Friday... We so many times miss it.

Psalm 19:2 (NLT), "Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known."

Friday... We so many times miss it.

Yes, so many times we miss hearing God speak to us. We just are so busy to hear what He says.

In our last home we had a large fence in our back yard. There wasn't a whole lot that we could see but we could see the sky. Where we live now we can see out over our valley. The nights are great to see all the lights and then the back yard view is filled with mountains so we don't spend as much times looking at the sky.

David writes in Psalm 19:2 (NLT), "Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known." And we so many times miss it.

Verses 1-3 says, "The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard."

In this world in which we live there are so many voices that are crying for our attention. Yes, I know it is important to know what is happening but it is also so very important to connect with God and to revile in who He is and what He can do and has done.

Yes, there is so much happening and so much of it is bad. So, maybe we need to stop for a moment and look up and listen to God encourage us. Yes, "They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard." And verse 4 continues, "Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world."

Our world is so big and God created it but it is so small in all of the Universe and He created that and He loves us and wants us to know that He is involved in our life. Just look up and know that He really does care about you.

Let's not miss it. "Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known." Just look up. That can be a great way to start our day and whenever we are feeling down and alone. 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 ...
