Tuesday... Someday, someday, someday it will be said.

As we look around around us we see so much injustice, don't we? The wicked, it seems that the wicked have the upper hand. But someday, someday.

David in Psalm 58:10a (NIV) gives us hope. He says, "The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged." We will rejoice.

And then two words that reinforce our faith. Verse 11 says, "Then at last everyone will say, 'There truly is a reward for those who live for God, surely there is a God who judges justly here on earth.' " Truly and surely. It is a fact.

"There truly is a reward for those who live for God." That is true. You can believe it. Don't waver, keep at it. It's true, folks. There is a reward, yes there is. Because He said it, you can know it.

Listen, "surely there is a God who judges here on earth." Yes, He is judging in heaven but He is also judging here on earth.

The Amplified Bible says, "Men will say, 'Surely there is a reward for the righteous; Surely there is a God who judges on the earth." They are not questions, they are statements of fact and they are statements that we can hold on to even those injustice is happening all around us. Think of this, it is in the injustice that the surely of God will come through, is coming through, and will be shown.

Verses 10 & 11 in the NIV says, "The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked. Then people will say, 'Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.' "

And I believe that today is a someday and that truly and surely is being fulfilled. Believe it and know it and live like it is surely true. 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...
