Wednesday... Then they will know, then I will know . . .


Wednesday ... Then they will know, then I will know.

I had a voice teacher when I was in high school who made a real difference in my life. The thing that was amazing about him was that in trying to teach me something about my voice, he could say the same thing so different ways until I understood what He was saying, what he was meaning. 

We each one are different. As a parent each one of our children are different and it is so important for us to understand them, really know them in order to teach them. Saying what we are wanting them to learn cannot be said in the same way because each one of them learns in a different way because God created them a unique individuals. That is why we need to spend time with them in order to really know them. in order to teach them.

I am reading in the Old Testament book of Ezekiel and I came upon this sentence at the end of Chapter 6. The last part of verse 14 (NLT) says, "Then they will know that I am the Lord." 

We are all different and what works for one doesn't work for another. Now God created us and He knows us and He loves us and He wants us to know Him, to really know Him so He uses different situations to show us that He is the Lord.

Now we look at our life and something happens and we wonder why it happened. Well, maybe it is one of God's ways to show us that He is the Lord. A pandemic for some would be a way. Distress and trouble could be a way. A very good job could be a way. Being married or being single could be different ways for someone to know that He is the Lord. He will use whatever way He can to get us to know that He is the Lord.

It is so important for you to see that He is striving to get to you so you will know Him. Has it worked? Do you really know Him or does He need to use a different way. Now for some of you whatever has happened in your life has not worked but He will keep trying because He really, really does love you and He wants you to really, really know Him because that will make all the difference in your life.

So step back and look at what you are going through. Could it be that God is striving to show you that He is the Lord? "Then they will know." So stop and learn the fact that "I am the Lord." 

"Then they will know that I am the Lord." 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 ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
