Tuesday... Those mountains are just a reminder.


Tuesday... Those mountains are just a reminder.

Thank you, so much God for the beautiful view this morning. I love those mountains. They are an expression of your might, of your greatness, of your dependability, and of your enduring faithful love which will last forever.  Psalm 118:1 (NLT) says, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." 

Verses 5-6 says, "In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?" And then verse 7a, "Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me." He has done it before and he will do it again. "His faithful love endures forever."

I have looked out on those mountains for many years and they are still there, they look the same and they have not moved. 

Verse 8 says, "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes."

In this election year there are people out there who are asking us to put our trust in them. But "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes." Yes, they may be good people but they are not like those mountains. 

Verses 13-14 says, "My enemies did their best to kill me, but the Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory." 

Now this is very important for us to remember. Verses 22-25, "The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing and it is wonderful to see. This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Please, Lord, please save us. Please, Lord, please give us success." "His faithful love endures forever."

So, again, thank you so much, God, for the beauty of those mountains. And I, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." Those mountains are just a reminder. 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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
