Wednesday... What a tremendous opportunity we have today.


Wednesday... What a tremendous opportunity we have today.

We are in the middle of moving out of our third story apartment into our new house. This is such a great opportunity but that is not the opportunity that I am talking about. It is a very exciting one but not the one that the Psalmist speaks of.
 
Psalm 96:1-3 (NLT), "Sing a new song to the Lord! Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Sing to the Lord, praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does."

Now what if you used the power of the internet to do that. It is an amazing tool to use, isn't it?  What if we as Christ's followers starting today would "each day proclaim the good news that he saves". What a tremendous opportunity we have to spread the good news throughout the world. 

I am also reading in the Acts of the Apostles of the means that they had to spread the good news and the impact that it had. Acts 16:25 says, "Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening." We are also it seems prisoners to Covid. What if we used this opportunity to also pray and sing hymns. We also have a great opportunity to show that God saves and has made a great difference in our lives.

The Psalmist continues to sing, verses 4-8, "Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made his heavens! Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary. O nations of the world recognize the Lord; recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong."

We have a tremendous opportunity to share the good news of what God is doing in our lives and that He saves! Let's flood the internet with the good news that He saves! Let's "publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does." Let's do it, starting today! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginng

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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
