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

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
