Thursday... It does, it really does make sense.


Thursday... It does, it really does make sense.

Look at what Psalm 119:73 (NLY) says, "You made me, you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands."


Now the problem here is that so many don't believe the first part. Our culture is doing all it can to do away with the fact that Genesis 1:1 is true. They say it doesn't make sense.  And so they are living their life all on their own. And they have the right to do that. But I have put my trust in God's Word and it says in the first book of the Bible in Genesis 1:1 that, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" and everything on it and around it. And that is why that first verse in the Bible is so important and why Psalm 119:73 makes sense.

Because he made me, created me then it makes sense that he has the right to ask me to follow his commands. And it also makes sense why culture wants to annihilate that fact. They want control, they want to tell us what to do, they want to command us to do what they want us to do. It has been a major battle from the beginning.  

Now verse 78 is an important verse. It says, "Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me; meanwhile I will concentrate on your commandments."

In between 73-78 the writer says, "May all who fear you find in me a cause for joy, for I have put my hope in your word. I know, O Lord, that your regulations are fair; you disciplined me because I needed it. Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant. Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your instructions are my delight."

Now if that doesn't make sense to you and your life it seems is a mess, why not give it a try. You may find that it really does make sense. Yes, God wants to surround his creation with tender mercies so we may live, really live. That was and still is his plan. 

Again, the writer says in verse 73, "You made me, you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands." And then verse 77, "Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your instructions are my delight." Now that makes sense, it really does. 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
