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

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
