Friday... Let's go to One who knows.

Proverbs 20:12 (AMP) says, "The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the [omnipotent] LORD has made them both." The all-knowing LORD knows what He is doing. He really does.

Verse 13 says, "Do not love [excessive sleep, or you will become poor; open your eyes [so that you can do work] and you will be satisfied with bread." Yes, our all-knowing God knows what he is doing. Our body which he has created does need sleep but at some point we need to open our eyes even in retirement. I open my eyes at 5:50 am each morning and here I am writing today's blog.

Now the hearing ear, over in Mark 4:23, "Jesus says, 'If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear and heed my words.'" That is great advice.

Jesus goes on. Verse 24 says, "Then He said to them, 'Pay attention to what you hear. By your own standard of measurement [that is, to the extent that you study spiritual truth and apply God's wisdom] it will be measured to you [and you will be given even greater ability to respond - and more will be given to you besides.'"

He goes on in verse 25, "For whoever has [a teachable heart], to him more [understanding] will be given; and whoever does not have a [yearning for truth], even what he has will be taken away."

By the way, He even gave us our heart.

Every time in the morning before I start reading my Bible, I pray, "Open my eyes to see and open my ears to hear." Let's go to the One who gives and who knows. He will make all the difference in our lives if we use what He has given us.

Yes, let's go to the One who knows and who is the only omnipotent, all-knowing LORD. Let's not waste what He has given us. 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...
