Good morning! How are we faithing? It is interesting and fun to discuss various views on biblical history. How Jonah actually got in the whale and what kind of whale was it? Consider Noah's ark, how did all species get on board in time? Was shoveling out the ark an all day thing? What did Jesus look like? How did people who met Jesus or the apostles first react? Man, just the calendar, time and festivals - feasts alone can make one's head spin when trying to understand from a modern perspective. The cool thing is that while all those kinds of things are interesting, they have no bearing on God's love for us that he sent his son so he could commune with us. The love he has for all is spelled out in that while we were all dead, Jesus made us alive in him. I can't imagine anyone living in denial of this and be optimistic. Life would look quite futile when viewed from the perspective of no God. The Word spells out life and love for us. We are in a constant state of learning about life and love also. Remember as this day unfolds, God loves you and gives a hoot about you. Search for his grace to guide your mouth and to guide your actions. Any other way can turn sucky in a hurry...
Rom 12:1-5
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your intelligent service. And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith. For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office; thus we, being many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.
remember Bob Burnsmier and Anna Benton...Deanna Keuhl...remember Carla and Keith Phillips...remember Janet Weary...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love for us. Thank you for your grace that saves a lot like us. Lord we ask for blessings and wisdom that we act according to your ways. Teach us to be clean and trustworthy. Break our addictions and desires that harm us and others. Lord we want to see you in a new way this day. Make us see truth no matter the circumstances. Help us control our minds to not fall for the accuser. In Jesus name, amen
