Good morning! How are we faithing? My mind works rather strangely. I watch people and ask questions in my head and then look for answers while praying and singing a song. While this is going on I notice the year car that drove by and hear conversations around me. Gee I need coffee. How we actually learn varies from person to person. What grabs your attention and sets a course for your day is not the same as mine. What reaches you may not reach me today. You may be much more mature in the Lord than me or not. If you study the Word and listen to God's teaching for you, remember that someone else may be learning another lesson and us not understanding why they can't see what is plain to us is a form of judging that we should not get into. When we meet and greet we really ought to have a standing procedure of saying a quick prayer for that person. Nothing eloquent but something that lifts them up. Being in tune with the Holy Spirit's promptings is how this exercise in faith works. Pray every day before you get going to see God's work and to see God's path for you. Let God be concerned for that other guy. Let your eyes be on God and not on others deeds.
1 John 5:13-15
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of him.
NIV
Matt 7:7-8
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
NIV
Remember Paul Griffin...Joe Bailey...Danny and the kids...
Heavenly Father,
We praise your holy name! We ask for wisdom and understanding of the others we meet. Help us be bold and yet aware of their needs and state of mind. Lord, we want to show you and to present your love. Help us do that with a clear mind and with the right motive in our heart. Forgive us when we fail. In Jesus name, amen
