Tuesday... Here are some thoughts that really make sense...


Tuesday... Here are some thoughts that really make sense to be.

Here is the first one, Psalm 16:2 (MSG), "I say to God, 'Be my Lord!' Without you, nothing makes sense." And that is so true. I mean, the idea that all of this in life is just happening doesn't make sense to me. But a God who is looking and is watching and is leading and who has a plan, now that makes sense to me. It really does. And I want Him to be my Lord!

Here's another one, verses 5 - 6, "My choice is you, God, first and only." Now that is being smart and it really makes sense to choose God. It really does. But here is something I'm not sure makes sense but I'm so glad that it is true, "And now I find I'm your choice." It doesn't really make sense that He chooses us but He does and I'm so glad.

Look at this one, verses 7 & 8, "The wise counsel God gives when I'm awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart." Now that makes sense. And then, "Day and night I'll stick with God;" And I love this and it really does make sense, "I've got a good thing going and I'm not letting go." That is so true. In no way does it make sense to let go of what I've got. God is in my life making a difference every day. He's leading me, He's  guiding me, He's protecting me. I'm not going to let go. That wouldn't make sense, would it?

And then verse 11, "Now you've got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand. I'm on the right way." And "without you, nothing makes sense." And that is so true! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

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 ...
