Saturday... It's bigger than what man can do.


Saturday... It's bigger than what man can do.

Five days a week I head down in the morning with my computer and get a cup of coffee and sit at a table in our Community Center that looks out on a section of the Spring Mountains that are to the West of the Las Vegas Valley. I love that view. This morning I am sitting at our dining room table looking out on new houses being built and a 17 block high fence at the back of our yard.. Now it is amazing what man can build but in no way does it compare to the smallest hill that God created. And that is who I can take my difficulties, my troubles, my fears and even my mistakes and failures to.

David writes in Psalm 65:5, "You faithfulling answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas." And then verse 6, "You formed the mountains by your power and armed yourself with mighty strength." 

Now He could say to us, Oh, I know that problem you are facing is really big to you. I know that you fear this Covid that seems to keep coming, and then the economy, or your kids. or your health, or whatever you are facing. I know that it is bigger than you but look at my power, I formed those mountains

I also used to live in Oceanside, New York and I would many mornings head off to Long Beach or to Jones Beach to walk in the sand or on the Boardwalk and look out on the Atlantic Ocean. It goes on and on. Verse 7 says, "You quieted the raging oceans with their pounding waves and silenced the shouting of nations." David then reminds us, verse 8, "Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy."

Again, "You faithfulling answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior." God is bigger than anything you are facing. 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 ...

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...
