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

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...

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... 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...
