Monday... Yes, He is, yes, He is!

Monday... Yes He is, yes, He is.

I don't know what you are facing today, what you are going through but God does. Proverbs 15:3 (NLT) says, "The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping his eye on both evil and good." Maybe on this Monday morning that reality is what you need to bring into your life. He is watching everywhere, He is keeping His eye on you. Yes He is.

Now if you are doing wrong in private, you need to realize that. If you are in deep despair you need to realize that. If you are making a difference, you need to realize that. If you are in over your head, you need to realize that. You are not alone.

The MESSAGE paraphrase says, "God doesn't miss a thing." He doesn't. He is only a prayer away. You are not alone. He cares and He is bigger than anything you are facing.

And know this, verse 15, (NLT) says, ""For the despondent, every day brings trouble, for the happy heart, life is a continual feast."

He cares about you, He cares about your emotions, He cares how you view each day. He knows what you are going through and He has His eye on you. If you would rather He didn't see what your doing or how you are handling life then you probably are despondent, and your day brings trouble but if you are encouraged about the fact that He has His eye on you and He doesn't miss a thing in your life then your life is a continuing feast.

Let the fact that He is watching everywhere motivate you in the way you act. We cannot hide from God. And if we are living the way He wants us to live then we don't want to hide from Him.

Thank You so much, God, for watching over me. Thank You so much for being involved in my life. Thank You for not missing a thing in my life. You are watching everywhere. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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...

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together!

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together! They really do. And this is what caught my attention this morning as I was reading Proverbs 2. Verse 1 (NRSVUE) says, "My child, if you accept my words and treasure my commands within you." Verse 3 (NIV), "Indeed i f you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, Verse 4, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, Verse 5, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." And verses 9-11, " Then you will understand what is right and just and fair - every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." There will always be some effort we must do, some ifs for the thens to be realized in our lives. So many of us want to understand without the ifs. But the thens are so worth, so very worth the effort. Verses 5-6 in the Ampli...

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless.

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless. It really can. I have found that unless I give the correct email of my wife then I can't get what I wanted. I put an extra i in her email and I have been working for 5 days to get it changed. Unless has been useless. The writer of Psalm 94 uses this word and shows how important it is. Verses 17-19 (NLT) says, "Unless the Lord had helped me, I would have soon settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, 'I'm slipping!' but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer." "Unless the Lord had helped me." So many people go on and on and on striving to live their life on their own but they keep slipping and doubting and living without hope and cheer. Yes the Lord has such unfailing love for us, he really does but unless we have a relationship with him and we turn to him and ask him for help then the unless turns in to useless because h...
