1 Chronicles 28:20
Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don't be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God my God , is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.
Feeling out of sorts and weary, thinking how to format and focus SS lesson on chap7
It is pointless to know God's boundaries and prescriptions for purity
When we refuse to deal with the fact that we have fallen really short of God's requirements. We are using the world's ruler to measure ourselves and not God's ruler
Struggling to bring home the point otherwise it is no point in putting our impurity mildly. What kind of impurities. A few kinds. Impurity in thought, word and deed.
God help us imbibe your values. Pray we really want to clean out the 'web-sites' in our bodies
1 Chronicles 10
The death of King Saul
Saul's unfaithfulness was both active and passive.; He not only did wrong, he also failed to do right. He actively disobeyed by attempting murder, ignoring God's instructions, and seeking guidance from a witch. He passively disobeyed by neglecting to ask God for guidance as he ran the kingdom. So God killed him and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse
Obedience, too, is both passive and active. It is not enough just to avoid what is wrong; we need to actively pursue what is right.
I thought I can run away and not stick to my QT routine last night.
After all I have done my best for the week
I am tired I am weary I deserve rest (Give me a break like a young punk might say)
I felt a bit like Jonah running away to something less burdensome
I shall catch up with my current reading on 'Experiencing God' by Henry Blackaby
I came to the bookmarked page..........
Chap4 Being God's Servant. It continues " To be involved in God's work, you must be a servant." , so much for bolting from my blues to a bolt out of the blue.
Dear Lord I need strength and encouragement.
I prayed that God will lift me up
We take Titus' instructions srsly. I kept it in my pencil case.
YFM Theme for 2009 Making a Difference
Titus said we could pray about anything, and expect God to work
So I wrote 2 words on the purple sticky and put it in my pencil case
I would like God to Strengthen and Encourage me
After YFM today, I went home fatigued
It rained and I felt very sorry for Eunice
She arrived late drenched every inch poor dear
Anyhoo God's blessing came
In the form of a very well baked bread pudding
lovingly done by Amos in my absence
I wouldn't be able to cook like this
not in my lifetime
I experienced God in a very physical way
God sent bread to strengthen me
And amos' initiative to feed us encouraged my heart
Feels much like Elijah when the ravens brought him
bread and meat. 1Kings 17:6
Bread Pudding baked by Raven Amos
It tastes as good as it looks.
