Saturday... He is such a giver. He really is!


Saturday... He is such a giver. He really is!

There is so much that we need and there is so much that God wants and can give. 

David writes in the last verse, verse 11 of Psalm 29 (AMP). He says, "The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people. The Lord will bless His people with peace."

He gives us the strength we need to face whatever we are facing and to whatever we need to do and with that, He blesses us with peace. They seem to go together, don't they?

When I am weak and it seems being blown all over the place I have deep anxiety. No way do I have peace. But when I believe that I can handle whatever is coming at me them I have confidence and in that is peace. But the key is, God is the giver of strength and He blesses us with peace.

The Amplified Bible says that His strength is unyielding and impenetrable. It can handle anything that we are facing. The MESSAGE says, "God makes his people strong. God give his people peace."

Now strength comes from persistence and endurance. With God by our side we know that we can handle whatever is facing us and there is strength that comes from handling difficult situations. We have been going through great difficulty and through it we have become stronger. Strength doesn't come from sitting and doing nothing. It comes from facing the situation and doing something about it. 

I bought an outside heater the other day. It came in a box. I first had to get it home and then take it out of my car and take all the stuff out of the box and then put it together and I used it this morning in my time of reading. Now no way would I have had it to use if I would have left it in the store. To get it to the place I could use it I had to use by strength to get it where I could use it. God gave me the opportunity and the desire and the strength to do what I needed to do so I could use it. And I am at peace using it each morning and each night. I love it.

God gives us strength in doing. It is so amazing. He is such a great giver. 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...
