Tuesday... He has given you wisdom in such matters...


Tuesday... He has given you wisdom in such matters. Yes He has. But are we using it?

I was reading this morning in Exodus 28 and I came upon this verse, verse 3 (NIV) and it said, "Tell the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration. so he may serve me as priest."

We hear a lot about Moses and his brother Aaron and their task to lead God's people from Egypt to the Promised Land. He had prepared them for the task even though Moses had some problems with believing that he had the ability to do the task. We read their story but we each one also have a story to tell. God has given each one of us wisdom to do what He has created us to do. Yes He has. And it's too bad when we have not lived out and developed the skill, the wisdom, the ability that God has placed within each one of us. But it is never too late to start.  

Psalm 139 goes into this matter with a little more detail. Verses 13-17 (NLT) says, "You made all the delicate inner parts of my body and knit it together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!"

You needed this today, didn't you? Life has its way of making us feel worthless and even a piece of junk but this is so important for you to see, God doesn't make junk! Don't let the lies of the world make you feel that way. Oh you may be off the path but you can get on it. And God can use what you have gone through to use you in a way that is greater than you can ever imagine.

A good place to start is verses 23 & 24. They say, "Search me O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." 

The Message says in verse 14, "I thank you, High God-you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made!" So let's go live out this creation by God called, you! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good.  The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
