Our Father Laments for Us 2day!

 Psalm 81 shines light on us as we drift away and chase other god's and idols.  Today's chaos looks rather similar to the issues discussed in the chapter. Take a little timeout today, listen and test it.  See what it says to you, and may our trading day be fruitful.

When that choir starts singing and that chorus rises
That old preacher preaches setting souls on fire

Night Driving running from our Father!

 I was gifted me the Audible book "Trading in the Zone" and it has been a true blessing for growing my skills and self control in trading.  After joining Audible, I came across this book "Night Driving: Notes of a Prodigal Son" by Chad Bird that was gifted to me by a Pastor friend that I never knew he had shared (it was over 2 years ago).

The book hit me square between the eyes and I share it with you. May the Lord bless and keep us knuckleheads, So-B-It! Amen!

How to LoVe, God's way!

 

UR Word:

The Way of Love

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

• Love never gives up.💘
• Love cares more for others than for self.💘
• Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.💘
• Love doesn’t strut,💘
• Doesn’t have a swelled head, 💘
• Doesn’t force itself on others,💘
• Isn’t always “me first,”💘
• Doesn’t fly off the handle,💘
• Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,💘
• Doesn’t revel when others grovel,💘
• Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,💘
• Puts up with anything,💘
• Trusts God always,💘
• Always looks for the best,💘
• Never looks back,💘
• But keeps going to the end.💘

Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled. When I was an infant at my mother’s breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good. 

We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. -1 Corinthians 13:1-13

My Prayer:

Father, U know that growing up I was introduced to a broken definition of love. Thank U 4 giving me UR example of what true love looks like.  I ask that the Holy Spirit fill my heart and mind so that I can follow UR example and share UR love with myself, my wife, and my children. 

#ThanksB2UOLord  So-B-It! Amen!  💘

#SaintandSinnerSimultaneously #Christianity #Church #Christians

Father, RECHARGE me each day!

 

UR Word:

The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death. 17 Whoever heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. 18 Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips and spreads slander is a fool.  -Proverbs 10:16-18

My Prayer:

Father, I come B4 U 2day 2 recharge N UR light & N UR Grace, Thank U!  Please shine UR light on UR path 2 eternal life. Buffer & protect me from wandering off N2 the darkness of this world.  Give me discipline & focus 4 this journey each day. And guide my tongue and heart so that I represent U with respect and honor! 

#ThanksB2UOLord  So-B-It! Amen!  

#SaintandSinnerSimultaneously #Christianity #Church #Christians

Embrace HIS faithful LOVE!

 

UR Word:

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.  -Jeremiah 31:3

My Prayer:

Father, help me to understand what an everlasting love looks like! Even our best examples of love fall short of UR everlasting love! Light my path 2 understanding and embracing U 2day! 

#ThanksB2UOLord  So-B-It! Amen!

Newsboys In the Hands of God

We have raised our hopes and our cities high

We have followed fragile dreams

But only one could take the measure of our goals

And we've stumbled over the trials of life

And we've wrestled the unseen

And only One can calm the storm inside our souls

In the hands of God we will fall

Rest for the restless and the weary, hope for the sinner

In the hands of God we stand tall

Hands that are mighty to deliver givin' us freedom

When our strength gave way to the weight of guilt

'Til we strain for every breath

Only One could lift our shame and make us well

And when all is finished and we face the fearsome power of death

Only One has overcome the gates of hell

In the hands of God we will fall

Rest for the restless and the weary, hope for the sinner

In the hands of God we stand tall

Hands that are mighty to deliver givin' us freedom

You're amazing, You're amazing, You are

You're amazing, You're amazing, You are

And we praise You, Lord for what Your hands have done

You're amazing, You're amazing, You are

In the hands of God we will fall

Rest for the restless and the weary, hope for the sinner

In the hands of God we stand tall

Hands that are mighty to deliver givin' us freedom

You're amazing, You're amazing, You are

You're amazing, You're amazing, You are

And we praise You, Lord for what Your hands have done

You're amazing, You're amazing, You are
