Morning Mercies by Michael Mullen Michael Mullen

Some times it seems as if the whole world is arrayed against us. It may also seem that in our troubles God is no where to be seen. Conflict is unavoidable, and we are facing it alone. But are we? David answers this question in Psalm 60, and it is good news for us who have committed our lives to rusting Christ. If you would like to hear more, check out the latest podcast on Psalm 60 from Morning Mercies, now available on all major platforms. 
The Daily Psalms are given with the intention to encourage Christians to read and meditate on these scriptures in order to grow in their faith and relationship with God. They are released every Tuesday and Thursday for the following week on all major Podcast platforms. May the Lord bless you as you ponder His Word.

In the church through the ages, there has been a quiet consensus that without places of solitude in our lives we cannot live a life of prayer, or by extension, the Spiritual life at all. By solitude what is meant is a time and place alone for God, and God alone. If we are agreed and believe that what God has called us to is a personal relationship with Him, without time to speak with and listen to him that relationship will wither. That is the nature of all relationships, and even more so with Him. If we believe that God is involved in our lives, actively present, then we need a place and time to be attentive to our LORD on a daily basis. 

This week continues a  series on prayer designed to lead us closer to Christ, As we begin, we ask the Lord to "teach us to pray." It is our first prayer, our beginning. Taken from Luke 11.1, it is a prayer of desire, our desire for Him. This episode also looks at  Matthew 6 that of our need of finding a private place for prayer, where we can be alone with the Father.
 
 Morning Mercies is a podcast dedicated to the deepening of trust with God, our maker, through a relationship with Jesus Christ. He has become our Master, our teacher, and so we follow Him with our lives, be they what they are. They are brief, and  follow the simple format of scripture, meditation, and prayer.
 
 Morning Mercies are posted several times a week on all major podcast platforms, and are presented by Michael Mullen.

But I will sing of your strength;
     I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
 For you have been to me a fortress
     and a refuge in the day of my distress.
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
     for you, O God, are my fortress,
     the God who shows me steadfast love.

what happens when mankind, or an individual forgets who they are and assume they are "gods"? It may sound crazy, but it happens all the time, and is everywhere to be seen. When a person says they are accountable to no one, and make themselves lord over their ways of living, and their decisions, they are according to the Bible, corrupt. Psalm 58 gives us some direction in how to pray when confronted with such people. If you would like to know more, check out the new posting in the Daily Psalms of Morning Mercies.

 So often when we are younger, we see life as a filling up. We must get a job. We want to secure for ourselves a place in society. We want to find a spouse, and a place to live. There is nothing wrong with any of these, but we tend to define our lives by these things and relationships. We see ourselves in terms of what we have....Life is not about what we get, but what we have given away in love to others. To be “poured out as a libation” is to find the good life, by letting your life be used by God, and watching it be emptied out in the service of others. Life is not about getting, but about giving. 

In remembrance of those who once prayed for us, but who're now in heaven, we look to the word to shape our prayer. 

Morning Mercies is a podcast presented by Michael Mullen, Former Pastor of Adelanto Foursquare Church. These podcasts are presented weekly on all major podcast platforms.

The prayer in Psalm 57 is centered on theGlory of God. The glory of God is virtually impossible to define. In a sense, God’s glory is the magnificence, worth, loveliness, and grandeur of his many perfections. More often, glory communicates God’s special presence, as in the pillars of glory and of fire (Exod. 13:21–22) or the glory that filled the tabernacle (40:34–38). The triune God who is glorious displays his glory, largely through his creation, image-bearers, providence, and redemptive acts. God’s people respond by glorifying him. God receives glory and, through uniting his people to Christ, shares his glory with them—all to his glory.
