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... 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...
