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... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit?

Nehemiah 6:16b (NLT), "They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit? Over in the Old Testament in the book of Nehemiah it tells of a major task that through the leadership of Nehemiah was accomplished. The walls of Jerusalem had been torn down and God had laid it on Nehemiah to build those walls back up. It was definitely an almost impossible task but Nehemiah 6:15-16 says, "So on October 2 the wall was finished - just fifty-two days after we had begun. When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Now, we so many times want to take credit for doing the impossible. It would make such a difference for us. But I wonder what would happen through us if God got the credit? Psalm 96 tells us what we are to do. Verses 2-3 says, "Sing to the LORD; praise his name. ...

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 ...
