Wednesday... Dreams give us life.

Wednesday... Dreams give us life. Yes they do.

What are you living for? What dream has God given to you that gives you life each day when you wake up?

God Himself has a dream. It is a dream to have a people who by choice worship Him and love Him and for Him to show HIs love to. The angels job is to worship Him but He wanted someone who worships Him and loves Him by choice. And He has never been sidetracked at fulfilling that dream.

Now He also uses dreams to give us life.

Proverbs 13:12 (NLT) says, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life."

God has a plan, a purpose, for each one of us and he uses fulfilled dreams to give us the longing to live out that purpose. Let me ask you, what are you living for? Does it give you meaning and purpose?

The MESSAGE says, "Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around." We have so many disappointments but God wants to turn our life around.

Don't feel guilty at having a dream. Now if it is from God there must be a making a difference in other people's lives involved in that dream. To fulfill God's purpose to show love and share love must be a part of the dream. So what is the desire that God has placed within you that gives you life? As it is fulfilled it gives you life.

The Amplified Bible says, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life." God has a dream for you that will give you life. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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...

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless.

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless. It really can. I have found that unless I give the correct email of my wife then I can't get what I wanted. I put an extra i in her email and I have been working for 5 days to get it changed. Unless has been useless. The writer of Psalm 94 uses this word and shows how important it is. Verses 17-19 (NLT) says, "Unless the Lord had helped me, I would have soon settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, 'I'm slipping!' but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer." "Unless the Lord had helped me." So many people go on and on and on striving to live their life on their own but they keep slipping and doubting and living without hope and cheer. Yes the Lord has such unfailing love for us, he really does but unless we have a relationship with him and we turn to him and ask him for help then the unless turns in to useless because h...
