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

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
