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

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...

Wednesday... It didn't just happen.

Psalm 16;10 (NLT), "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." Wednesday... It didn't just happen. We are headed into a weekend of deep emotion. One that we really really love was killed and it didn't just happen. David in Psalm 16:10 (NLT) writes of this happening. He says about God, "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." We read over in the Gospels at the beginning of the New Testament in the Bible of the life of God's Son who came to earth to be our sacrifice so that our soul would not be left among the dead. Jesus came so that we wouldn't have to be buried at death and just left there. But he also shares that Jesus who was going to be killed as a sacrifice for our sins would not have to rot in a grave. David many generations before foretold this and that is what happened. Now that had to be a God thing. We can guess a lot about our future and we d...

Tuesday... Each one of us see and describe what we are going through differently but... We each one have our own way of explaining what we are going through, don't we? Some of us are maximisers, other are minimizers and neither one is better. We each one are different and we see what we are facing differently but no matter what it is and how you see it and describe it, God can handle it! Now the writer of Psalm 46 shows the extremes. In verse 1 he states the basic reality and then he moves on into our fears and he maximizes them to make sure we really understand. Here is what Psalm 46:1-3 (NLT) says, "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!" So what do you fear? The Amplified Bible says verse 1 this way, "God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], a very presen...
