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

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 ...
