Monday... We take so much responsibility on ourselves and others


Psalm 118:23-24 (NLT), "This is the Lord's doing, and it is wonderful to see. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it."

Monday... We take so much responsibility on ourselves and others.

Do you realize that God has made today, he has made this Monday? We look at situations and blame ourselves for what has happened. But "This is the Lord's doing." Now the response to it is our doing.


So how do we start this day that the Lord has made? Verse 1 says, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." But it is so easy to play the blame game. This day is my fault, this day is their fault. And yes, how we view it has a lot to do with our response to this day.

Again, "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." And "This is the Lord's doing, and it is wonderful to see." and "This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it."

And the way we start each day shows our high opinion of ourselves and others.

Verses 5 & 6 says, "In my distress, I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?"

So let's get our view of this day in the right perspective.

Verses 8-9 says, "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust people. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes." Or Republicans and Democrats. We put a lot of credit and blame there, don't we?

Verse 14, "The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory." So let's reach out and take it.

Verse 22 says, "The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone." This verse refers prophetically to Jesus the Messiah, but the ancient rabbis interpreted it as a reference to David. And that is a big difference. Let's get with it and put our trust in Jesus. And then verse 23, "This is the Lord's doing and it is wonderful to see." Our life is to be based on God through his son, Jesus our Messiah.

Verses 28-29 says, "You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever."

So that is how we start this day that he has made. Now it is very important to have a relationship with him to reap the benefits. So please give him your life, right now! 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...

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 ...
