Monday... It speaks to us where we are.


Monday... It speaks to us where we are. Yes it does.

Look at Psalm 138:1-3 (MSG). It says, "Thank you! Everything in me says, 'Thank you!' Angels listen as I sing thanks. I kneel in worship facing your holy temple and say it again, 'Thank you!!' Thank you for your love, thank you for your faithfulness; Most holy is your name, most holy is your Word. The moment I called out you stepped in; you made my life large with strength."

Maybe that is where you are today. We've just celebrated Easter. And your heart is filled with thanks. You may be reveling in His love and His faithfulness. You've called out and He's stepped in and He has given you such strength to handle life. 

But then the Psalmist goes on in verses 7 & 8. Maybe this is where you are today. He says, "When I walk into the thick of trouble, keep me alive in the angry turmoil. With one hand strike my foes, With the other hand save me. Finish what you started in me, God. Your love is eternal - don't quit on me now."  

God's Word speaks to us where we are, when we are up or when we are down. God knows what it is like on Good Friday and what it is like on Easter.  God through His Son, Jesus has lived where we live. He knows all about Mondays. He does and He knows all about you and me and how we handle the ups and the downs of our Mondays and He wants to be involved in them no matter what we are facing.

Here is what verses 4-6 says, "When they hear what you have to say, God, all earths kings will say; Thank you.' They'll sing of what you've done: 'How great the glory of God!' And here's why: God, high above, sees far below; no matter the distance, he knows everything about us."

His Word speaks to us where we are because He knows everything about us and He cares and understands. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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...

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...

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together!

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together! They really do. And this is what caught my attention this morning as I was reading Proverbs 2. Verse 1 (NRSVUE) says, "My child, if you accept my words and treasure my commands within you." Verse 3 (NIV), "Indeed i f you call  out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, Verse 4, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, Verse 5, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." And verses 9-11, " Then you will understand what is right and just and fair - every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." There will always be some effort we must do, some ifs for the thens to be realized in our lives. So many of us want to understand without the ifs. But the thens are so worth, so very worth the effort. Verses 5-6 in the Ampli...
