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...

Tuesday... Each one of us see and describe what we are going through differently but... We each one have our own way of explaining what we are going through, don't we?  Some of us are maximisers, other are minimizers and neither one is better. We each one are different and we see what we are facing differently but no matter what it is and how you see it and describe it, God can handle it!  Now the writer of Psalm 46 shows the extremes. In verse 1 he states the basic reality and then he moves on into our fears and he maximizes them to make sure we really understand. Here is what Psalm 46:1-3 (NLT) says, "God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!" So what do you fear? The Amplified Bible says verse 1 this way, "God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], a very presen...

Wednesday... It didn't just happen.

Psalm 16;10 (NLT), "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." Wednesday... It didn't just happen. We are headed into a weekend of deep emotion. One that we really really love was killed and it didn't just happen. David in Psalm 16:10 (NLT) writes of this happening. He says about God, "For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave." We read over in the Gospels at the beginning of the New Testament in the Bible of the life of God's Son who came to earth to be our sacrifice so that our soul would not be left among the dead. Jesus came so that we wouldn't have to be buried at death and just left there. But he also shares that Jesus who was going to be killed as a sacrifice for our sins would not have to rot in a grave. David many generations before foretold this and that is what happened. Now that had to be a God thing. We can guess a lot about our future and we d...
