Friday... He rolled up his sleeves.

There are people who walk into a situation, look around and see what needs to be done and they roll up their sleeves and get it done. They don't need someone to tell them what to do, they do it. And they have what it takes to make a difference. It is great to see them work. And to praise them for a job well done.

The writer of Psalm 98 in verses 1 & 2 (MSG) says, "Sing to the Lord a brand-new song. He made a world of wonders! He rolled up his sleeves, he set things right. God made history with salvation, he showed the world what he could do."

And that is the God that I serve, that I put my trust in today. He is a doer. He gets thing done even in my life and your life. There maybe something in our lives that we can't seem to get a handle on but God is at work.

Now we need to step back and see what He is doing. It may seem like nothing is happening but He is at work.

Verses 1- 3 in the NIRV says, "Sing to the Lord. He has done wonderful things. By the power of his right hand and his holy arm he has saved his people. The Lord has made known his power to save. He has shown the nations that he does what is right. He has shown his faithful love to the people of Israel. People from one end of the earth to the other have seen that our God has saved us."

He is a mighty God and He is a loving God. Put those two things together today and He will make and is making a difference in our world. He has rolled up His sleeves and is making things right. You may not see it but you can trust that He is doing it. 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...

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...

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...
