Monday... We can try! Yes, we can try!

 

Psalm 145:3 (NLT), "Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness."

Monday... We can try! Yes, we can try!

We can on a Monday morning try to measure His greatness. Yes , we can try.


But Psalm 145:3 (NLT) says "Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! No one can measure his greatness." We can try but we can't do it. We really can't.

The Amplified Bible says, "Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised, and His greatness is [so vast and profound as to be ] unsearchable."

David starts this Psalm in verse 1 (MSG) saying, "I lift you high in praise, my God, O my King." Yes He is God and He is a King and David who wrote this Psalm was also a King but not a King like God. 3b says, "There are no boundaries to his greatness." There are no boundaries.

Verse 3 in the NLT says, "Great is the Lord!" And that description means we are to serve Him, we are to surrender to Him and that is so important for us to understand . He doesn't serve us, we serve Him.

Now verse 8 does say, "The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all creation." But some might say but He isn;'t good to me and I would say that we are to serve Him not Him serving us and God knows what He is doing and just the opportunity to live is such a good thing.

Verse 13 (AMP) says, "Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and Your dominion endures throughout all generations." This life is not the end. His is an everlasting kingdom.

Three times in the garden Jesus prayed for God to change his mind. The part of Jesus which was human didn't want to die on a cross. That wasn't a good thing to the human Jesus but He was obedient to His Lord and God's goodness to all came through.

Yes we must surrender to the Lord. And yes, verses 13b-14 (CEV) does say, "Our Lord, you keep your word and do everything you say. When someone stumbles or falls, you give a helping hand." No, He does not serve me, I serve Him but He is involved in my life. And my obedience definitely has it's reward.

Verse 3 (CEV) says, "You are wonderful, Lord, and you deserve all praise, because you are much greater than anyone can understand." And that is so true. And yes, He is our Lord if we have surrendered our life to Him! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
