Thursday... We just don't always know.


Psalms 77:19 (NLT), "Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters - a pathway no one knew was there!"

Thursday... We just don't always know.

We think we do but we really don't but we can stop and remember by looking back.

Psalms 77:19 (NLT) says, "Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters - a pathway no one knew was there!'" We just don't know it all.


So what is it you are facing and you have no idea what to do?

The writer of Psalms 77 in verses 1-3 said, "I cry out to God; yes I shout. Oh, that God would listen to me! When I was in deep trouble, I searched for the Lord. All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven, but my soul was not comforted. I think of God and moan."

Verses 9 says, "Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he slammed the door on his compassion." It can be so easy to blame God.

Verse 10, "And I said, 'This is my fate; the Most High has turned his hand against me.'" And that can be such an easy place to stay, but.

Verse 11 says, "But then I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago. They are constantly in my thoughts, I cannot stop thinking about your mighty works."

Yes, the Holy Spirit is constantly striving to remind us of what God has done and for us to remember His wonderful deeds of long ago. This is where reading the Bible on a regular basis is so important. As we read the Bible the Holy Spirit is filing what we will be needing. Let me say that again, as we read the Bible the Holy Spirit is filing what we will be needing.

And verse 19 is a great reminder of the spot that the children of Israel were in and they didn't know where to turn. It says, "Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters - a pathway no one knew was there!" I love that, "a pathway no one knew was there!"

There was no way that going through the middle of the Red Sea instead of being killed or captured by Pharaoh's surrounding army was an option but God is in the impossible never thought of idea business. It definetly was "a pathway no one knew was there." So in our situation maybe it is a good thing to turn to God and have His Spirit remind us that He has a way that we probably haven't thought of to get us out of our situation. In other words, "a pathway no one knew was there!"

We just don't always know but He does. We serve an unbelievable God. Nothing is impossible to Him. We just need to stop and be reminded of all He has done and remember His wonderful deeds.

He may have "a pathway no one knew was there!" 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...
