Wednesday... They knew it to be true.


Genesis 18:14a (AMP), "Is anything too difficult or wonderful for the Lord?"

Wednesday... They knew it to be true.

Now Moses was the writer of the first 5 books of the Bible and he wrote something in Genesis 18:14a (AMP), something that he knew to be true. It is so amazing what Moses knew to be true. He wrote here in the first part of verse 14, "Is anything too difficult or wonderful for the Lord?"


Now another writer, the writer of the last book in the Bible also knew it to be true. He was with Jesus while he was on earth and he was there when he was crucified and he was one of the first to be at the tomb to see that he was resurrected and he also saw Jesus as he went up to heaven to be with his Father. And here in Revelation 5:6 he writes, "And there between the throne (with the four living creatures) and among the elders I saw a Lamb (Christ) standing, [bearing scars and wounds] as though it had been slain, with seven horns (complete power) and with seven eyes (complete knowledge), which are the seven Spirits of God who have been sent [on duty] into all the earth." John had the privilege of seeing and experiencing what had happened and seeing and experiencing what is going to happen and Moses and John wrote it down for us to read.

John wrote in verse 9b "Worthy and deserving are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slain (sacrificed), and with Your blood You purchased people for God from every tribe and language and nation." He is writing here of Jesus and what His sacrifice meant for us. 

They knew what they wrote to be true and they have shared it with us in the Bible.

Another writer wrote in Psalm 48:9-10 (NLT), "O God, we meditate on your unfailing love as we worship in your Temple. As your name deserves, O God, you will be praised to the ends of the earth. Your strong right hand is filled with victory."

The writers of the Bible knew what they wrote to be true. And we can know it too! We can know and believe and experience the fact that God's love is unfailing, we can know and experience that nothing is too difficult for God and that God has complete power and complete knowledge and His Son's sacrifice through His blood purchased us for God. And we can each one of us can know that to be true.

As Jesus through John says in Revelation 3:20-22 (NIV), "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches." 

We just need to open the door of our heart to Jesus and then we also can know and experience God's power and unfailing love and victory. We too can know it to be true! 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...
