Wednesday... This used to be impossible to do, daily.


Wednesday... This used to be impossible to do, daily.

Psalm 105:1 (NLT) says, "Give thanks to the Lord..." now that hasn't been impossible. We even have a day next week set aside to give thanks. Yes, we really can do that and we need to do it everyday. And giving thanks to the Lord is a great way to start and continue our day. So, why not stop right now and give thanks to God for three things he did for you yesterday and today. 

Here are mine. Thanks God that I was able yesterday to get back to writing after having Covid. Thanks God, that Margaret is closer to getting over Covid. Thanks God that I was able to check in to the coffee shop, Aspire where I write, for the 400th time today. Oh, God, you are so good to me. And he is to you, too.

"Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done." Now that has been impossible. But now I can set down at my computer and share what he has done and anyone, anywhere can click on their phone or their computer or whatever connects them to the internet and they can know what he has done. But too many times that is not what we start out with, is it?

What if every Christ follower would start their day on their computer or phone by giving thanks to the Lord and proclaiming his greatness and in that they would be letting the whole world know how great our God is and what he has done in our lives? And it also would be a great reminder to ourselves of how great God is and that he cares for us and that he is working in us and doing great things for and through us.  

I was watching on YouTube yesterday a man who has had a tremendous impact on my life and the world and I woke up this morning with the desire to really make an impact, a difference in the world but realizing that what God has given me is the opportunity to share a simple truth from God's word each day that will help people in their beginning their today and we need that.  

Yes, God's word has so much depth but it also has simple, practical truths that will make a difference in our day. And this is one of them. We each one can make a difference in our day and in our world if we, "Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done." It use to be impossible but now it is possible. So let's do it. 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 ...
