Tuesday... He merely spoke and look what happened!


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. For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command."

Yes we have such ability and we can stand back and marvel at what we humans can do but in no way can man create these mountains and the Lord merely spoke and there they were. 

So what are you facing today and does it have you totally in despair and worn out because you are placing your trust in your own ability to handle it and it just isn't happening in the time that you want it to happen? Again verses 8-9 in the Amplified Bible says, "Let all the earth fear and worship the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done: He commanded, and it stood fast."

Now I know that God took his time at creating those mountain out there but he merely spoke and the process was started. And that is what we may need to hear today in what we are going through. Verse 4 (NIV) says, "For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does." He can be trusted!

Verse 11 (NLT), "But the Lord's plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken."

And verses 20-22, "We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone."

Remember, "The Lord merely spoke." He can be trusted! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo...

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...

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...
