Wednesday... What do you really need today?


Wednesday... What do you really need today?

The writer of Proverbs 13:12 (MSG) may know exactly what you need. He writes, "Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around." Is that what you need?

In my prayer time this morning, as I was praying for each member of my family I had a deep burden to how to pray for each one of them. I really don't know what they are facing today and what they really, really need and I really do want to be able to pray exactly for them and what they really need but I don't know but God does and my praying for them can still make a major difference for them even if I don't know exactly what they need. Prayer makes a difference.

The same is true as I sit down to write an encouraging word for you personally today. I don't really know what you need to hear today but God does and as I have been drawn to Proverb 13:12 I know that this is what you might need to hear today because God's Spirit has prompted me. Yes, "Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around."

None of us really know what others are going through but God does and it is so amazing that I can sit here at this table at Aspire Coffee in Las Vegas, Nevada and be connected with you by God and his word and it is exactly what you need to hear today. God knows exactly what you are going through and he really cares and he really wants to connect with you and encourage you. 

David writes in Psalm 133:1, "How wonderful, how beautiful, when brothers and sisters get along!" Satan our enemy wants us to be alone with no connection to others and especially to God. He wants us to be unrelented in our disappointments. He doesn't want us to have that good break that will turn our life around. Yes, we really do need each other. God knows what we need. And he knows we need each other and so does Satan. 

So why not stop and pray Proverbs 13:12 and maybe even reach out to someone and ask them to pray this Proverb with you. 

The New International Version says it this way, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." Lisen, that longing could be from God. Just stop and believe that he is working in and through you and then do your part to do it.

Why don't you stop and say to God, I am tired of living with no hope. My life isn't hopeless and I have this longing in my heart. If it is from you, God, deepen it. Show me what to do. I am going to start looking for and believing that there is a sudden good break for me that will turn my life around. Thank you, God for showing me that I am not alone. 

So, just reach out to God and maybe someone else. Remember, "Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around." So look for it and believe that you're not alone and that God is working at turning your life around. 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 ...
