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

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...
