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

Friday... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
