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

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...
