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

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...

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...

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...
