Thursday... It is readily available to us.


Thursday... It is readily available to us.

Thank you, thank you, God. Your word, the Bible is readily available to us. That is not true in some places of the world but it is in Las Vegas, Nevada where I live. Now not everyone reads it on a daily basis but it is readily available. 

Now I have read this morning in Psalm 127, Proverbs 7 and Revelation 14. I read the Bible systematically everyday. Now these three chapters that I read this morning were very interesting. 

In Proverbs 7 I found these words. In verses 1-2a (NLT) it says this, "Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my commands. Obey my commands and live!" God Word lays out his plan for us and how we were created to live. That is what the Bible is all about. That's why we need to be in it on a daily basis. 

He continues in 2b-5. It says, "Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes. Tie them as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Love wisdom like a sister; make insight a beloved member of your family. Let them protect you from an affair with an immoral woman, from listening to the flattery of a promiscuous woman." There are so many reasons why we need to be in God's Word and for our protection is one of them. Oh, if so many would follow God's words. 

Now I also read in Revelation 14 today these words. In verses 6-7 it says, "And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world - to every nation, tribe, language, and people. 'Fear God,' he shouted. 'Give glory to him. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth and all the springs of water.'" This is a big reason why we want to be in God's Word. I want to be ready for the day that this happens.

And then back to Psalms 127:2, "It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones." He wants to be a part of your life in all ways. He built us with a plan. We need to be in his word on a daily basis to see this plan and to see what he wants.

When we get to that last day of this world, we don't want to be surprised. He wants to give rest and reward to his loved ones, to those who have obeyed his commands and truly lived. Again, thanks so much, God, for the Bible and that it is readily available to us and we really do need it in this day in which we will are living. 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 ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
