Thursday... Storms, they are wild and roaring. Yes they are.


Thursday... Storms, they are wild and roaring. Yes they are. Yes they are.

I've stood on shore and watched as the waves of a hurricane were hitting the shore. They were unbelievably. I have seen a tornado coming right at me. It was unbelievable.

Psalm 93:3 (MSG) says, "Sea storms are up God, Sea storms are wild and roaring, Sea storms with thunderous breakers." It seems that we are in some wild and roaring storms in our world, doesn't it? And we need some words of encouragement, don't we? There is no way that we on our own can handle these storms.

The Psalmist goes on in verse 4 (NLT), "But" I love the word "but." No matter what we are facing there is a "but." "But mightier than the violent ranging of seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore - the Lord above is mightier than theses!" 

"But mightier." Say that over and over. "But mightier." "But mightier." But mightier than what we are facing today. But mightier than the storms that are raging around us. But mightier than the job problems, the relationship problems, our finances, our health and even the wars that are happening all around us. "The Lord above is mightier than these!" 

The MESSAGE says, "Stronger than wild sea storms, Mightier than sea storm breakers, Mighty God rules from High Heaven." And then verse 5a says, "What you say goes - it always has."  

Be encouraged, God knows what He is doing and what He says goes - it always has. "The Lord above is mightier than these."Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

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 ...
