Tuesday... Let me introduce you . . .

Tuesday... Let me introduce you is something we all need to have done.

We have been in this time of pandemic for a year. And we have changed, haven't we? Who we are in times of normal is different from times of trouble. We are either bitter or better. It is all depends upon how we have responded to what we have gone through. Are you in anyway surprised at how you have responded? Do we need to be introduced to the new us?

Now the same can be said of our view of God. If we have become bitter then our view of God has probably changed and that for sure has affected our view of what we have been going through and who we have become.

Well, there is a verse in Psalm 46 that tells us what we can do if we really want to know who God really is. Verse 10 (AMP) says, "Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God." So we need to stop and be quiet and think and be introduced to the real God.

Think back on what has happened in your life in these 12 months. Can you see God in there? Can you see His hand on you? His strength in you, His love for you? Or are you angry and bitter and disappointed and still afraid? Have you maybe viewed yourself as God? Maybe you have become judgmental and deeply frustrated? Well let me introduce you to the real God?

He has been with you through all of this and He wants to help you in seeing that. He wants to help you recognize who He is in the pandemic and He wants to help you understand how He has been working and moving and leading and strengthening. Let's just be still and know who God is and how much He loves us.

So, "Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God" and see what a difference that will make in how you view who you are and what your life is all about. Let me introduce you to the real God. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good. The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
