Tuesday... Yes they do, they speak without a sound.



Psalm 19:3-4 (NLT), "They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone through out the earth, and their words to all the world."

Tuesday... Yes they do, they speak without a sound.

God knows what we need to see and hear.

I love the Bible. It is such a great place to spend some time but God words come through in other ways.


Every morning after I have gotten ready for the day I open all the shades in our living and dining room and kitchen. The light needs to be let in after the dark of another night.

I had awakened this morning with some despair and after opening the shades and letting the sun come in I turned to Psalm 19 and started reading. And here is what it says in verses 1-4 (NLT), "The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 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 throughout the earth, and their words to all the world."

Yes the Bible is a great place to see what God is saying but it also is so good to look out and up and all around and marvel at what God says without speaking a word.

No matter what we are going through, the God who created all that is around us can take care of what we are going through. We just need to open up and let his light into our lives. 

Verse 6 says, "The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat." Verses 5-6 in The Message says, "The morning sun's... an athlete racing to the tape. That's how God Word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, melting ice, scorching deserts, warming hearts to faith." And God's Word wamed my faith this morning.

God knows what we need each morning as we wake up. 

Verses 7-9 says, "The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together. The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road. The life-maps of God are right, showing the way of joy. The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes. God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold, with a lifetime guarantee. The decisions of God are accurate down to the nth degree."

I also this morning read this in James 5:13 (NLT), "Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises." And then verse 16b says, "The prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results." And opening our shades at the beginning of a new day will help to remind us without words who is all around us and to whom we can turn to. Verse 16b in The Message says, "The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with."

Yes, God knows what we need to see and hear. So, let's look up and out and all around and listen as God speaks without a sound. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
