Friday... We want to be ready.


Psalm 143:8 (NLT), "Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk for I give myself to you."

Friday... We want to be ready.

We have no idea what is ahead but God does. So we need to spend time with Him to get ready.

King David writes in Psalm 143:8 (NLT), "Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk for I give myself to you." And a Psalm every morning is a great place to start.


You see, we need to know today that we are loved with an unfailing love. The Evil One knows what we need so he does all he can to keep us from getting it.

I think one of the real bad things about Covid was that we couldn't be close to each other. I mean, we couldn't even get a hug.

At the beginning, my wife and I both got it but Margaret was in the hospital and I couldn't be with her. That was so difficult. We couldn't be together and for sure we couldn't give each other a hug. Yes we need to know we are loved. It makes all the difference in our day.

Yes, we need to hear and we then need to trust. We need to hear there is someone that we can really trust. I have problems driving on freeways. Everyone is in a race and no way do I trust them. On a personal basis, unfailing love is what trust is built on. I know that I can trust God because I know He loves me. He really does and I need that reinforced in my day. And so do you.

And from that we need to believe that He will show us where to walk and also when to run. That is where unfailing love and trust come in. "Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you." And then verse 9, "Rescue me from my enemies, LORD; I run to you to hide me."

Yes, we need to know where to walk but also when to run and who to run to.

"Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk for I give myself to you. Rescue me from my enemies, LORD; I run to you to hide me."

Now that is the way to be ready to start our day. Oh and without a doubt we need to give our self to Him! 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 ...
