Friday... This would be a great day.


Friday... This would be a great day.

I read everyday from the Psalms, the Proverbs and right now I am reading Revelation, the last book in the Bible. In Revelation 7:9-10 (NLT) I read today, "After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the Lamb." Now that is going to be an unexplainable experience. It really will be. And I plan on being there. 

It goes on, "They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands. And they were shouting with a great roar, 'Salvation comes from God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!'" 

And then back to Psalm 95:3-7, "For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods. He holds in his hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains. The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too. Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care." 

And here is a very important statement. And it is one that I have given my life to share. It is a statement that will make all the difference in your life and through all eternity. And with deep emotion I share it with you. It says, "If only you would listen to his voice today." This would be a great day to do it. 

There is so much that God wants to do for you and with you here in this life but when this is over the life He has prepared for us will just begin and it will be forever. And as my dad used to say, forever is a long, long time.

Oh I know the white robes may not be what you want to wear today but what they represent is unexplainable. The benefits of a relationship with God that we have in this life do not in any way compare to the benefits of an everlasting life with Him. John the writer of Revelation is shown a glimpse but it is only a glimpse. And so I say to you today, "If only you would listen to his voice today." This would be a great day to do 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 ...
