Wednesday... So, let's do it, let's do it as Christians and see what happens.

Psalm 133:1 (NIV) says, "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" The MESSAGE says, "How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along."

What could happen if we as God's people were unified during this time we are in? What could happen? What could God do if we lived out His purpose in unity?

Read the book of Exodus and see what happens when God's people are not in unity. It took them 40 years to get to see God's Promised Land. They could have had what God wanted for them but they complained even from the beginning. What could have happened? They lived in and many of them died in the wilderness instead of in the Promised Land.

This is such a difficult time for the church. It is so divided. "How wonderful, and how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along."

Exodus 6:6-9 (MSG), "'I am God. I will bring you out from under the cruel hard labor of Egypt. I will rescue you from slavery. I will redeem you, intervening with great acts of judgment. I'll take you as my own people and I'll be God to you. You'll know that I am God, your God who brings you out into the land that I promised to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and give it to you as your own country. I AM GOD.' But when Moses delivered this message to the Israelites, they didn't even hear him..."

It is so easy to have outside situations and outside voices divide us so that we don't even hear God. And that is Satan's plan. He knows what God wants to do through us so he strives to sidetrack us and divide us. Let's be unified in doing what God wants to do. We need to be on our knees praying that God would unify us to do what He wants.

Psalm 133:1 (NIV), "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" And then verse 3b, "For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore." And that is what we want, isn't it? Then, let's get together doing what God wants! 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...
