Thursday... Yes He does, yes He can!


Thursday... Yes He does, yes He can!

I don't know what you are facing today. For some it is an unsurmountable mountain. It is greater than you can handle and you can't do it alone. But if you have a relationship with God then you are not alone.

The Psalmist writes, Psalm 68:19 (NLT), "Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms." Even today as you face your mountain you are not alone, He will carry you in His arms and you are not too heavy for Him and your mountain is not too big for Him. So praise Him, acknowledge how great He is.

Verse 34 (NIV) says, "Proclaim the power of God." That's what praise does. You proclaim who He is and what He is. Praise focuses on His might, His power. He really is strong enough to carry you up and over that mountain you are facing.

Verses 34 & 35 (AMP), His majesty is over Israel and His strength is in the skies. Oh God, You are awesome and profoundly majestic from Your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!"

So relax, He's got you. Say it over and over as you face your mountain, whatever it is, no matter how big it is, "For each day he carries us in his arms." Verse 20 says (MSG), "He's our Savior, our God, oh yes! He's God-for-us, he's God-who-saves-us." He's got you! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

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 ...
