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...

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...

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together!

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together! They really do. And this is what caught my attention this morning as I was reading Proverbs 2. Verse 1 (NRSVUE) says, "My child, if you accept my words and treasure my commands within you." Verse 3 (NIV), "Indeed i f you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, Verse 4, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, Verse 5, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." And verses 9-11, " Then you will understand what is right and just and fair - every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." There will always be some effort we must do, some ifs for the thens to be realized in our lives. So many of us want to understand without the ifs. But the thens are so worth, so very worth the effort. Verses 5-6 in the Ampli...
