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

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 ...
