Monday... Yes, there is so much more.


Psalm 77:11-12 (NLT), "But then I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts; I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works."

Monday... Yes, there is so much more.

We can be going through situations and in the early morning be awakened with our problems and we just can't go back to sleep.

The writer of Psalm 77:2 (NLT) says, "When I am in deep trouble, I search for the Lord. All night long I prayed with hands lifted toward heaven, but my soul was not comforted." Have you ever had that happen to you. It has a lot to do with our focus.

Up early

Now life does have great troubles in it but it also has a mighty God who has a plan, who has a way that is holy.

Back when Jesus, God's Son was on the earth people found out that He could heal so they came to him to take care of their temporary situations. Yes, Jesus took care of those situations but He came to do more. He had a message to share, a message that would go beyond their problems here on earth. The message was why God sent him to earth. His miracles were temporary but his message was eternal.

Now in these times of deep trouble we search for God to take care of the problems. But deep problems are the way the Evil One keeps us in deep anguish and off track and why our soul is not comforted but there is so much more.

Verses 11-12 (NLT) says, "But then I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts; I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works."

He goes on. Verses 13-14 (AMP) says, "Your way, O God, is holy [far from sin and guilt]. What god is great like our God? You are the [awesome] God who works [powerful] wonders; You have demonstrated Your power among the people. You have with Your [great] arm redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph."

There is more to God than just taking care of our problem. He has a way that is holy [far from sin and guilt]. And it isn't just to take care of our problems. This life is just temporary. And His way is eternal. And we need to keep that in mind. "Your way, O God, is holy [far from sin and guilt]." And "You have with Your [great] arm redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph." That is why Jesus came to this earth.

You understand his healing was temporary, everyone of the people Jesus healed died physically. But his message of redemption was eternal. "Your [great] arm redeemed Your people" That is why Jesus came. That is His message. Yes, there is so much more. 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 ...
