Monday... He knows what he is doing. He really does.


Monday... He knows what he is doing. He really does.

Proverbs 19:2 (NIRV) says, "Getting excited about something without knowledge isn't good. It's worse to be in a hurry and miss the way." And we are in such a hurry, aren't we? But of course we see life in a different way than God. We think we know it all.


Verse 8 (NIV) in Psalm 79 says, "Do not hold against us the sins of past generations; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need." And we want whatever it is that we want, we want it now because we are in desperate need. The NLT says, "for we are on the brink of despair."

And then back to Proverbs 19:3, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry with God." The Message says, "People ruin their lives by their stupidity, so why does God get all the blame." The Amplified Bible says, "The foolishness of man undermines his way [ruining whatever he undertakes]; Then his heart is resentful and rages against the Lord [for, being a fool, he blames the Lord instead of himself]."

But God knows what he is doing and we need to be ready, we need to trust him.

Paul in his letter to the Galatians in 2:1 (NLT) says, "Then fourteen years later I went back to Jerusalem again, this time with Barnabas; and Titus came along too." And then he says in verse 2a, "I went there because God revealed to me that I should go."

Yes, we may be in a hurry, we may be in despair, we may have something to say but God want to be in control of the when. And he knows what he is doing. 

Proverbs 19:21 says, "You can make many plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail." Verse 23, "Fear of the Lord leads to life, bringing security and protection from harm." The Amplified Bible says, "The fear of the Lord leads to life, so that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil." And 2 Timothy 4:18 (NLT) says, "Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen."

Yes, he knows what he is going. He really does. Now there is a lot of prayer and growing in there. So give him your life and follow and trust him. 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 ...
