Saturday... He knows what He is doing...


Saturday... I know, I know, we wonder what is happening but God, yes, our God, the God we serve, knows what He is doing. Yes, he does!

Daniel over in his book in the OT of the Bible sends us a reminder of that fact. And we need a reminder in this time in which we are living, don't we? 

Daniel 2:20-23 (MSG) says, "Blessed be the name of God, forever and ever." Ours is not the first situation that God has faced. "He knows all, does all." I rest my case.

Daniel goes on, "He changes the seasons and guides history, He raises up kings and also brings them down." I wonder if He had a hand in our election?  "He provides both intelligence and discernment, He opens up the depths, tells secrets, sees in the dark-light spills out to Him!" Where do you think all that we know comes from? Where do you think the intelligence we have to fight this virus comes from? 

Daniel continues, "God of all my ancestors, all thanks! all praise!" And that's another reminder. Let's thank Him for what He is doing, what He has done. "You made me wise and strong. And now you've shown us what we asked for. You solved the king's mystery." 

God knows what He is doing. And let's praise Him and thank Him for what He is doing. "He knows all, does all" and He make us wise and strong. Let's praise Him and thank Him for what He is doing! 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...

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 ...
