Thursday... We really need to know what to do.

Thursday... We really need to know what to do. When we are suffering and weak, we need to know what to do.

Well, Psalm 102 gives some thoughts on this situation. Maybe this is what you need today. You too are suffering and you too have grown weak and you need to know what to do. This Psalm is for you.

And here is what the writer did. He prayed and he shared his prayer with us. God wants us to pour out our problems to Him. He really does.

Verses 1 & 2 (NIRV) says this, "Lord hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help. Don't turn your face away from me when I'm in trouble. Pay attention to me. When I call out for help, answer me quickly."

He then lists his problems, he lays them all out before God. It is a good thing to be honest before God. It really is.

And then at the end he reinforces what he knows. Verses 25-27 (AMP) says, "At the beginning you founded the earth; The heavens are the work of Your hands. Even they will perish, but you will endure; Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. Like clothing You will change them and they shall be changed. But you remain the same, And your years will never end." And then verse 28 says, "The children of Your servants will continue, And their descendant will be established before You."

There are reasons why the Evil One strives to break down the reality of God creating this earth. He is striving to do all he can to weaken our belief in a God who created us and is there to strengthen us in our time of weakness. And we need to be reinforced in the fact that God is alive and that He will always be with us and He will hear you when you pray, when you call out to Him. 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
