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

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...
