Saturday... He emphasizes through repetition...


Saturday... The writer of Psalm 136 emphasizes something that we need to hear and something we need to do and he does it through repetition.

Verses 1-3 (NLT) say, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His faithful love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His faithful love endures forever." And then verse 26 says, "Give thanks to the God of heaven. His faithful love endures forever."

Yes, He is good, yes, He is the God of gods, yes, He is the Lord of lords, yes, He is the God of heaven and yes, we need to remember that. There is no other other. He is it, He is the One we serve and He is the One  who faithfully loves us and we need to repeat that in our hearts and minds each and everyday we live. 

And we are to thank Him. Over and over we need to show how thankful we are for a God such as this who faithfully loves us, who takes care of us and for what He has done and for Who He is. That is the way we need to start each day. There is no other like Him and He faithfully loves us. He does. Thank Him.

Verse 4 says, "Give thanks to him who alone does mighty miracles. His faithful love endures forever." There is no one like that in the world we live in today except God. There are some mighty people out there but not mightier than God and no way does their love endure. Just do something they don't like and see what happens. 

Here's another one, verse 23 says, "He remembers us in our weakness. His faithful love endures forever." He still loves us even when we blow it even when our weakness shows up.  

I don't know where you are today, but He does. He knows what you are going through and you can know that His faithful love for you is still there. He has not forgotten you, He remembers you and He is the God of gods, the Lord of lords, the God of heaven and He is good and He does mighty miracles and His love for you will endure forever. You can count on that. 

So thank Him and believe Him and love Him back. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

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 ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
