Friday... He speaks in so many ways!


Friday... He speaks in so many ways! He speaks to us, to you, to me in so many ways. Yes he does.

Look at this. Psalm 19:1 says that he doesn't just speak, he proclaims. Now proclaims means to declare something one considers important with due emphasis. Verses 1-2 (NLT) says, "The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known." 

Some would say that he doesn't speak to me. Yes he does, day after day. I am right now looking out at God's creation and through it he is speaking to me. Yes he is. Just stop, look and listen. That's what Brother Lawrence in his book, The Practice of the Presence of God, says for us to do. Just stop, look and listen.

The Psalmist goes on. Verses 3-4 says, "They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yes their message has gone through out the earth, and their words to all the earth."

The Amplified Bible says verse 4 this way, "Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world." 

You see, God's voice is usually a quiet voice. It isn't usually the loud voice. We must stop and focus to really hear it.

I believe in the quietness of my heart that God wanted me to share this with you today. I don't know what you are going through, but he does and he speaks to us in so many different ways. But we must stop, look, and listen.

Now it does say in verse 1 that he proclaims but in order to hear we must stop and look up and then listen as "The heavens proclaim the glory of God." Yes, they do, yes they do. So if you need to hear from God, to know that he is real, to know that he is close to you even through what you are going through then just stop and look up. Just look up and let the wonder and the majesty of the sky proclaim his glory. Yes, there may be some snow coming down or some rain but God is proclaiming his glory or as The Message says it, "God's glory is on tour in the skies." Just stop and look up and listen as it proclaims the glory of God.  

Yes there are so many voices out their striving to get our attention but there is also that still, small voice that wants to speak to you. There is a reason why we have so much noise around us. The world wants to hide God's voice. But it cannot hide God's creation. So just stop, look and listen. He wants to proclaim his glory and display his craftsmanship so that day after day they will continue to speak; night after night they make him known.

Yes, he speaks in so many ways. So let's stop, look and listen. 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...
