Friday... We have moved from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado...

Friday... We have this month moved from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to the desert of Nevada. In the mountains of Colorado, you see the rocks, they are right there but here in the desert, you don't see them, but they are also there. Just below the surface there is a sedimentary rock, it is a hardened natural cement of calcium carbonate that binds other materials-such as gravel, sand, clay and silt. It is called caliche. 
In Psalm 18:1&2 (NLT) David says, "I love you Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior. The Lord is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety." The story behind this Psalm is that David sang this song to the Lord on the day the Lord rescued him from his enemies and from King Saul who was trying to kill him. 
Now you don't really know about caliche until you start digging. You don't really know sometimes that God is your rock until you start digging. This pandemic is one of those times, not having enough money to live on is one of those times, when relationships are falling apart is one of those times, when you can't go to church is one of those times, when you think you may have the virus or someone you love has the virus is one of those times, but God is with you and He wants to be your rock and your protection and strength but you may have to dig through all of the pains and fears and anxieties to find that He is your rock. He is there and He wants to be your rock. 
So start digging in His Word, start digging for Him through prayer, start digging by calling upon Him and believing in Him and trusting Him! He wants to be your rock! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

Friday... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...
