Tuesday... It is another day to delight in and for him to deliver. Thanks!


Tuesday... It is another day to delight in and for him to deliver. Thanks!

Thanks so much, God for the beauty of a new day. A little cold but the sun is out and my anticipation is there about this new day. Thank you so much for preparing the way. You have a plan and a purpose. Thanks for the privileged of being a part of it. It has started.

Psalm 111:2-3 (NLT) says, "How amazing are the deeds of the Lord! All who delight in him should ponder them. Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails."

At the Starbucks I go to a guy was telling me yesterday all about the fact that our country is falling apart. He was so discouraged. I don't think he started his day with focusing on the deeds of the Lord and that he didn't delighted in him as he pondered them. And I felt so bad for him. His focus was bringing him down. I did share with him that I had a different perspective and that I had hope.

So what is your focus today? Yes, if this world we live in is left to us we will be discouraged and it will fall apart. 

Verse 4 says, "He causes us to remember his wonderful works. How gracious and merciful is our Lord!"

This Psalmist writer starts in verse 1 by saying, "Praise the Lord! I will thank the Lord with all my heart as I meet with his godly people."

And then look at this. Verse 10 (AMP) says, "The [reverent] fear of the Lord is the beginning (the prerequisite, the absolute essential, the alphabet) of wisdom; A good understanding and a teachable heart are possessed by all those who do the will of the Lord; His praise endures forever."

I remember a day back at the beginning of Covid that I was walking through a grocery store and I was afraid and it hit me. I never did live in fear but in the fear of the Lord. So I stopped and asked God to help me live with wisdom not with fear. It made all of the difference for me. 

Again, thank you, God for the beauty of a new day. This is a another day to delight in and for you to deliver and for us to do your will. Thanks, God! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

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 ...
