Tuesday... And that is what I want to do.

Last week I mentioned that I had tested positive for Covid. Well, yesterday I tested negative. And as my son, Brett said yesterday, "I'm sure you are thrilled to have your freedom back." And that is so very true.

Now the first line in today's Psalm is what I want to do today. Psalm 104:1 (NLT) says, "Let all that I am praise the Lord." I have no doubt that he has had a hand in freeing me in so many areas of my life and for sure from this prison of Covid. Do you have some area in your life where you feel shackled and you found that with God in your life that if and when you came to him and asked him to that he would free you? And as you think about what he has done in so many areas of your life do you also want to stop and praise him? So "Let all that I am praise the Lord."

Maybe you still feel shacked. Margaret tested positive a few days after me and she is still positive but she should test negative real soon. Two years ago when we both had Covid, Margaret had to go to the hospital. I was sick at home by myself and I was so concerned that Margaret wasn't going to come home. So when she tested positive this time I had some deep emotion and I had a very deep emfatic time of prayer. But this time was different. It wasn't as bad and we were home together, taking care of each other she will test negative real soon. I'm already praising the Lord for freeing Margaret from her Covid.

Aagin, "Let all that I am praise the Lord." So, again, has God freed you from some addiction, from financial or relational problems, or from confessed sins? Maybe it's also your health. Now when we got the results of our Covid tests we found that there were so many other solutions to help free us that we didn't have before. And do you know where they came from.?They came from God. Yes, they came from family and friends, people who cared for us but God used them to get his message to us and it made all of the difference. And whatever you are going through God has answers out there. "Let all that I am praise the Lord."

So if you need help then reach out. God wants to free you. Let people know that you need help. Do something about it. God has a way to free you. Do you know that the people who really helped us where people who had had Covid before and so now we can let others who have it know what to do. But you must reach out.

So is that what you want to do? So let's do it together. "Let all that I am praise the Lord." Let's do it. 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...

Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do

Psalm 8:3-4 (NLT), "When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and the stars you set in place - what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?" Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do. No, not the fact that I can go out my front door and look out at night at the marvels of the sky. I can do that and it is amazing and it takes my breath away each time I see it. Yes, that is a fact but the reality of who did that and the wisdom and the faith that I have to believe that and to marvel that the one who did that cares about me makes such a difference in how I live my life. Yes, God really does. That is so wonderful for us to believe. And that is why faith and wisdom are so important. Now whatever belief you have at how that marvel happened must also be believed through faith. And the sad thing to me is that more and more people have been taught that there is no God and therefore he did not have a h...

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together!

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together! They really do. And this is what caught my attention this morning as I was reading Proverbs 2. Verse 1 (NRSVUE) says, "My child, if you accept my words and treasure my commands within you." Verse 3 (NIV), "Indeed i f you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, Verse 4, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, Verse 5, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." And verses 9-11, " Then you will understand what is right and just and fair - every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." There will always be some effort we must do, some ifs for the thens to be realized in our lives. So many of us want to understand without the ifs. But the thens are so worth, so very worth the effort. Verses 5-6 in the Ampli...
