Monday... He is mightier, He is more powerful, He is stronger!

I remember as a child, my father driving us to the shore of New Jersey to see the after waves of a hurricane that had hit that area. The waves were huge and they were mighty. I've also been through hurricanes in Texas and New York. Those waves wiped out any and everything in their paths.

The Psalmist gives this picture in Psalm 93:3 & 4 (NLT), "The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breaks on the shore - the Lord above is mightier than these."

God is mightier than anything you and I will be facing today. And He is on our side, ready to take on whatever is in our way. So let's acknowledge that fact, let's praise Him that He is mighty, He is omnipotent, that He is all powerful

The NIRV puts it this way, verse 3, "Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice. They have lifted up their pounding waves." So what is it that is pounding at you, what is it that is yelling at you? You just want to run away from it. It is too great for you to handle.

But then verse 4, "But Lord" That word "but" is a great word here, it makes all the difference. "But Lord, you are more powerful than the roar of the ocean. You are stronger than the waves of the sea. Lord, you are powerful in heaven." Yes you are.

Listen, God is more powerful than anything that you and I are facing today. Just believe that. Just revel in that. Just rely on that. Just release what you can't handle to Him. He has what it takes to handle it. He is mightier, He is more powerful, He is stronger. Yes, He is! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning.

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good. The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
