Tuesday... He can and he does!


Psalm 113:6 (NLT), "He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth."

Tuesday... He can and he does!

There are many out there who look down on people around them because they believe they are better than everyone else. They live, it seems with their nose up in the air. But not God.

Now God is better than everyone else and he does look down on us but for a different reason. Yes, Psalm 113:6 says, "He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth." But he stoops to look down because he cares about what is happening in our lives, and he is looking to take care of our needs. The whole fact that he sent his son to earth not as a prince which he was but as a baby says so much about him, it tells so much about God.


Now the Psalmist goes on. In verses 6-8 he says, "He stoops to look down on heaven and earth. He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people!"

Yes, there is so much that God can and does do. He can and wants to make a difference in our lives. The Message says, "He picks up the poor from out of the dirt, rescues the forgotten who have been thrown out with the trash." That is not someone who looks down on us with his nose in the air, is it?

So let's celebrate the fact that God sent his son to earth to make a difference in our lives. Yes, he reached out first to shepherds with the news of Jesus birth. They were very common people and then he also reached out to Wise Men from the East. God cares about each one of us. And He can and wants to make a difference in each one of our lives.

Yes, "He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth." And verses 6-8 says (NIRV) "He raises poor people from the trash pile. He lifts needy people out of the ashes. He causes them to sit with princes. He causes them to sit with the princes of his people." Yes, Jesus his Son is a prince. 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 ...
