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

Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit?

Nehemiah 6:16b (NLT), "They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit? Over in the Old Testament in the book of Nehemiah it tells of a major task that through the leadership of Nehemiah was accomplished. The walls of Jerusalem had been torn down and God had laid it on Nehemiah to build those walls back up. It was definitely an almost impossible task but Nehemiah 6:15-16 says, "So on October 2 the wall was finished - just fifty-two days after we had begun. When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Now, we so many times want to take credit for doing the impossible. It would make such a difference for us. But I wonder what would happen through us if God got the credit? Psalm 96 tells us what we are to do. Verses 2-3 says, "Sing to the LORD; praise his name. ...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...

Thursday... Yet, now this is true.

Colossians 1:22a (NLT), "Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body." Thursday... Yet, now this is true. Now Paul a prisoner in Rome is writing a letter to a church in Colossae. And in Colossians 1:21 (MSG) he says, "Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds, engaging in evil deeds" The NLT says "This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated by your evil thoughts and actions." And that is where so many in this world live today. They are blowing it and they don't know what to do. Yes, they are hostile in their minds and they are engaging in evil deeds but there is Good News. Now Paul in verses 19-20 sets the stage for an answer to those who don't want to live that way. He says, "For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and earth b...
