Monday... Why? Why?


Monday... Why? Why?

Here it is, another Monday, another new week. So, how is it starting, how is your week going?

Some would say, Psalm 42:4a (NLT), "My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be." And then we ask, verse 5a, "Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad?" Maybe that is where you are. Verse 7 says, "I hear the tumult of the raging seas as your waves and your surging tides sweep over me."

And verses 9-10 says, "'O God my rock.' I cry, 'why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppresses by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, '"Where is this God of yours?"'" Maybe that is where we are.


Then, then 5b-6a says, "I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God!" The Message says, "Fix my eyes on God - soon I'll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He's my God. When I'm in the dumps, I rehearse everything I know of you." 

Verse 8 (NLT) continues, "But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives life."

And then verse 11, "Why am I so discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God!" Why am I? Why am I? I will! I will!

So let's answer our why? with I will! 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...
