Wednesday... It really does, it really does.

Wednesday... It really does, it really does.

What gets you started every day? I love each morning to go and sit outside on my couch with Turner our dog right beside me and my Bible to read my three chapters and to look up at sky. And the sky is so important to me.

There are three things that gets me closer to God. One is the mountains, another is the ocean and then the sky. I love looking up into the sky. And that was true of David.

In Psalm 19:1 (NLT) David writes, "The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The sky display his craftsmanship." How can a person look up at the sky and its bigness and not believe in God? Now some have an answer to that and I do too. I can't. There must be someone greater than I am that came up with the idea of and created the sky. 

The Amplified Bible says, "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands." 

Paul writes in Romans 1:20-21 (NLT), "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God." No excuse. That's how I see it.

David continues. In verses 2-4 he writes, "Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone out throughout the earth, and their words to all the world." So true, so true.

Now there is no ocean here in the desert but there are mountains that surround us and I am sitting here in my coffee shop looking out at the Spring Mountains and Psalm 121:1-2 (MSG) is one of my life verses and it says, "I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains." "And mountains."

What is it that you are going through today that is way bigger than you. Why not go find a mountain, or an ocean or just look up at the sky.  

"Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone out throughout the earth, and their words to all the world."

Verses 1-4a in The Message says, "God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on display across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, but their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere."

The One who created all of that wants to have a hand in dealing with that problem you are facing and he can handle it. As 121:1-3 says, ""I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from God, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains." So just reach out and cry out to him. It really, really does make a difference. He really does! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning
