Friday... There can be unrest.


Psalm 119:133 (AMP), "Establish my footsteps in [the way of] Your word; Do not let any human weakness have power over me [causing me to be separated from You]."

Friday... There can be unrest.

Yes, there can be.

Now the importance of it depends upon where it comes from.


I as a child moved all over the place so moving is in my blood. Yes, moving can come from unrest but it is so important where the unrest comes from.

Now at my age moving is not an easy thing to do and that can be a good thing. It keeps me settled.

So, unrest can be a good thing or a bad one. Depending on where it comes from. Now, Psalm 119:133 (AMP) is a very good prayer for us to pray. It says, "Establish my footsteps in [the way of] Your word; Do not let any human weakness have power over me [causing me to be separated from You]." That is so good. Yes, unrest can be a human weakness but also a way for God to speak to us and to establish our footsteps in the way of His word.

The Message Paraphrase says, "Steady my steps with your Word of promise so nothing malign gets the better of me."

Verses 143-144 (NLT) says, "As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands. Your laws are always right; help me to understand them so I may live."

Now God's Spirit can bring unrest in us. And we must not pass it off. A big portion of our moves have definitely been from God. Our move back to Vegas was definitely a God thing. But there was also a time that we moved from Vegas all the way to Long Island in New York and that was also a God thing. But the two times we came to and came back to Vegas and the moving from Vegas had some long times of seeking where the unrest came from. And we have found that they came from God.

I have found that it is imperative to start my day in prayer and in my Bible. Yes, God wants to speak to us and He wants us to speak to Him and sometimes He does it through unrest but also our self and the evil one speaks through unrest. Yes, we must bring our unrest to God and to search through His word.

So, we can know from where it comes. Remember to pray, "Establish my footsteps in [the way of] Your word; Do not let any human weakness have power over me [causing me to be separated from You]." And that is today's encouraging thought from God's word for you and definitely for me. 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 ...

Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see.

Psalm 3:3a (NLT), "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me." Wednesday... It is amazing what we can see. And what we see does make such a difference in our day. Now David, he writer of Psalm 3 starts this Psalm this way. He says in verse 1 (NLT), "O Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me." Yes, he is saying this to the LORD, the one he serves. Verse 2 says, "So many are saying, 'God will never rescue him!'" And that is so true with that outlook. So many of us get out of bed with that outlook every morning. It is amazing what we can see. Now I woke up this morning and eventually found myself outside on my couch with my Bible and I read this outlook in verses 1-2 from David. But I didn't stop there and neither did David. But that is an easy place to stop, isn't it? And it is true. Yes, David didn't stop there. Verses 3-4 says, "But you, O LORD, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I...
