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

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...

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...
