Monday... When we see and consider the comparison.


Psalm 8:3-4 (AMP), "When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established, what is man that you are mindful of him and the son of [earthborn] man that you care for him?"

Monday... When we see and consider the comparison. 

Our city, Las Vegas is it seems a bowl with mountains all around it and man has done so much with this bowl.

Our daughter called us last night and said for us to go out and look up at the moon. It was fantastic. Now we live a little higher on this bowl and we have a great view of what man has built and what God has created. There is no comparison. Yes man has done wonders but in no way does it compare with what God has done.


Now man has built great buildings but we have also created great chaos. This is an evil city. It is so easy to live in fear. Man is not God. They think they are but they aren't and seeing what man has built and what God has created is a good thing to consider and compare.

David in Psalm 8:3-4 (AMP) says,"When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established, what is man that you are mindful of him and the son of [earthborn] man that you care for him?" But he is and He does. He loves us. He even gave His Son for us. but we think we can do it all on our own. Yes it is amazing what man and woman can do on their own but it doesn't come close to what we can do with God.

Yes, looking out on our front patio we can look down at what man has done and also look up at what God has done and compare.

Now consider this. Verses 3-8 (NLT) says, "When I look at the night sky and see the works of your fingers - the moon and the stars you set in place - what are mere mortals that you should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority - the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents."

Yes it is amazing what man has done but it is also really amazing what we could do with God not without Him. Yes, consider what God could do and wants to do in and through us. 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...
