Psalm 61.2
In the Christian life it’s good to know we have a God Who is greater than anything we can imagine!
Even us...
So often we look down... We look around... We wonder how things could be better… We ask, “What are the ‘options’”.
So often we try to plan, anticipate, prepare for “something” to happen...? Then it does and - “LOOK OUT!!!” Maybe it wasn’t what we wanted!
But, for all that God has for us, in this life, for all of life’s “excitement”, it’s always good to know it’s all about Him and for Him.

Proverbs 15.29
The heart of someone who knows the Lord, a right heart, will know that it needs to put in the effort… the study to have an answer!
The Christian life requires us to make time, take time and give time to study – which is a battle:

Proverbs 11.30
Having a heart for others, especially those without Christ, is not always something that just comes “naturally”. It is not easy!
Certainly there are times we are burdened for particular people. There are times when our hearts go out to them, or we feel the frustration of people wandering aimlessly into Eternity without Christ. But often we are busy or distracted toward the need of the lost - their need to be “saved” (Acts 16.30), to be “born again” (John 3.7), to “pass from death unto life” (John 5.24).

Proverbs 8:21
Cause what …an accident? That word “cause” makes me think along those lines. “That person was careless and they caused an accident.”
It sounds bad.
Or it sounds like someone is being MADE to do something, “For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16 or from Jeremiah 19.7, “I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies...”
That sound really bad!

Psalm 27.1
That word: “is...”, that little word with just two letters, “is...”
“The LORD is...” What exactly should it mean to us?
Well for me, it’s sometimes very important that I realize “The LORD is...”
Yes, the LORD was, and He always will be. The LORD God, our Lord Jesus Christ is Eternal. It’s one of His attributes. And it’s an amazing attribute! He has always been, and He will always be, and right NOW He IS!!!
And right NOW I really need to know that!
Right now…

Jeremiah 4.22
We read this verse in Jeremiah and it sounds like a very good verse of scripture doesn’t it, “they are wise to do...”?
It sounds like everything is going the way it should! It seems like these people have it all together, and “they” have some “wisdom”, and “they” are “doing” something! It sounds great. It sounds positive. It seems they have confidence in what they are doing! Thank the Lord for people who are doing something!!!
So, what are they wise in doing?

Genesis 24.27
Have you ever felt like you were just - “in the way”?
Life bustles this way and that way and you’re neither here nor there, you’re just “in the way”!
Sometimes that is exactly where we need to be - as born again Christians - “in the way”!

1 Samuel 17:40
This was David facing Goliath. He had turned down the offer to use King Saul’s armour and weapons. Instead, he chose weapons he had tested when he faced a lion and bear protecting his father’s sheep.

Psalm 127.3
Below is a comparison between raising children and bamboo… I found it very interesting!
Did you know that there is a certain type of bamboo that only flowers once every 120 years?
It's certainly puzzling how this plant can keep track of time, but everything 119 years before it germinates will determine how much the bamboo will bloom. And that's a long time to wait to see the results.

Hebrews 11.19
Someone once said, “To realize the worth of the anchor we need to feel the storm.”
Thank God for the men and women of the Bible who gave testimony to that very REAL TRUTH!
In fact, are there any people we can think of in the Bible who DID NOT feel the storm then HAVE OPPORTUNITY to realize the worth of the ANCHOR?
Many were tested – but refused the Anchor…
But EVERYONE who did the “Accounting” found “that God was able”!!!
