Tuesday... It can sometimes be so hard to see but it is there.

Psalm 36:10 (NLT), "Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts."

Tuesday... It can sometimes be so hard to see but it is there.

Here is what David writes in Psalm 36:10 (NLT), "Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you; give justice to those with honest hearts." Now, let's say that God does that but do we see it? For so many the answer is no. Yes, it may be hard to see but I want you to know and see that it is there. It really is.

Now the Devil and his crowd want us to not see it. But he is the greatest lier of all time. I mean, he believes that he is greater than God. But he isn't.

I am looking out at beautiful trees. There are so many different greens. Just saying they are green doesn't really describe it. That is God's love. The rain we had the last couple of days, cleaned our air. That is God's love. The sun that shines and the moon that comes out at night is God's love.

Verses 5-7 says, "Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O Lord. How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings."

So many don't see that.

Now we can look at Jesus on a cross and see injustice and it was the greatest injustice that has ever happened. But we also can see unfailing love.

I love the thought that everything that happens to those who serve God must go through his love. The Devil throws all of this evil at us to discourage us, to harm us but it must go through God's love and he changes it's purpose from bad to good.

Yes, it can be so hard to see but it is there, God's unfailing love is there.

David also prays in verses 11-12 (AMP), "Do not let the foot of the proud [person] overtake me, and do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away. There those who [are perverse and] do evil have fallen; they have been thrust down and cannot rise." And verse 10 says, "O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness (salvation) to the unright in heart."

We do have a choice here. Yes, there is evil and yes there is unfailing love.

Verses 5-6 in The Message says, "God's love is meteoric, his loyalty astronomic, his purpose titanic, his verdict oceanic. Yet in his largeness nothing gets lost; Not a man, not a mouse slips through the cracks." Yes, his unfailing love is being poured out on those who love him. Believe it and see it so you can experience it! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

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...

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...
