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

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...
