Saturday... You know and I can and I want to know.


Saturday... You know and I can and I want to know.

Thank you, God for the sun by day and the moon by night. You really know what you are doing. And I can start this new day with confidence because you are a part of my life.

Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path."  So here I am, in God's word as I start my day. Again, you, God know what you are doing. You know what we need, you know why things happen in our life. You have a plan, you have a path for us to follow. And we have your word as a lamp to guide our feet and to light our path.

Verses 129-132 says, "Your laws are wonderful. No wonder I obey them! The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand. I pant with expectation longing for your commands. Come and show me your mercy, as you do for all who love your name." 

I read each day In the Psalms but I'm also reading right now in Isaiah and the Book of Revelation. A lot of different perspectives and light in those books.

Today in Isaiah 62 in verse 1 the writer is writing about another time and place but look what it says. "Because I love Zion, I will not keep still. Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain in silence. I will not stop praying for her until her righteousness shines like the dawn and his salvation blazes like a burning torch."

God cares about what has happened and is happening. And we need to be in his word because it is a lamp to show us so many things about God and what he cares about.

And then this morning I read in Revelation 10 and in verse 1 it says, "Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, surrounded by a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face shone like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire." I don't always understand what I am reading in Revelation but I do know that God has a place that he is preparing for those who follow and obey his word. That is why I spend time in God's word because "it is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path."

Yes I want to know what God has been and is and will be doing and what he wants from me and what he is preparing for me. And I love this, "The teaching of your word gives light, so even the simple can understand." 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...

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...

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless.

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless.  It really can. I have found that unless I give the correct email of my wife then I can't get what I wanted. I put an extra i in her email and I have been working for 5 days to get it changed. Unless has been useless. The writer of Psalm 94 uses this word and shows how important it is. Verses 17-19 (NLT) says, "Unless the Lord had helped me, I would have soon settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, 'I'm slipping!' but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer." "Unless the Lord had helped me." So many people go on and on and on striving to live their life on their own but they keep slipping and doubting and living without hope and cheer. Yes the Lord has such unfailing love for us, he really does but unless we have a relationship with him and we turn to him and ask him for help then the unless turns in to useless because h...
