Thursday... I'm going to keep on singing.

We flew out Christmas afternoon to Denver, Colorado to be with Brett, our son and Marissa and Ashlyn and Addison. We had such a good time with them but we set late last night for our time to fly home to Las Vegas. Brett took us a little early while it was starting to rain with snow on the way. We wanted him to get home before it started and it started about an hour before we were to leave.

Now they have a system to take care of the plane for it to fly in that kind of weather. So they took us to a spot and they started spraying this de-icer all over the plane and then they put on a sealer. Now they could have said, just go on but they knew that would be dangerous. So they faithfully took some extra time to make it safe for us to fly. They were faithful in doing what needed to be done to make us safe and they did their job. And we made it home about 30 minutes late but we made it home.

Now being faithful at doing what needs to be done is so important.

Psalm 89:1-2 (NLT) says, "I will sing of the Lord's unfailing love forever! Young and old will hear of your faithfulness. Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens." And that is so true. And I'm going to keep on singing about that truth.

As I was sitting on the plane as they were doing all of that I had a little anxiety but I was also confident because I knew I could trust them to be faithful at doing what they knew to do and that they wouldn't take a shortcut. And that gave me confidence.

And that is so true in my life. God is unfailing in His love for me and I can trust His faithfulness to do what needs to be done and also that His unfailing love will last forever. So, I am going to keep on singing about the Lord's unfailing love forever! Yes, Yes! #todaysbeginning

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
