Tuesday... What are you facing today and what are you facing tomorrow?

Tuesday... What are you facing today and what are you facing tomorrow? Are starting today with some anxiety? And what about tomorrow?

The unknown of a new day can cause us to want to go back to bed and not face it. Especially if we have gone through the anxieties that we have gone through this past year. Fear and anxiety build upon fear and anxiety but it doesn't have to. The realization that we have gone through our yesterday and have survived can also build upon us to the point that it seems that we can handle anything.

But there is more. Look at Psalm 121:5-7 (NLT), "The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life." And then verse 8, "The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now [today] and forever [tomorrow]" Yes He sees what you are facing today and He sees what you are facing tomorrow. He is personally watching over you. He knows and He is involved.

Back in verse 4 (Amp) it says, "Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber [briefly] not sleep [soundly]." He will be wide awake when you need Him. And then verse 8 in the Amplified Bible, "The Lord will guard your going and coming in [everything you do] from this time forth and forever." Everything you do, not just some, not just what happens in the day, today, not just the night and tomorrow but also forevermore. Now with that you can handle whatever you are facing today and tomorrow and forever.

So what are you facing today? What are you facing tomorrow? Know this, you are not facing it alone, you are facing it with God. 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...

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...
