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

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 ...
