Psalm 34:3 (NLT), "Come let us tell of the Lord's greatness; let us exalt his name together." Wednesday... It is such a tremendous, life giving book. It really is. The Bible is such a tremendous book. It is a life giving book! I have for years read three chapters each day and I am reading right now in the books of Genesis, Psalms & 1 John and it is amazing how they connect.  Some pick up the Bible and think that it is a history book. It does tell a lot of history but basically it is a book of His story. It tells about the story of Jesus from the beginning to His coming and dieing and how he has and can made such a difference in our lives if we ask him into our heart and into our lives. It then ends with telling about his second coming. Yes the Bible is His story and how his coming and dieing gives us life at its abundant best. Now let me show you something. In 1 John which is one of the last five books in the Bible in chapter 3 verses 11-13 (NLT) it says, "This i...

Psalm 33:6a (NLT), "The Lord merely spoke." Tuesday... He merely spoke and look what happened! I am sitting here in my daily coffee shop called Aspire and looking out the window on a portion of mountains on the West side of our valley and there are other mountains that surround us. Now our new house is situated so that we can see a big portion of the city of Las Vegas, Nevada in the front which man built and some mountains are out the back which God created. Man can do unbelievable things but it doesn't come up to what God can do. But looking out on those mountains that tower over what man has built and then reading Psalm 33:6a which says, "The Lord merely spoke" is a great encouragement. Verses 6-9 says, "The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. He assigned the sea its boundaries and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs. Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of him. F...

Genesis 2:15 (AMP), "So the Lord God took the man [He had made] and settled him in the Garden of Eden] to cultivate and keep it." Monday... We were created with a purpose in mind. And that is so important for us to realize. Yes, a relationship with God has so many benefits but one of them is not to sit back and let God do it all for us.  Genesis 2:4b-5 (NLT) says, "When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil." Verse 7 says, "Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person." But then here comes verse 15 (AMP), "So the Lord God took the man [He had made] and settled him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it." Now understand that this was all before sin came into the...
