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... Yes, we need them. We really do

Psalm 8:3-4 (NLT), "When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and the stars you set in place - what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?" Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do. No, not the fact that I can go out my front door and look out at night at the marvels of the sky. I can do that and it is amazing and it takes my breath away each time I see it. Yes, that is a fact but the reality of who did that and the wisdom and the faith that I have to believe that and to marvel that the one who did that cares about me makes such a difference in how I live my life. Yes, God really does. That is so wonderful for us to believe. And that is why faith and wisdom are so important. Now whatever belief you have at how that marvel happened must also be believed through faith. And the sad thing to me is that more and more people have been taught that there is no God and therefore he did not have a h...

Tuesday... Each one of us see and describe what we are going through differently but... We each one have our own way of explaining what we are going through, don't we? Some of us are maximisers, other are minimizers and neither one is better. We each one are different and we see what we are facing differently but no matter what it is and how you see it and describe it, God can handle it! Now the writer of Psalm 46 shows the extremes. In verse 1 he states the basic reality and then he moves on into our fears and he maximizes them to make sure we really understand. Here is what Psalm 46:1-3 (NLT) says, "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!" So what do you fear? The Amplified Bible says verse 1 this way, "God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], a very presen...

Wednesday... It didn't just happen.

Psalm 16;10 (NLT), "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." Wednesday... It didn't just happen. We are headed into a weekend of deep emotion. One that we really really love was killed and it didn't just happen. David in Psalm 16:10 (NLT) writes of this happening. He says about God, "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." We read over in the Gospels at the beginning of the New Testament in the Bible of the life of God's Son who came to earth to be our sacrifice so that our soul would not be left among the dead. Jesus came so that we wouldn't have to be buried at death and just left there. But he also shares that Jesus who was going to be killed as a sacrifice for our sins would not have to rot in a grave. David many generations before foretold this and that is what happened. Now that had to be a God thing. We can guess a lot about our future and we d...
