Friday.... They are far beyond what we can imagine.


Isaiah 55:8 (NLT), "'My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the Lord. 'And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine."

Friday.... They are far beyond what we can imagine.

We as an extended family are Disney people. My dad and mom took my sister, Connie and me to Disneyland the year it was opened. My wife, Margaret and I have had annual passes at both Disneyland and Disney World and so have our kids.

The company of Disney has these creative engineers who come up with all the ideas for what to build. They are called Imagineers, I love the creative name. For a time one of our granddaughters thought about becoming an Imagineer but she is now off to other tremendous opportunities that God has imagined for her.


Now I found a verse over in Isaiah about the greatest Imagineer of all time. Isaiah 55:8 (NLT) says "'My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the Lord. 'And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine." Yes, all the ways that the Lord has imagined are way beyond what we could imagine could happen, are happening and will happen.

We really cannot imagine what God has imagined for our lives. He created us with a purpose in mind that is way beyond what we can imagine.

Again "'My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the Lord. 'And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine." Verse 9 continues, "For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts."

So what are you facing today? Please, please, please connect with the greatest Imagineer of all times. We really can't imagine what his ways of doing in our life are. And verse 3 says, "Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen to me, and you will find life." Two important words, "come" and "listen."

Then verse 6 says, "Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him while he is near." Again two more words, "seek" and "call"

Verses 10-11 says, "The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it." And he has sent it to us today.

Again "'My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the Lord. 'And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine." So let's come, listen, seek and call. We can believe in him but can't really imagine what he can do. So let's give God our life and follow him and see what will happen. Yes, yes! #todaysbginning

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 ...
