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... 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...

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless.

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless.  It really can. I have found that unless I give the correct email of my wife then I can't get what I wanted. I put an extra i in her email and I have been working for 5 days to get it changed. Unless has been useless. The writer of Psalm 94 uses this word and shows how important it is. Verses 17-19 (NLT) says, "Unless the Lord had helped me, I would have soon settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, 'I'm slipping!' but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer." "Unless the Lord had helped me." So many people go on and on and on striving to live their life on their own but they keep slipping and doubting and living without hope and cheer. Yes the Lord has such unfailing love for us, he really does but unless we have a relationship with him and we turn to him and ask him for help then the unless turns in to useless because h...
