Sunday... We must be worth far more than we think we are...


Sunday... We must be worth far more than we think we are.  And yes, we are and they are too!

Think of this. David asked the question in Psalm 144:3 (NLT), "O Lord, what are mere human beings that you should notice them, mere mortals that you should think about them?" I mean, He must see something in us far more than we see in us. After our first grumble we would be off and saying that they just aren't worth the effort. And all I can say is, I'm thankful that God is not like us.

The Bible is one big story about our worth to God. And of how grateful we should be that He hasn't thrown up His hands and said that we are just not worth the effort. But that is not the way He feels. We are worth the effort. That is what His love for us is all about.

Now you may have some in your circle of family or friends that you want to throw up your hands and say that they just aren't worth the effort but God says different. They are worth the effort. That is what love is all about, for better, for worse. 

Look at this, verse 2 says, "He is my loving ally and my fortress, my tower of safety, my rescuer. He is my shield, and I take refuge in him." And He wants us to be that to those He has put into our lives. And verse 1 says, "Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for the battle." Yes, people can be a battle but He wants to train us and equip us for the battle. 

The Message says, verse 3, "I wonder why you care, God - why do you bother with us at all?" But He does and He wants us to do the same. That is what true love, His love is all about. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... Each one of us see and describe what we are going through differently but... We each one have our own way of explaining what we are going through, don't we?  Some of us are maximisers, other are minimizers and neither one is better. We each one are different and we see what we are facing differently but no matter what it is and how you see it and describe it, God can handle it!  Now the writer of Psalm 46 shows the extremes. In verse 1 he states the basic reality and then he moves on into our fears and he maximizes them to make sure we really understand. Here is what Psalm 46:1-3 (NLT) says, "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!" So what do you fear? The Amplified Bible says verse 1 this way, "God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], a very presen...

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...

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...
