Thursday... They are glorious and majestic and it seems everlasting.


Psalm 76:4 (NLT), "You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains." 

Thursday... They are glorious and majestic and it seems everlasting.

We live in a town where the buildings are unbelievable but every once in a while they want them torn down so they explosed them. It is quite a sight. But I live right across the freeway from a very beautiful hill that has been there for a long, long time.



Now the city of Las Vegas is surrounded by hills and mountains that are unbelievable but in no way do they compare to God.

The writer of Psalm 76:4 (NLT) says, "You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains." Now the You is God who created those glorious, majestic and everlasting mountains. And man has no chance in building anything that compares to them.

I love sitting out on our back patio and looking at the hill across the freeway especially when the sun is shining on it. It is breathtaking. Now it isn't the largest but each one behind it gets larger and larger and more beautiful. If you have ever seen Red Rock Canyon you know what I mean. Also, we still have snow on Mt Charleston. Yes, we are surrounded by hills and mountains.

Over in Luke 9:28-35 it tells of Jesus taking Peter, James and John up to this mountain to pray and suddenly Moses and Elijah from the Old Testament appeared and began talking to Jesus. That was unbelievable but Peter it says in verse 33b, "not knowing what he was saying blurted out, 'Master, it's wonderful for us to be here! Let's makes three shelters as memorials." God may have had a full cast of people from the Old Testament ready to come but Peter minimized what was happening.

Verse 34 said, "But even as he was saying this, a cloud overshadowed them, and terror gripped them as the cloud covered them." Then verse 35 says, "Then a voice from the cloud said, 'This is my Son, my Chosen One. Listen to him.'"

So many times God wants to show us who he is and who Jesus is but it is so easy for us to minimize what God is striving to do.

Again, Psalm 76:4 (NLT) says, "You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains." Yes, let's take some time and stop and hear God speak to us through what he has done and who he is.

We are within a days drive from so many wonders that God has created. Let's not minimize who he is and what he does and has done and will do.

Yes, "You are glorious and more majestic than the everlasting mountains." Yes, yes" #todaysbeginning

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 ...

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...
