Friday... He knows, he really does know.


Genesis 6:8 (NLT), "But Noah found favor with the Lord."

Friday... He knows, he really does know.

And that is so important for us to know and understand. Yes, God knows, he really knows.

It seems here in the beginning days of Genesis that God became sorry that he had ever made humans. Genesis 6:5 (AMP) says, "The Lord saw that the wickedness (depravity) of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination or intent of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually" So God decided to start over and he found this one guy. Verse 8 (NLT) says, "But Noah found favor with the Lord." The Amplified Bible says, "But Noah found favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord." And verse 22 (NLT) says, "So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him." 


And God did start over through this man, Noah and his family. He did it with a flood and an Ark that God had commanded him to build. And he built it exactly as God told him. 

Now God also made a rainbow to let us know that he won't do a flood that covered the earth, again. That was a one time occurance.

Now King David writes in Psalm 36:1-2, "Sin whispers to the wicked deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God at all. In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are." But God knows and he whas consequences. Now the book of Revelation tells of a different way that God will bring justice on the earth.

But look at this. Verses 5-6 says, "Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike." Back on that Ark that Noah built to save them, God had him bring two of each kind of animals. God knows what he is doing. 

David continues in verses 7-9, "How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your delights. For you are a fountain of life, the light in which we see."

And then David asks in verse 10, "Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts." God knows, he really knows and he rewards.

And then 1 John 5:1-3 says, "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And anyone who loves the Father loves his children, too. We know we love God's children if we love God and obey his commandments. Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome." And then verse 4 says, "For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve the victory through our faith."

And God knows, he really does. And we will achieve the victory through our faith, 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 ...
