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

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 ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
