Friday... It can be easy or difficult.


Psalm 146:6b (NIRV), "He remains faithful forever."

Friday... It can be easy or difficult.

It all depends upon what is happening now. It really does.


Let's say you are in a very difficult situation. Things are just not going the way you want and then the answer comes and you can relax. Now it is easier to believe Psalm 146:6b (MSG), "He remains faithful forever." after, than it is before but it is so important to believe it before and then be thankful after. Yes it is so important to spend time reading God's Word and definitely being thankful for what He does in our lives because it reinforces our faith in those difficult times.

Verses 5-6 says, "Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help. Blessed are those who put their hope in the LORD their God. He is the Maker of heaven and earth and the ocean. He made everything in them. He remains faithful forever."

"Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help."

"Blessed are those who put their hope in the LORD their God."

Who do we depended on? Who do we put our hope in?

Verses 3 & 4 says, "Don't put your trust in human leaders. Don't trust in people who can't save you. When they die, they return to the ground. On that day their plans come to nothing."

My dad was my hero. He was awesome. But there was a day when I got that call that said he had been in an accident and was killed. That was a very difficult time for me. But God was there as he always has been. My dad was a example to me on who to put my hope in and who to depend on.

The Amplified Bible translates verses 5-6 this way, "How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel), Whose hope is in the LORD his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever."

Now it is so important for me each morning to start my day reinforcing the fact that God is in my life. I do that by starting my day thanking Him for what He did for me and my family the day before and praising Him for who He is and then reading His Word. From there I then ask Him for specific needs in my life and my family.

The thanking Him and reading the Bible reinforces my belief that He is faithful in my life and strengthens my faith and hope and belief that I can depend upon Him.

Now it is easier to believe in the good times and difficult to believe in the bad times. And that is why being thankful and reading God's Word is so important.

We need to always remember, "Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help. Blessed are those who put their hope in the LORD their God. He is the Maker of heaven and earth and the ocean. He made everything in them. He remains faithful forever."

Just an important truth for today. Yes, He remains faithful. 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...
