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 use 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 with the Ressurection 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

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 ...

Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute.

Proverbs 19:2 (NLT), "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." Friday... It is so exciting but wait a minute. This time of the year is so exciting. We get our paycheck from work and then we head to the store or Amazon and buy and buy and buy all those presents and then our check is gone Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) says, "Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes." But buying gifts can be so much fun and seeing how happy they are when opening those presents makes us feel so good. But then verse 3 says, "People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then they are angry at the Lord." Now for some that is their life. They get money and they spend it on their wants with no thought of what needs to be paid. An important lesson that we have learned is just because you have money in the bank doesn't mean you must spend it. But our enthusiasm takes over. But the problem is when it is gone and there is no money to pay th...
