Sunday... Yes, there is so much we have learned.


Sunday... Yes, there is so much we have learned.  And there is so much for us to share. It doesn't just stop with learning, does it?

Psalm 78:1-3 (NLT), "O my people, listen to my instructions. Open your ears to what I am saying, for I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past - stories we have heard and known. stories our ancestors handed down to us."

There is so much to learn, isn't there? We never stop learning. The Psalmist here in Psalm 78 goes on to tell the stories of the Children of Israel up through David and strives to teach the lessons of their past. And there are lessons to learn. 

Have you learned from your past or do you just keep making the same mistakes over and over. Yes, we must learn and grow from our experience but also the experiences of others, especially from the stories of the Bible. God has written the Bible for a purpose but if we don't read it and learn from it then we have wasted a great opportunity and a great privilege. A good thing to pray is for God to open our ears to hear His instructions, to hear what He wants to tell us.

But there is more. Verses 4-5, "We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders." That is so important to do.

Yes we are to teach our children the Bible, to let them know what it says and what is expected of us but there is more. We must never waste what God teaches us through our experiences. God shows His power and His mighty wonders not only for us personally but also for us to share with others, especially our children, our family.  

This is an important link in spreading the Good News through out our generations. Read the Bible to your kinds, to your grandkids. Share with them what it means to you and how your relationship with God has made such a difference in you life.

Verse 7, "So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands." Verse 8, "Then they will not be like their ancestors - stubborn, rebellious and unfaithful, refusing to give their hearts to God."

Yes we want to learn and grow, don't we? But we also want to share especially with our family, don't we? 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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
