Tuesday... Just look out at what He is doing.

Tuesday... Just look out at what He is doing, what He has done, and what He will do.

We so many times, even right now, can look around and really be discouraged. So much negative stuff is happening. But we can also look around and see so much good and be encouraged. Yes, life can be tough but we are not alone if we have a relationship with God and even if we don't He is still working all around us.

Psalm 98:1 (MSG) says, "Sing to God a brand-new song." Each day, there is a new song to be sung. "He's made a world of wonders." Oh I know, the Evil one strives to do all he can to destroy the good but he can't. God may allow him to do his stuff but God is still at work, making a world of wonders.

The verse continues, "He rolled up his sleeves, He set things right." He is always working bringing good out of bad. Just look around. Ask Him to open your eyes to see all the wonders that He is doing. I'm looking out the window at the mountains . He did that. I'm looking at trees and the beauty of their blossoms. He did that. I'm drinking my coffee and enjoying my space and friends here at Aspire Coffee House. He did that. So what do you see?

Oh, it is a little chilly out there but the wonders of God are still happening

The Psalmist goes on in verses 2-3a, "God made history with salvation, He showed the world what he could do. He remembers to love us, a bonus." I love that. "He remembers to love us, a bonus."

He does all that He does and He also loves us. And He shows that to us every day.

And then verses 8-9 (NLT), Let the rivers clap their hands in glee! Let the hills sing out their songs of joy before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with fairness."

Verse 9 in The Message says, "He'll straighten out the whole world, He'll put the world right, and everyone in it." God is working. So let's sing to Him a new song in this new day. Just look around and see His wonders. Yes, yes! #todays beginning

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...
