Monday... It is so easy for us to tremble at the creation.

Monday... It is so easy for us to tremble at the creation but we need to remember that the power is in the Creator.

What is it that you are facing today. Is it something that is greater than you?

The Children of Israel faced two great rivers. They needed to go across them. They were in situations that were greater than they could handle but the Creator of those rivers was greater than the rivers. The Psalmist writes in Psalm 114:3 & 4, "The Rea Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan turned away. What's wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of the way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?" Those rivers were no match for God.

Another time they were in the middle of the desert and there was no water. They were going to die of thirst. Verses 7 & 8 says, "Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the God of Jacob. He turned the rock into a pool of water; yea a spring of water flowed from solid rock."

What is it that you are facing that is greater than you, today? You see it as an obstacle that is greater than you but it is not greater than God. He can divide rivers so you can walk across, He can bring water out of rocks so you can drink and He can handle whatever you are facing today.

Again, "Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord. "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...

Wednesday... It didn't just happen.

Psalm 16;10 (NLT), "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." Wednesday... It didn't just happen. We are headed into a weekend of deep emotion. One that we really really love was killed and it didn't just happen. David in Psalm 16:10 (NLT) writes of this happening. He says about God, "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." We read over in the Gospels at the beginning of the New Testament in the Bible of the life of God's Son who came to earth to be our sacrifice so that our soul would not be left among the dead. Jesus came so that we wouldn't have to be buried at death and just left there. But he also shares that Jesus who was going to be killed as a sacrifice for our sins would not have to rot in a grave. David many generations before foretold this and that is what happened. Now that had to be a God thing. We can guess a lot about our future and we d...

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...
