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

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...
