Monday... And that is a good place to not be wobbly.

Psalm 18:33 (NLT), "He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights."

And that is a good place to not be wobbly.

And I have times when I am wobbly. But as Psalm 18:33 (NLT) says, "He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights." And that is a good place to not be wobbly, isn't it?

The Amplified Bible says this verse this way. It says, "He makes my feet like hinds' feet [able to stand firmly and tread safely on paths of testing and trouble]; He sets me [securely] upon my high places."

But it is so easy to just be looking all around and not notice that rock or that step that is right ahead of us and if we are not looking and being wobbly it can mean that we fall flat on our faces. I know that from experience. And in times of testing and trouble we need to be sure footed, we need to be standing firmly. And it can be a good thing to be hand in hand with someone who is sure footed.

Now times of testing and trouble can make us wobbly, can't they?

Verses 35-36 (NIRV) says, "Lord, you are like a shield that keeps me safe, Your strong right hand keeps me going. Your help has made me great. You give me a wide path to walk on so that I don't twist my ankle."

The Amplified Bible says, "You have given me the shield of Your salvation, and your right hand upholds and sustains me; Your gentleness [Your gracious response when I pray] makes me great. You enlarge my path beneath me and make my steps secure, so that my feet will not slip."

We don't need to twist our ankles and be wobbly. God can be our shield of salvation and His gentleness and gracious response when we pray can enlarge our path so that our feet won't slip. So, reach out and trust Him. 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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
