Tuesday... He really does use people, He really does.


Psalm 24:1 (AMP), "The earth is the LORD's and the fullness of it, the world, and those who dwell in it."

Tuesday... He really does use people. He really does.

Yes God does. Over in Psalm 24:1 (AMP) it says, "The earth is the LORD's and the fullness of it, the world, and those who dwell in it." We are here for a purpose.


God created this world for us and then Proverbs 24:3-4 says, "Through [skillful and godly] wisdom a house [a life, a home, a family] is built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation." Again He wants to develop and uses us.

And then over in Matthew 14:14a (NLT) it says, "Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat." And verse 19, "Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people." Now there was Jesus and His twelve disciple and over 15,000 people who had become were very, very hungry so they fed them.

Now this is the only story that you will find in all four of the gospels. Yes the twelve saw the miracles that Jesus did by himself but here was a miracle where they were involved. They were a part of an unbelievable miracle. Jesus used them and verse 20 says, "They all ate as much as they wanted, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers."

This past week we found out that my brother, Larry had a major life taking heart problem so they put him in the hospital and of course we all started praying. He started in one hospital and then he was taken to another one in another town. Now in that hospital God brought a surgeon into the situation. He definitely was a God send. It was a very long week and yesterday was a very long day of surgery that ended in a third hospital. God used this man. And my brother Larry has come through a very, very difficult day. God has used and will continue to use this Surgeon.

Now the Doctor was not in the first Hospital in Bartlesville, Oklahoma but he was in the hospital in Tulsa and he went with him to the next hospital in Tulsa. And Larry has made it through. It has been a miracle by God through this Surgeon and his team.

Yes, we give praise to God and put our faith in Him but He does want to use us. He has brought us into this world to be used by Him

Yes, we need God but he also wants to use us. Thank you so much God for working though Dr. Phillips. And working through me as I share Your Word for today. Oh and He also wants to use you! Yes, He wants to develop us for a purpose. 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 ...
