Monday... The wonders that happen!


Genesis 37:6 (NLT), "'Listen to this dream.' he said."

Monday... The wonders that happen!

Now the Bible is amazing. It really is. I am now on a daily basis reading the first book in the Bible, Genesis, the middle book, Psalms and the last book, Revelation. It really is amazing.

Today in Genesis 37:6 (NLT), I read, "'Listen to this dream.' he said." The he was Joseph and he had 11 brothers who hated him. He was his dad's favorite and his dream was that someday they would worship him. And of course that would make us angry but as you read on we see how the dream is fulfilled.


And that is what the Bible does.

Now the last book, Revelation shows how God will fulfill his plan, his dream. Now a lot happens between these two books.

In Revelation 18:10b it says, "How terrible, how terrible for you, O Babylon, you great city! In a single moment God's judgment came on you." Babylon represents the evil in the world. Such as what Joseph's brothers did to him.

In the final chapter of the Bible, in 22:12-14 we read, "Look I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life." If you go back to the beginning of Genesis you will see that this was God's plan, his dream but our representatives didn't do what he said, they blew it. But it didn't stop God!  

Now Psalms is a link right in the middle. I read today in Psalm 66:5-7, "Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him. For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance." And Joseph had a hand in the Red Sea story.

Again "Come and see what our God has done." and what he will do. Yes the wonders that have happened, that are happening and will happen are written in the Bible. 

Psalm 66:1 says, "Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is." Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
