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

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 ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
