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

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good.  The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
