daily prayer

Great morning! How are faithing? It is so wonderful to have a faith and a belief system from God's Word for us to live by and to learn from. Things go on in life that just smack us up side the head and we wonder why they ever even happened. As I grow older physically my mind feels the same as it always has. Of course we learn more every day but have you really thought about that? Have you set yourself in your habits and ways of doing things so deeply that any change just throws you for a loop? Do you find yourself so abhorring diversity and change that you end up mad all the time? Yeah, I've caught myself doing it too. I've changed a zillion fan belts in my day and I saw a video of someone changing one in such a slick manner that it made me see that I still can learn something even as rudimentary as belt changing. Point is that learning never stops. On this same line of thought there are some things that are just the way they are and they don't change, or do they? Gravity is constant unless you are in space or on the moon. The principles are the same but the application varies. The one truth that never varies and is constant on earth and in the heavens is God and our salvation. One question is asked and determines where we are in eternity. Jesus the Christ, son of God and through him our only way to the Father, or not. A yes means eternity with him, a no means an eternity without him. The world argues this truth and is set in it's way and view towards this truth as it has since time began. This learning thing we just discussed remains true in the worlds eye, as long as that learning ignores God. Wow, they missed the mark on that one...

Phil 3:7-11
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.
NIV

Remember the Capital City Christian Church's Haiti mission and all the rescue efforts...remember Becky Blair's family...remember Matt and Lisa Madsen...remember Ben Handzel...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your wisdom that teaches us daily. Lord help us have an outlook and desire to learn. Lord we lift up those in pain and ask for a miraculous healing this day. Bless those who are lost and those who are seeking truth. Open the eyes of this nation to your wonderful grace and love and let these people know you are with us, in Jesus name, amen
