Sunday... What if we really did this...

Sunday... There are so many things that we say we will do but what if we really did this?

Psalm 89:1 (NIRV), "Lord, I will sing about your love forever. For all time to come, I will tell how faithful you are. I will tell everyone that your love stands firm forever. I will tell them that you are always faithful, even in heaven itself."

And this is a great time to tell it. Oh, I know, there is so much that is happening that doesn't seem to show He loves us but He does. Look for it in each day. See the good He is doing in your life. Even the difficulties that are happening must go through His love and turned into good. He will never allow anything to happen to those who follow Him that doesn't first go though His love.

Now the Psalmist continues, verses 3 & 4 (NLT) says, "The Lord says, 'I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant. I have sword this oath to him: '"I will establish your descendants as kings forever, they will sit on your throne from now until eternity."'"

But then over in verses 30-35, "But if his descendants forsake my instructions and fail to obey my regulations, if they do not obey my degrees and fail to keep my commands, then I will punish their sin with the rod and their disobedience with beating. But I will never stop loving him. No I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said. I have sworn and oath to David, and in my holiness I cannot lie."

He will be faithful but we also must be faithful to Him. There will always be consequences for our turning our back on Him. Now God is also faithful to those who have turned our backs to Him. He sent His Son to die for us, to take care of our sin, to take the punishment for our sin but we must turn back to Him and live for Him to have the benefit of His love.

He loves you, He really does. What if we would share that love by also being faithful and showing and sharing His love to others? What a difference it would make! 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...
