Tuesday... Our reactions can be different at different periods of our life.


Proverbs 17:27 (AMP), "He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words, and a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, and even temper)."

Tuesday... Our reactions can be different at different periods of our life.

Now Proverbs 17:27 (AMP) says, "He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words, and a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, and even temper)."

One things about being 78 going on 79 is to be able to see life through experience and hopefully with wisdom and knowledge. That of course can come from a life with Christ and spending time in His Word.

But time doesn't always make a difference in a positive way.

Verse 28 says (NLT), "Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent." I love that.

But at different periods of life we have different needs and responses.

Now I am fighting through this time of my life with remembering and it can be too easy to take that personally. And that is not always a good thing, that is not always a wise thing.

Yes, at different periods of life it seems we have different needs and having knowledge and wisdom can be still important. But not being able to remember can cause us to be sensitive and insecure.

Now I have not been through this period of life before and there can be times of insecurity and so our times with God and in His Word with the Holy Spirit can also be really, really needed. Yes, our life is always a life of dependency on God.

And yes this is my goal at my age, "He who has knowledge restrains and is careful with his words, and a man of understanding and wisdom has a cool spirit (self-control, and even temper)."

And that can be true of all of us in our reactions at different periods of our life. Yes, I have never lived, I have never had experience at this time of life and that is why I spend time with God because He knows what is ahead. Verse 24 (NLT) says, "Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fools eyes wander to the ends of the earth." And then verse 12, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength."

Yes, no matter where we are in life, we need God and His knowledge and wisdom. We need Him! Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

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 ...

Friday... So what is it that you really fear?

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT), "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Friday... So what is it that you really fear? Yes, fear holds us back. It seems to take hold of us so that we can't even really enjoy living. Now I have found that one of the best ways to handle fear is to solve the problem of what we fear. Let's say that death is what we really fear. Everyday we wake up afraid to get up because we are afraid to do anything because we are afraid to die. And that is so understandable. Now I have found the solution to fearing death. I have through faith taken care of my fear to die. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) says, "But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ." Verse 22 (CEV) says, "Adam brought death to all of us, and Christ will bring life to all of us." Death was not God's plan. Adam was created for an eternal life but he and his partner, Eve blew it and sin a...
