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

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...

Friday... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...
