Tuesday... We each one view this differently.


Exodus 2:25 (NLT), "He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act."

Tuesday... We each one view this differently.

Now in my maturity of old aged, I have found that we each one view this matter of time differently and I don't really know where it comes from. But I do know this, time is one of the best places for us to show grace. I am one of those who believes that being on time is late and that being early is on time. And now you see where I need to be a grace giver because not everyone has that same slant toward time. But at my age, time is very important and valuable.


Again I say that time is a great place for us to show grace with other people.

Exodus 2:25 (NLT) says, ""He looked down on the people of Israel and knew it was time to act." Now we each one can have problems with time in our relationship with God and trust goes a long way in this area. Are you in a situation where you are waiting on God? 

The writer of Psalm 82:1-2 said, "God presides over heaven's court; he pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings: 'How long will you hand down unjust decisions by favoring the wicked.'" Verse 8 says, "Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you." We really do think we know best, don't we?  Again, this matter of time is a great place for trust and grace. 

It is so important for us to realize that God has a plan. He knows what he is doing. And he knows when it is time to act. 

Now the minor prophet Zechariah had this to say in 7:10, "Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners, and the poor. And do not scheme against each other."  These do nots have some time attached to them. So when he doesn't do anything then we believe there is still time. But verse 11 says, "Your ancestors refused to listen to the message. They stubbornly turned way and put their fingers in their ears." And this is really dangerous. 

Verse 13 says, "'Since they refused to listen when I called to them. I would not listen to them when they called to me,' says the Lord of Heaven's Armies."

It is so important to listen and obey and be patient. When we are waiting on God for something we want that is one thing but when he is waiting on us that is another. Yes, we each one can view time differently but it is so important for us to be sure to trust and obey. God knows what he is doing. 

Yes, God looks down on us and he knows when it is time to act. Again, God knows what he is doing, trust him! 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...
