Wednesday... Just a word that we need to hear today.

Psalm 75:3 (AMP), "The earth and all the inhabitants of it melt [in tumultuous times]. It is I who will steady it's pillars."

Wednesday... Just a word that we need to hear today.

God knows what we need to hear but we must be open to hear it. There is so much out there that gets out attention but we need to hear this in this time in which we are living.

So, how is what we are seeing all around us affecting us? Well, here is a word from God that we need to hear.

Psalm 75:3 (AMP) says, "The earth and all the inhabitants of it melt [in tumultuous times]. It is I who will steady it's pillars." The NLT says, "When the earth quakes and its people live in turmoil, I am the one who keeps it foundations firm."

Over in Zechariah 3:1-2 (NIV) it says, "Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him, The Lord said to Satan, 'The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?'" The Message says, "Everything is going up in flames, but I reach down and pull out Jerusalem."

Satan for sure is the accuser and in difficult times he is right beside us condemning us. Yes, he is the great accuser but God continues to share with Zephaniah. Verses 3-4 (NIV), "Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, 'Take off the filthy clothes.' Then he said to Joshua, 'See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.'"

It is so easy for us to listen to the wrong voice and in these times, Satan wants our message to be words of accusation. We are so good at pointing figures but God has a different approach. He wants us to be pillars. He wants to reach down and to share the message that God wants to take us out of our filthy clothes and take away our sins and put fine garments on us.

We need to get out of sharing the message of the accuser and see what God is wanting us to do. We have a tremendous opportunity during these tumultuous times to be pillars and not let the fires melt us.

Psalm 75:9-10 (NLT) says, "But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. For God says, 'I will break the strength of the wicked, but I will increase the power of the godly.'" God want us to be pillars in tumultuous times, He want us to show that he is keeping our foundation firm even in difficult times.

Verse 1 says, "We thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near. People everywhere tell of your wonderful deeds." That is our message in tumultuous times. 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...
