Tuesday... He always has and always will.


Tuesday... He always has and always will. 

I'm looking out on some mountains. I love doing that. Now those mountains have been there a long time. Around 25 years ago when I first came to Las Vegas they were there. I came through this town with my parents over 60 years ago and they were there. The world around them has changed but they haven't. No matter what has happened around them they are still the same.

Now there is a security in looking out on those mountains. I can trust those mountains. That can't be said of the valley. There has been great changes since the first time I came to this valley but not those mountains. I love living close to mountains. I really do. 

The Psalmist in Psalm 125:1-2 (MSG) says,  "Those who trust in God are like Zion Mountain: Nothing can move it, a rock-solid mountain you can always depend on. Mountains encircle Jerusalem, and God encircles his people - always has and always will."

There is so much that we put our trust in but it changes and we get frustrated. People do that, jobs do that, things do that, we do that. We put our trust in people and things and when they change it throws us. We've gone through change in the past few years and it has been rough, hasn't it?

We've been gone a few years from Vegas and we have come back and there have been changes. I knew this town when I left but it isn't the same.

Even people change. You think you have someone figured out and they do something you weren't expecting and it throws you off. I had something happen this weekend and it threw me a little. I didn't expect it.

But God never changes. I can trust Him.  

And the last verse of this Psalm says, (NLT), "May Israel have peace." With trust comes peace in whatever we are going through. Remember this, "He always has and always will." There is peace in that! 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...
