion a way of life where is no protection and no peace. Consequently, this person becomes a victim of their choices.

In contrast, because of grace that is applied, the Quality Disciple of Jesus chooses to throw his or her full weight upon the Lord’s ability (and promise) to care for them.

Principle #17 & Personal Application: Quality disciples find a safe refuge in the Lord.

Because of the grace of God, the disciple can experience the Lord’s protection and care, and say . . .

• The Lord has been a refuge for me.

• The Lord has been a tower of strength against the enemy.

• The Lord allows me to dwell in His tent forever.

• The Lord allows me to take refuge in the shelter of His wings.

Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…

What does it “feel” like when I sense the Lord’s protection upon my life? What kinds of emotions fill my heart when I feel safe?

How does the grace of God remind me of the love of God?

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You are a refuge for me. You are a tower of strength against the enemies of my soul. My heart cry is that You will allow me to dwell in Your tent forever. My desire is that You will allow me to take refuge and find protection and care in the shelter of Your wings.
