Wednesday... There are so many simple truths that make such a difference.

Wednesday... There are so many simple truths that make such a difference. Like these.

David in Psalm 28:6 (MSG) says, "Blessed be God - he heard me praying. He proved he's on my side; I've thrown my lot in with him"

First of all, God hears me when I pray. I'm not just talking and nobody is listening. He is listening, He hears me. And that is a simple truth that really makes a difference. I mean, the One who created all of this is listening when I pray. That is an awesome simple truth.

And then, "He proved he's on my side." He didn't just listen, he did something. He did something. "He proved he's on my side."

And then a third simple truth that makes all of the difference in my life. "I've thrown my lot in with him." I made a very important choice, I chose to follow Him. He may be on my side and I can talk to Him but if I don't reach out to Him, if I don't have a relationship with Him, then those two simple facts don't have a daily life-changing reality in my life. I need to throw in my lot with Him. And I have. Yes, I have. And that makes all the difference in how I handle, in how I face today.

Three simple truths that make all the difference. He hears me, He is on my side and I have thrown my life in with Him. And all of that can be true for you today. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... Each one of us see and describe what we are going through differently but... We each one have our own way of explaining what we are going through, don't we? Some of us are maximisers, other are minimizers and neither one is better. We each one are different and we see what we are facing differently but no matter what it is and how you see it and describe it, God can handle it! Now the writer of Psalm 46 shows the extremes. In verse 1 he states the basic reality and then he moves on into our fears and he maximizes them to make sure we really understand. Here is what Psalm 46:1-3 (NLT) says, "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!" So what do you fear? The Amplified Bible says verse 1 this way, "God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], a very presen...

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...

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...
