Tuesday... I wonder what God is going to do through us and for us today. I wonder!


Tuesday... I wonder what God is going to do through us and for us today. I wonder!

Back in the book of Joshua in the OT, it tells of Joshua who was the leader of the People of Israel who were headed to what God said was the Promised Land. They were coming from Egypt and they had wandered through a wilderness for 40 years because of their not following God's plan for them. But now they were about to cross the Jordan River which was an impossible task because the water was flowing over its banks but Joshua said to them in Joshua 2:5 (NLT), "Purify yourselves for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you." 

Now could that be what God is wanting to say to us in this difficult task of living through a pandemic? Could this be a great opportunity to show that being a Christ follower is the only way to go through a pandemic? 

David in Psalm 36:1 (NLT) says, "Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all."

Joshua 4:23-24 (MSG) says, "Yes, God, your God, dried up the Jordan waters for you until you had crossed, just as God, your God did at the Red Sea, which had dried up before us until we had crossed. This was so that everybody would recognize how strong God's rescuing hand is and so that you would hold God in solemn reverence always."

Then Joshua 5:1 (MSG) says, "When all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and the Canaanite kings along the seacoast heard how God had stopped the Jordan River before the People of Israel had crossed over, their hearts sank; their courage drained out of them thinking about the People of Israel."

Could this be a time like that where God is using us during this pandemic to show who he is and he wants us to purify ourselves for tomorrow the Lord will do great wonders among us?"

Psalm 36:10-12 (NLT) says, "Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts. Don't let the proud trample me or push me around. Look! Those who do evil have fallen! They are thrown down, never to rise again."

You do make a difference, God! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
