Monday... This is a reality beyond all realities.


Monday... This is a reality beyond all realities.

There is so much that we have to learn and experience from God's Word. There is so much practical, life changing truth, there really is. If we are not in the Scriptures on a daily basis then we are missing out on so much. And the Apostle Paul in his first letter to young Timothy in 3:16 (NLT) shares a reality beyond all realities.  

Here is what he says, "Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith. Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit, He was seen by angels and announced to the nations. He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory." That is definitely the truth of our faith. That is a reality beyond all realities and it can make all the difference in our lives if we accept it and believe it.

Now if you start in Genesis, the first book in the Old Testament you will see God's plan and see what would have happened if we, his creation would have lived with God as the center of our life. But our representatives decided they wanted to live on their own and God's plan for us was all messed up. But the OT lays out the remedy for our getting back on the path and it meant that God's Son, Jesus Christ needed to come to earth in a human body to solve the problem. 

What happened through our representatives back in the beginning didn't stop God. He just turned a page and set out to put us back individually on track. 

Verse 16 in the New International Version says, "Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up to glory." God's Son, Jesus Christ coming to earth is a reality.

Those 33 years Jesus was on this earth shows that God doesn't step back when there is a problem but sets out to solve the problem. And he wants to do that in our lives. Jesus came to earth to die so we could truly live the way God created us to live. 

Yes, Jesus Christ, God's Son coming to earth is a mystery but it is reality. And his coming and dieing and them coming back to life is God's solution to the problem that was caused by our representatives back in the beginning. Now we must choose to accept the solution, to believe that Jesus is God's Son, to confess and ask for forgiveness to our personally living off track of God's plan and then to commit to living with God as the center of our life. Yes, Jesus Christ is the solution to the problem that our representatives brought upon the world. And we can choose to have God as the center of our lives. 

Jesus Christ, God's Son coming to this earth in human form is a reality beyond all realities and he wants to put us back on track of God's plan for creating us. It's our chose. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit?

Nehemiah 6:16b (NLT), "They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit? Over in the Old Testament in the book of Nehemiah it tells of a major task that through the leadership of Nehemiah was accomplished. The walls of Jerusalem had been torn down and God had laid it on Nehemiah to build those walls back up. It was definitely an almost impossible task but Nehemiah 6:15-16 says, "So on October 2 the wall was finished - just fifty-two days after we had begun. When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Now, we so many times want to take credit for doing the impossible. It would make such a difference for us. But I wonder what would happen through us if God got the credit? Psalm 96 tells us what we are to do. Verses 2-3 says, "Sing to the LORD; praise his name. ...

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...
