Sunday... Have you come up with a way to live your life, something that shows you the way?


Sunday... Have you come up with a way to live your life, something that shows you the way through the difficulties of life?

I am reading in my mornings in the book of Numbers. It is one of the first five book in the Bible and it was written by Moses. It tells of a group of people and their travels though their life. Right now I am reading about 12 different tribes who are headed to a place none of them have been to and they have no maps, they have no roads but they are striving to follow God and his plan but they also don't have a Bible. Their leader Moses is writing his part in the Bible, the first five books but God is still leading them if they follow him.

Now each of these 12 tribes had a leader and each of those leaders followed one leader who was in direct contact with God. There would have been no way they could have made it to where God wanted them to go if they didn't follow this plan and that is why it took so long for them to make it because they at different times set out to follow their own plan something like what we as a nation and as individuals are doing in this time we are living in.

In the first few years God set up a way to lead them. Numbers 9:17-18 (NLT) says, "Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people would break camp and follow it. And whenever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp. In this way, they traveled and camped wherever he told them to go."

Verse 23 says, "So they camped or traveled at the Lord's command, and they did whatever the Lord told them through Moses." What that means to us in the day we are living is that we follow whatever the Lord says though his Word, the Bible. He has a plan for all of us. He wants to lead us and protect if we seek after him and call out to him.

Psalm 34:6 (MSG) says, "When I was desperate, I called out, and God got me out of a tight spot. God's angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray. Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see-how good God is. Blessed are you who run to him." And then verse 15, "God keeps an eye on his friends, his ears pick up every moan and groan. God won't put up with rebels; he'll cull them from the pack. Is anyone crying for help? God is listening, ready to rescue you."

He has a plan. Let him lead you, let him guide you, he knows the way, he has a plan. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good.  The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
