Today's Verse : 2 Corinthians 9:11

November 25, 2007

VERSE:
You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous
on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in
thanksgiving to God.
-- 2 Corinthians 9:11

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Corinthians+9:11

THOUGHT:
As we examine our blessings and give thanks to God for his
wonderful grace, let's ask why God has blessed us so much. Let's
also remember the primary spiritual principle that God made clear
in today's Scripture and also in his call to Abraham in Genesis
12:2: God's people are blessed to be a blessing. Let's make sure we
are not just recipients of God's blessings. Let's commit to be
conduits of those blessings to others.

PRAYER:
Thank you, generous Father, for giving your many lavish gifts to
me. Open my eyes to see how I can pass on those blessings to those
around me. As I share the blessings you have so richly given me,
may others find their greatest blessing of all -- your loving grace
-- and give thanks to you! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================

Thanksgiving and Walking the Boundaries, by Larry Davies

There is an annual custom in Switzerland called "walking the bound."
Everyone in the village takes a ceremonial walk around the boundaries
so they can check the markers. Afterward there is a celebration to
express gratitude for the blessings handed down to their community.

What a great way to enjoy Thanksgiving! Check your boundaries, line up
the markers and celebrate.

What are the boundaries of your church? How do you practice your faith?
If someone were to walk inside your church doors, what would they
discover? Does your church practice what it proclaims?

One study of successful churches discovered five ingredients common to
all of them:

1. The central focus is on prayer.

2. A strong emphasis upon Bible study.

3. Consistent lay testimony and involvement.

4. There is concern for the needs of others.

5. All of the members are in ministry.

Paul once gave this advice to a young preacher named Timothy:

Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives' tales.
Spend your time and energy in training yourself for spiritual
fitness. Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise
is much more important, for it promises a reward in both this life
and the next. This is true, and everyone should accept it (1
Timothy 4:7-9 NLT).

A church should pursue spiritual growth, ministry and leadership.

According to Paul, every church should emphasize "training for
spiritual fitness." How is your church doing? Obviously, I don't know
the answer but I can give you a few examples.

Emphasize spiritual growth:
There are many Christians looking for answers or looking for a Bible
study, a support group or prayer group. Offer a wide variety of
opportunities to strengthen people's faith whether they are just
beginning their Christian journey or well along the way.

Seek to be in ministry:
Are you involved in a ministry or serving on a committee? Replace your
many committees with teams, each with an emphasis on ministry: Here are
four examples -- see also the lists of spiritual gifts in the New
Testament for other ideas (Romans 12:3-8 for example).

1. Congregational Care includes prayer, health concerns, and
visitation.

2. Nurture includes Sunday school, Bible studies and age-level
ministries.

3. Ministry and Missions includes your ministry in the community and
around the world.

4. Administration keeps your church building, staff and finances
running smoothly.

Promote spiritual leadership:
Voting usually means somebody wins and somebody loses. Spiritual
leadership means helping everyone listen to the voice of God.
Experiment with basing decisions on consensus so that everyone has the
opportunity to contribute and everyone listens.

Offer continual encouragement:
Good churches welcome new ideas wherever they appear. Great churches
create a contagious enthusiasm of involvement and encouragement. Foster
an atmosphere of "spiritual boldness" believing if you are doing God's
will, anything is possible.

Specialize in comfort:
Ships lost in stormy seas seek light from a lighthouse to guide them to
the safety of the harbor. When visiting our church, you may notice
lighthouses everywhere to reflect our mission statement: "A Light to
Guide You Safely Home." We pray you will find comfort here.

Include fun and fellowship:
How often does your church offer a meal? Are there celebrations being
planned? Do you know how to have fun? Is joy a regular part of your
time together?

A church should pursue spiritual growth, ministry and leadership while
offering an atmosphere of encouragement, comfort, fun and fellowship.
Well, we've walked the boundaries and checked our borders and hopefully
discovered a lot to improve and much to be thankful for. Now, let's
celebrate!

Morning & Evening -- Isaiah 33:21 and Proverbs 24:33,

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, November 24, 2007

MORNING:

"The glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and
streams."
-- Isaiah 33:21

Broad rivers and streams produce fertility, and abundance in the land.
Places near broad rivers are remarkable for the variety of their plants
and their plentiful harvests. God is all this to his Church. Having God
she has abundance. What can she ask for that he will not give her? What
want can she mention which he will not supply? "In this mountain shall
the Lord of Hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things." Want ye
the bread of life? It drops like manna from the sky. Want ye refreshing
streams? The rock follows you, and that Rock is Christ. If you suffer
any want it is your own fault; if you are straitened you are not
straitened in him, but in your own bowels. Broad rivers and streams
also point to commerce. Our glorious Lord is to us a place of heavenly
merchandise. Through our Redeemer we have commerce with the past; the
wealth of Calvary, the treasures of the covenant, the riches of the
ancient days of election, the stores of eternity, all come to us down
the broad stream of our gracious Lord. We have commerce, too, with the
future. What galleys, laden to the water's edge, come to us from the
millennium! What visions we have of the days of heaven upon earth!
Through our glorious Lord we have commerce with angels; communion with
the bright spirits washed in blood, who sing before the throne; nay,
better still, we have fellowship with the Infinite One. Broad rivers
and streams are specially intended to set forth the idea of security.
Rivers were of old a defence. Oh! beloved, what a defence is God to his
Church! The devil cannot cross this broad river of God. How he wishes
he could turn the current, but fear not, for God abideth immutably the
same. Satan may worry, but he cannot destroy us; no galley with oars
shall invade our river, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

