Friday... It comes around again.


Friday... It comes around again.

With my reading Proverbs each month depending on the date I read, chapter 3 with its encouragements comes round on the third day of each month. And today is March 3 so I just read chapter 3 again. I do the same with Psalms but it take 5 months to read the 150 chapters. And I also read a chapter in the New Testament each day. I read Mark 4 today.

Look at this. Proverbs 3:25-26 (NLT) says, "You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for the Lord is your security. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap."

Now this is a new month of a different year and your situation is not the same. Each day is different but God and His Word is the same and you can depend on Him, that is if you have a relationship with Him.

Did you see what it said? It said, "You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked." If you don't have a relationship with God then you should be afraid. You're living each day by yourself and you don't have the added fact that God is your security and you won't be caught in a trap. But so many who have a relationship with God still are afraid even though they don't need to be because they don't realize this is the truth or they forgot and need to be reminded.

Let's say your dad is rich but you don't realize it. But you live with the fear of waking up each morning with no food or that maybe you are going to be kicked out of your home with no place to live. You are afraid but you don't need to be. Your dad has it covered.

Now God your Father is rich and He is strong and He sees what is happen all around you so you don't need to be afraid. He is out ahead of you to keep you from falling into a trap.

Now that is one of the reasons why I spend time in God's Word everyday. That's why I share with you 6 days a week what the Holy Spirit shows me to share with you. And I am no different from you if you have a relationship with God. He wants to show you what He is like and what you need to not be afraid of happening to you. But you need to spend time with Him in His Word and with His Spirit to know all about Him or to be reminded of what He is like and will do in your life.

Verses 24-26 in The Amplified Bible says, "When you lie down, you will not be afraid; When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Do not be afraid of sudden fear nor of the storm of the wicked when it comes [since you will be blameless]; for the Lord will be your confidence, firm and strong, and will keep your foot from being caught [in a trap]."

By the way this chapter also has two of my life verses. They are verses 5 & 6. Look them up. They might be what you need to know or be reminded of today. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
