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

Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do

Psalm 8:3-4 (NLT), "When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and the stars you set in place - what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them?" Friday... Yes, we need them. We really do. No, not the fact that I can go out my front door and look out at night at the marvels of the sky. I can do that and it is amazing and it takes my breath away each time I see it. Yes, that is a fact but the reality of who did that and the wisdom and the faith that I have to believe that and to marvel that the one who did that cares about me makes such a difference in how I live my life. Yes, God really does. That is so wonderful for us to believe. And that is why faith and wisdom are so important. Now whatever belief you have at how that marvel happened must also be believed through faith. And the sad thing to me is that more and more people have been taught that there is no God and therefore he did not have a h...

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together!

Monday... Three ifs and two thens. They go together! They really do. And this is what caught my attention this morning as I was reading Proverbs 2. Verse 1 (NRSVUE) says, "My child, if you accept my words and treasure my commands within you." Verse 3 (NIV), "Indeed i f you call  out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, Verse 4, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, Verse 5, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God." And verses 9-11, " Then you will understand what is right and just and fair - every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." There will always be some effort we must do, some ifs for the thens to be realized in our lives. So many of us want to understand without the ifs. But the thens are so worth, so very worth the effort. Verses 5-6 in the Ampli...

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless.

Wednesday... Our unless can turn into useless.  It really can. I have found that unless I give the correct email of my wife then I can't get what I wanted. I put an extra i in her email and I have been working for 5 days to get it changed. Unless has been useless. The writer of Psalm 94 uses this word and shows how important it is. Verses 17-19 (NLT) says, "Unless the Lord had helped me, I would have soon settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, 'I'm slipping!' but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer." "Unless the Lord had helped me." So many people go on and on and on striving to live their life on their own but they keep slipping and doubting and living without hope and cheer. Yes the Lord has such unfailing love for us, he really does but unless we have a relationship with him and we turn to him and ask him for help then the unless turns in to useless because h...
