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

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 ...