EVENING:

"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the
hands to sleep: so shall thy poverty come as one that
travelleth; and thy want as an armed man."
-- Proverbs 24:33,

The worst of sluggards only ask for a little slumber; they would be
indignant if they were accused of thorough idleness. A little folding
of the hands to sleep is all they crave, and they have a crowd of
reasons to show that this indulgence is a very proper one. Yet by these
littles the day ebbs out, and the time for labour is all gone, and the
field is grown over with thorns. It is by little procrastinations that
men ruin their souls. They have no intention to delay for years-a few
months will bring the more convenient season-to-morrow if you will,
they will attend to serious things; but the present hour is so occupied
and altogether so unsuitable, that they beg to be excused. Like sands
from an hour-glass, time passes, life is wasted by driblets, and
seasons of grace lost by little slumbers. Oh, to be wise, to catch the
flying hour, to use the moments on the wing! May the Lord teach us this
sacred wisdom, for otherwise a poverty of the worst sort awaits us,
eternal poverty which shall want even a drop of water, and beg for it
in vain. Like a traveller steadily pursuing his journey, poverty
overtakes the slothful, and ruin overthrows the undecided: each hour
brings the dreaded pursuer nearer; he pauses not by the way, for he is
on his master's business and must not tarry. As an armed man enters
with authority and power, so shall want come to the idle, and death to
the impenitent, and there will be no escape. O that men were wise
be-times, and would seek diligently unto the Lord Jesus, or ere the
solemn day shall dawn when it will be too late to plough and to sow,
too late to repent and believe. In harvest, it is vain to lament that
the seed time was neglected. As yet, faith and holy decision are
timely. May we obtain them this night.

My Utmost For His Highest : "Direction Of Aspiration"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

November 24, 2007

DIRECTION OF ASPIRATION

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of
their masters ... so our eyes wait upon the Lord our
God.

Psalms 123:2

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ps+123:2&sr=1

This verse is a description of entire reliance upon God. Just as the
eyes of the servant are riveted on his master, so our eyes are up
unto God and our knowledge of His countenance is gained (cf. Isaiah
53:1. R.V). Spiritual leakage begins when we cease to lift up our
eyes unto Him. The leakage comes not so much through trouble on the
outside as in the imagination; when we begin to say - "I expect I
have been stretching myself a bit too much, standing on tiptoe and
trying to look like God in stead of being an ordinary humble person."
We have to realize that no effort can be too high.

For instance, you came to a crisis when you made a stand for God and
had the witness of the Spirit that all was right, but the weeks have
gone by, and the years maybe, and you are slowly coming to the
conclusion - 'Well, after all, was I not a bit too pretentious? Was I
not taking a stand a bit too high?' Your rational friends come and
say - Don't be a fool, we knew when you talked about this spiritual
awakening, that it was a passing impulse, you can't keep up the
strain, God does not expect you to. And you say - Well, I suppose I
was expecting too much. It sounds humble to say it, but it means that
reliance on God has gone and reliance on worldly opinion has come in.
The danger is lest no longer relying on God you ignore the lifting up
of your eyes to Him. Only when God brings you to a sudden halt, will
you realize how you have been losing out. Whenever there is a
leakage, remedy it immediately. Recognize that something has been
coming between you and God, and get it readjusted at once.

A PRECIOUS PROMISE

Philippians 3:8

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Philippians+3:8

Dear Father, Keeper of all your promises,

You have promised: "Be faithful unto death and I will give you a
crown of life." Thank you for such a precious promise! You are so
gracious to me!

Help me to count everything as loss for the surpassing worth of
knowing Christ Jesus as my Lord. For his sake I would gladly suffer
the loss of all things - at least I hope I would - and count them
as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him.

Father, you know my heart. You know that I don't want a
righteousness of my own based on self-sufficient rule-keeping, but
one which comes from trusting Christ.

I want the righteousness that you provide when I commit myself to
your trustworthy care.

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

WJD! -- It Won't Be Left Standing! -- Luke 21:5-7

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / WHAT JESUS DID! --

http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, November 24, 2007

It Won't Be Left Standing!

Some of the followers were talking about the temple. They
said, "This is a beautiful temple, built with the best
stones. Look at the many good gifts that have been offered to
God!" But Jesus said, "The time will come when all that you
see here will be destroyed. Every stone {of these buildings}
will be thrown down to the ground. Not one stone will be left
on another!" Some followers asked Jesus, "Teacher, when will
these things happen? What will show us that it is time for
these things to happen?"

-- Luke 21:5-7 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus has three powerful messages about standing firm in the troubles
of life. The first message has to do with the Temple, while the other
two can be found in the following verses. Jesus' point is that no
matter how beautiful, the Temple in Jerusalem will be destroyed and
left in a rubble heap -- earthly temples made by hands will not and
cannot last. Our finest and most holy buildings won't last forever.
Jesus wants us to know that we must invest ourselves in what is lasting
and be ready for him when he returns in his glory.

TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy God, give me the wisdom and the courage to invest myself in your
Kingdom and things that last. Help me see those areas of my life where
my heart is too attached to things that are not lasting. In Jesus' name
I pray. Amen.
