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

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 ...
