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

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good. The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
