Monday... This is true and has been proven true. So let's believe it!

I don't know what you are facing today. I'm sure that for some of you your burden is so very heavy. And David writes in Psalm 68:19 (NIV), "Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burden." He daily bears our burden.

The NLT says, "Praise the Lord; praise God our savior! For each day he carries us in his arms."

The Amplified Bible says, "Blessed be the Lord, who bears our burden day by day, the God who is our salvation."

You may have felt a lift when you sang those songs at church this past weekend. You may have felt that lift when that person came and put their arm around you and said, "I'm praying for you." Maybe they even stopped and prayed for you and that gave you a lift. Maybe you have awakened this morning and in reading this blog you feel a lift. Those are ways that you may feel a lift but here is the key, he is with you every minute of every day and as the GNT says, "Praise the Lord, who carries our burden day after day; he is the God who saves us."

So let's praise him for what he is doing and has done and will do. You are not alone. This is true and has been true and will be true. So let's believe it!

The NIRV says, "Gives praise to the Lord, Give praise to God our Savior. He carries our heavy loads day after day."

And then The Message paraphrase says, "Blessed be the Lord - day after day he carries us along. He's our Savior, our God, oh yes!" So let's believe it! 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...
