Saturday... Ok, ok, here we are reminded again.


Saturday... Ok, ok, here we are reminded again.

King David, the writer of so many of the Psalms reminds us again in Psalm 21:6 & 7 (NIV). He says, "Surely you have granted him unending blessings and make him glad with the joy of his presence. For the king trusts in the Lord; through the unfailing love of the Most High he will not be shaken."

We need to be reminded each and every morning of God's unending blessings and of our joy for God's presence. We can trust Him, we can trust Him because we know that He unfailingly loves us and in that we will not be shaken. Now that all is because we serve Him, we love Him and we follow Him.

He starts this Psalm in verse 1 by saying, "The king rejoices in your strength, Lord. How great is his joy in the victories you give!"  And David goes on and lists them.

How good has God been to you? Why not stop right now and rejoice in His strength and the victories He has given you. Oh, we acknowledge all the bad that is around us. David had a lot of bad around Him. He was honest about the bad but He also was honest about all the blessings, all the victories, all of the ways that God's unfailing love came through in His life.

We can go hiking and all we do is gripe about all the rocks that are on our path or we can look around and see all the beauty. Yes, we need to be careful about all the rocks so we won't stumble but also really, really really enjoy all the beauty. 

David goes on to say in verses 3-7 (NLT), "You welcomed him back with success and porsperity. You placed a crown of the finest gold on his head. He asked you to preserve his life, and you granted his request. The days of his life stretch on forever. Your victory brings him great honor, and you have clothed him with majesty. You have endowed him with eternal blessings and given him the joy of his presence. For the king trusts in the Lord. The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling."

Let's just be reminded of all God has done for us and especially about His unfailing love and that will go a long way in keeping us from stumbling. 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

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
