Thursday... Yes they do, yes it does.


Thursday... Yes they do, yes it does.

There are so many things that we tend to not remember. But we must and we do that by spending daily time reading God's Word in a systematic way.

Look at this, Psalm 119:91 (NLT) says, "Your regulations remain true to this day" yes they do "for everything serves your plans." Yes it does.

We need to be reminded of that fact as we have and are going through what we are going through right now. What we have and are going through may not be caused by God but He is using it, it serves His plan. And we need to get that and quit fighting it and search for what God is doing in and through it in our lives.

Now The MESSAGE Paraphrase says this in verses 91-96, "Your word and truth are dependable as ever; that's what you ordered - you set the earth going. If your revelations hadn't delighted me so, I would have given up when the hard times came." And so many have but they didn't have to. He goes on. "But I'll never forget the advice you gave me; you saved my life with those wise words. Save me, I'm all yours. I look high and low for your words of wisdom." And that is so important. That is what keeps us holding on.

He then says, "The wicked lie in ambush to destroy me, but I'm only concerned with your plans." That is will hold us steady. "I see the limits to everything human, but the horizon can't contains your commands."

Verses 95 & 96 says in the New International Reading Version, "Sinful people are waiting to destroy me. But I will spend time thinking about your covenant laws. I've learned that everything has its limits. But your commands are perfect. They are always there when I  need them."

So read each day in the Bible until something jumps out at you and then dwell upon it. God wants to speak to us through His Word and through His Spirit. So let's spend some personal time with Him and His Word everyday. It will definitely make a difference. You may say, I don't have time but you do have time to worry, don't you? Use that time in The Bible and in prayer. And see what a difference it makes and it will. 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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
