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

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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
