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

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...
