Saturday... They are miracle words!


Saturday... They are miracle words!

The writer of Psalm 119 in verse 129 (MSG) says, "Every word you give me is a miracle word." And verse 132 he prays, "Turn my way, look kindly on me, as you always do to those who personally love you." Now that word, kindly, is a miracle word for so many people. Do you need that word today?

There are so many other words that come into our life on a daily basis. This is not a kind world for so many. Sin brings so much into this world. This is not God's plan but if we personally love Him, and reach out to Him He will turn and look kindly on us. As the NLT puts it, "Come and show me your mercy, as you do for all who love your name." And we so need kindness and mercy don't we? Those are miracle words, aren't they?

And so many around us need them too and as followers of God we too can and must look kindly and show mercy. Judgement is not ours to give, but kindness and mercy are. What would happen in our own personal world if we looked kindly and showed mercy? What miracles would happen? And what God gives to us we too can give to others, especially those who personally love us. 

What miracles would happen in your family if you looked kindly and showed mercy? What about at the store or at the coffee shop or at work or with your neighbor? What miracles could happen?

The key is to realize that God who loves us and God who we personally love looks kindly on us and shows mercy to us so that we can do the same to others. Now we are not perfect. He doesn't look kindly and show mercy to us because we are perfect. But we do personally love Him and we love His name.

But for those who don't He does bring judgment. That is His job not ours. 

Verses 129-132 (MSG) says, "Every word you give me is a miracle word - how could I help but obey? Break open your words, let the light shine out, let ordinary people see the meaning. Mouth open and panting. I wanted your commands more than anything. Turn my way, look kindly on me, you always do to those who personally love you." 

They are miracle words 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 ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
