Wednesday... But I have done nothing wrong.


Wednesday... But I have done nothing wrong.

Have you ever said that? Maybe something bad is happening to you and you say it. I've been a good boy, I've been a good girl. But that doesn't always make a difference, does it?.

King David over in Psalm 59:4a (NLT) said, "I have done nothing wrong yet they prepare to attack me." We too many times live in the world of, why is the happening to me? But bad things sometimes happens to good people. I know, I know, that may not be what we want to hear but God has also been in situations that He could say the same thing and He is perfect.

Think of all the anger that is thrown toward God. So many put Him down because bad things are happening to them. But He doesn't cause the bad in the world. He had such a good plan when He created the world but our representatives blew it for us and sin entered the world. He said to them, "you do this and I'll allow this" and bad happens all around us even though we have done nothing wrong.

But here is the key. Verse 4a goes on. It says in 4b, "Wake up! See what is happening and help us." 

And then verses 8-10 says, "But Lord, you laugh at them. You scoff at all the hostile nations. You are my strength; I wait for you to rescue me, for you, O God are my fortress. In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me, He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies."

And then Psalm 60:11-12, "Oh, please help us against our enemies, all human help is useless. With God's help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes."

Think of this. While Jesus was hanging on a cross he could have without a doubt said, "but I have done nothing wrong." Yes He was tortured and killed but the story didn't end there. On Sunday He was resurrected. 

Always remember, in whatever you are going through, "In his unfailing love, my God will stand with me, He will let me look down in triumph on all my enemies." Now that is a very good thing, isn't it? Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

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 ...
