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... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
