Wednesday... Yes, He did, yes, He did!


Wednesday... Yes, He did, yes, He did!

Today in Psalm 22 I read something that showed someone who can see into the future wrote the Bible.

Verses 16-18 (NLT) shows a picture of what will happen way in the future. It says, "My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; They have pierced my hands and feet," They drove nails into His hands and feet. "I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at me and gloat," He was on a Cross. "They divided my garments among themselves and throw dice for my clothing."

Over in Mark 15:24 which is in the New Testament of the Bible, it says, "Then the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They divided and threw dice to decide who would get each piece." The Psalms is in the Old Testament. It was written way before the New Testament.

Now I love the Bible. It has so much wisdom, it is such an encouragement and it is the Word of God. No one else can see into the future.  He has used so many as instruments to write what He wants us to read. But He did it, yes, He did it. So then we need to read it. It is not just a book, it is God's Word. It is such a simple thing to believe. There are pockets here and there that reveal only what someone who can see into the future can know. 

Now the sad thing is, the ones who were killing Jesus on the Cross knew the Old Testament through and through but they were so filled with hatred and self preservation that they didn't see the correlation, they didn't see the connection. So let's not be like them and miss what God is doing and will do and what He has done. He has a plan for each one of us personally and He wants to show us. And it starts with a personal relationship with Him, the One who created us and knows what is out ahead and He has given to us a manual that will show us what He wants and what He has for us. It is called the Bible and He wrote it through people who were attuned to Him, yes, they were and yes, He did.

And that is why it is such a good thing to give our life over to Him and spend time with Him in His Word, the Bible and to connect to Him through His Spirit and through meditation and prayer. He wants us also to be attuned to Him. Again we do that through His Spirit and through His Word. 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 ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
