Hello all.
Please forgive the lateness. I will get right to it... (you'll have to read Peter's Picks Morning and night to catch up) :D
Something to Think about
- People are funny!
- We study, read, to go higher in your field, looking for those with the best instruction
- We practice
- When you get good, you tend to draw a crowd (scholars, inspirational speakers, Jesus...)
- We work to make income, then we spend more, having to work more...
- There has to be more to life!!
- 1 King 4. Solomon was wealthy and wisest!! You'd think with credentials like that people would flock... but the Bible wasn't well read.
- Solomon come to the conclusion that everything is meaningless. That God is behind everything, and we must keep His commandments.
- The problem is, people don't listen to the right people/experts!
- Discipleship... apprenticeship!
- Faith without works is dead... do you 'practice' your faith?
- We need to read, study and start doing... what we need to prosper in the world.
** I'm trying to find the True Discipline poem read. I will forward at a different point.
The Message ~ Pastor Caroline
-Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT): "O Lord, hear me as I pray; pay attention to my groaning. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for I pray to no one but you. Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.'
- We need to PRAY; in the am, at sunrise
- 'All we can do is pray' is not a cop-out, because it's the most powerful commodity!
- Sometimes I pray then look for a solution and find that He's already working it out.
- 'He's on it' as Amy says :)
- Entrust God with your prayers, claiming the victory... We need to PRAISE
- There's HEALING
- Isaiah 40:31; 'But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.'
- We can get burned out... sometimes bitterness and resentment settle in.
- But wait on the Lord, praying for strength... learn NOT to feel guilty... accept your limitations... search for wisdom... take time to mend in your healing.
- FAMILY
- Joshua 24:15; '... But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.'
- How do you earn such love and honor from family?
- LOVE
- In calamity He brings clarity
- He wants to counsel us and instruct us
- 1 Corinthians 13:13; 'Faith, Hope and Love; but the greatest of these is love'
- Love usually grows over time
- Sharing kindness build love
- FAITH (faithfulness)
- Psalm 89:8
- Keep praying for you family; ne of these times, there will be a breakthrough.
- Like flying, you could panic through turbulence, OR you can get comfortable and trust the pilot... You can't go anywhere anyways
- Give God the chance to minister to those you love
- This is how MHM began; building a church in us.
- As we reach out, His love abounds
- When we stay faithful... He's faithful.
- Speak into others to grow them
- When you're on your knees, you are closer to God.
Just a few tid-bits from God's heart.
Cheers
Heather
