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

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...
