Monday... It can be better.


Psalm 91:2-3 (MSG), "Say this, 'God, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm safe!" That's right  - he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards."

Monday... It can be better. 

It really can!

When we are going through difficulties, through pain, we don't usually see that it can be for our good, there is something better ahead. We can only see what is happening right now. 


But we need to believe and do this. Psalm 91 (MSG), "Say this, 'God, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm safe!' That's right  - he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards."

I had a friend sit down ths morning at my table at my coffee shop and tell me that she found out that her boy friend cheated on her and that it really hurt. She thought he might be the one.

Yes, there can be hidden traps in our life. It could be that person who seems like the right one. Or that house you really want or that job that you didn't get. Yes, " he rescues you from hidden traps." But I know they are the right one or that job is perfect for me but "he rescues you from hidden traps."

Hebrews 11, the faith chapter says in the last verse, verse 40 (NIRV), "That's because God had planned something better for us. So they would only be made perfect together with us." 

Again, "Say this, 'God, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm safe!' That's right  - he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards." And Hebrews 11:40-41 (NLT), "All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised. For God had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us."

Yes, life can and if we have put our trust in God will be better. "Say this, 'God, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm safe!' That's right  - he rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards." "For God had something better in mind for 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 ...
