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

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good. The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
