Tuesday... This is so important for us to know!


Proverbs 30:5 (NIRV), "Every word of God is perfect. He is like a shield to those who trust in him. He keeps them safe."

Tuesday... There is so important for us to know!

In looking back on this year there is no way that we knew that this was where we were going to be at the end of this year. This was not in our plans for right now.

These verses caught my attention as I was reading this morning. Proverbs 30:1-2 (NLT) says, "The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh contain this message. I am weary, O God; I am weary and worn out, O God. I am too stupid to be human, and I lack common sense." The phrase, "I am too stupid to be human" caught my attention. Do you ever feel that way? No, most of the time we think we are really smart, that we know it all. We know what we are doing. We know what is best. No way am I stupid.


We can be so confident in ourselves. The Message says, "The skeptic swore, 'There is no God! No God! - I can do anything I want! I'm more animal than human: so-called human intelligence escapes me." Yes, there is so much for us to know. Yes, there is a God and he has a plan for our lives.

We so many times think that we can do anything we want. We know how to be a success. So many do not believe there is a God, they believe in themselves. And the truth is, that is stupid. That may be harsh but it is true.

Proverbs 30:5 (NIRV) says, "Every word of God is perfect. He is like a shield to those who trust in him. He keeps us safe." Verses 5-6 in The Message says, "The believer replied, 'Every promise of God proves true; he protects everyone who runs to him for help. So don't second-guess him, he might take you to task and show up your lies."

This is so important for us to know. Yes, "he protects everyone who runs to him for help." But so many second-guess him."

It would be so easy for us to do that this next year but we haven't. We have spent too much time in our lives trusting in God and his timing so we are facing 2026 with confidence. He knows what he is doing in our lives. Yes, "Every word of God is perfect. He is like a shield who trust in him." and then it says, "He keeps them safe." And that is so true even when our lives are going through great changes, we know, God will keep us safe. He already is.

This for sure is so important to know, "Every word of God is perfect. He is like a shield to those who trust in him. He keeps them safe." Just give him your life. Put your trust in him! God knows what he is doing. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit?

Nehemiah 6:16b (NLT), "They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Tuesday... I wonder what would happen if we didn't take the credit? Over in the Old Testament in the book of Nehemiah it tells of a major task that through the leadership of Nehemiah was accomplished. The walls of Jerusalem had been torn down and God had laid it on Nehemiah to build those walls back up. It was definitely an almost impossible task but Nehemiah 6:15-16 says, "So on October 2 the wall was finished - just fifty-two days after we had begun. When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God." Now, we so many times want to take credit for doing the impossible. It would make such a difference for us. But I wonder what would happen through us if God got the credit? Psalm 96 tells us what we are to do. Verses 2-3 says, "Sing to the LORD; praise his name. ...

Thursday... Maybe we need this word today.

Psalm 57:1b (NIRV), "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Thursday... Maybe we need this word today. There are words in life that give us confidence no matter what we are facing. Now we have to believe them in order for them to have an impact. David wrote Psalm 57 while he was in a cave hiding from Saul who wanted to kill him and he says in the last part of verse 1, "There I will stay." It was a safe place and Saul didn't know that he was there. But he doesn't stop there. With confidence he said, "There I will stay until." And until is definitely a word of faith and confidence. "There I will stay until the danger is gone." Do we need that today? Let me give you the whole verse. In verse 1 David says, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." And that is a great place to start in times of trouble. Maybe that is what we need to pray today, "Have mercy on me, God. Have mercy on me." It is so great to have someone...

Tuesday... We just have trouble listening.

1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." Tuesday... We just have trouble listening. Over in Jeremiah 25:4 (NLT) it says, "Again and again the LORD has sent you his servants, the prophets, but you have not listened or even paid attention." And Jeremiah went on to tell what was going to happen. There will be consequences if we do not listen to what God says through his Word. Now the Apostle Paul over in 1 Corinthians was having a problem with some professed Christ followers who were having trouble at listening. And we too can have problems at listening. We can think that being a Christ follower means we do a lot of finger pointing and we give up on people who don't do what we say. We can even do that in our families. But Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:7 (NLT), "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." In verse ...
