Wednesday... It is real so what do we do about it?


Wednesday... It is real so what do we do about it?

Injustice is real. We think of all that we can say and do but is there a different standard for us?

We live in a HOA community and I broke one of the rules in that large book and they stuck a big red notice on the driver side of my car and it is really hard to get off. Now I have in my mind thought of all that I could say. It is an injustice. And there is a whole lot of injustice going around but it was also going around in Jesus time to the point that they killed Jesus and He was the most perfect man who ever lived. All they did to me was paist a big red notice on my car window but it was an injustice.

Now the writer of Hebrews wrote a letter to people who were being imprisoned for their faith. They were breaking some rules against who they could worship. A little bit more important than where a person should park.

Now Hebrews 6:10 (NLT) says, "For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for him and how you have shown your love to him by caring for other believers, as you still do."  

Verses 9b-11 in The Message Paraphrase says, "I have better things in mind for you - salvation things! God doesn't miss anything. He knows perfectly well all the love you've shown him by helping needy Christians, and that you keep at it. And now I want each of you to extend that same intensity toward full-bodied hope, and keep at it till the finish. Don't drag your feet. Be like those who stay the course with commited faith and then get everything promised to them."

Bill, fight battles that really matter. Those people at the HOA office are your friends and I am using you to show them what a difference being a Christian is all about and the Evil One is striving to get you off track. So, "extend the same intensity toward full-bodied hope, and keep at it till the finish." 

Yes, injustice is real but we serve a just God and He will take care of us. So let Him fight your unjust battles and then we must "extend the same intensity toward full-bodied hope, and keep at it till the finish." So let's quite dragging our feet and stay the course with committed faith and then we will get everything promised to us. And we also need to thank Him for taking care of us and fighting our battles for us.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...

Wednesday... It didn't just happen.

Psalm 16;10 (NLT), "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." Wednesday... It didn't just happen. We are headed into a weekend of deep emotion. One that we really really love was killed and it didn't just happen. David in Psalm 16:10 (NLT) writes of this happening. He says about God, "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." We read over in the Gospels at the beginning of the New Testament in the Bible of the life of God's Son who came to earth to be our sacrifice so that our soul would not be left among the dead. Jesus came so that we wouldn't have to be buried at death and just left there. But he also shares that Jesus who was going to be killed as a sacrifice for our sins would not have to rot in a grave. David many generations before foretold this and that is what happened. Now that had to be a God thing. We can guess a lot about our future and we d...

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...
