Sunday... He knows what He is doing...


Sunday... He knows what He is doing. He really does.

The way He has organized our life is unbelievable. I mean He has put the years into months, the months into days, the days into hours and the hours into minuets. He has done all of that for us even though we blew up His plans in the beginning. And He knows what He is doing.

Now He knows what we need and Psalm 110:3b (NLT) shows that. It says, ". . . and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew." He knows what we need and He is actively involved in what we need.

With our days organized into 24 hours there is a set time for us to be awake being productive but in that time we get tired so He gave us a time to rest and then to start over with new strength for a new day and that is so encouraging to me.

He knows what I need and He knows what He is doing and He will give us new strength for each new day. Not strength for tomorrow but strength for today and then strength for tomorrow, tomorrow.

Now we live too many times in our tomorrows. I don't know if I can handle what I going through tomorrow. I am afraid at what is going to happen tomorrow. Have you heard what they are saying about tomorrow? I don't think I can make it. We don't have to make it in our tomorrows, but He gives us strength for today. He's out working on our tomorrows and He gives us direction and strength for today.

Thank You so much, God, for the simplicity of that fact. And thank You for the strength You have given me for today. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit?

Nehemiah 6:16b (NLT), "They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit? Over in the Old Testament in the book of Nehemiah it tells of a major task that through the leadership of Nehemiah was accomplished. The walls of Jerusalem had been torn down and God had laid it on Nehemiah to build those walls back up. It was definitely an almost impossible task but Nehemiah 6:15-16 says, "So on October 2 the wall was finished - just fifty-two days after we had begun. When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Now, we so many times want to take credit for doing the impossible. It would make such a difference for us. But I wonder what would happen through us if God got the credit? Psalm 96 tells us what we are to do. Verses 2-3 says, "Sing to the LORD; praise his name. ...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...

Thursday... Yet, now this is true.

Colossians 1:22a (NLT), "Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body." Thursday... Yet, now this is true. Now Paul a prisoner in Rome is writing a letter to a church in Colossae. And in Colossians 1:21 (MSG) he says, "Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds" The NLT says "This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated by your evil thoughts and actions." And that is where so many in this world live today. They are blowing it and they don't know what to do. Yes, they are hostile in their minds and they are engaging in evil deeds but there is Good News. Now Paul in verses 19-20 sets the stage for an answer to those who don't want to live that way. He says, "For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and earth b...
