Mustard Seed Thoughts: Where We Going Daddy?

ChristWeb.com : Mustard Seed Thoughts
Where We Going Daddy?
By: Ron Edmondson Mustard Seed Thoughts
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Acts 8:1 NIV

�Where are we going, Daddy?�

�We're moving to Samaria.�

�Samaria? But, Daddy, that's so far from home. We don't know anyone in Samaria.�

�We have to go, darling. It is not safe for us here. It will be alright! God will take care of us, wherever we go!�

You can almost hear the discussion now. The church was being persecuted. In these times of a great spiritual awakening, the Christians were, more than ever, under pressure to be quiet about their faith. Running for their own safety, they must have wondered why this was happening. After all, hadn't they just received the �Good News�?

Make no mistake about it, God always knows what He is doing! Wasn't it Jesus who told the disciples to take the gospel into Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and to the outer most parts of the earth? (Act 1:8) How would the people hear of Jesus, unless someone went? Can't you see it was all a part of the plan?

Dear struggling Christian, right now you may be wondering what God is up to. You may even question the wisdom in your situation. Don't be moved. Stand firm in your faith! God does have a plan. Right now, wherever you are, if you are His child, then I guarantee you, you are right in the middle of that plan! He's working all things for an ultimate good.

In the case of today's verse, we only had to wait seven chapters to figure out what God was doing. Wait for Him to work His plan in your life, no matter how long it takes!

Trust Him! He'll get you there!

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


Just Watch the Ball, by Steve Ridgell


I love sports. I enjoy playing them and watching them. I especially
enjoy watching three and four year olds play ball. I remember teaching
my children to play ball when they were young, and now I am watching my
grandchildren start to play ball. After watching preschool teams for
thirty years, I am convinced nothing is as cute, or as frustrating, as
teaching them how to play soccer or baseball.

An airplane passing overhead can bring the whole game to a stop.
Flowers are somehow much more interesting than what is going on in the
game. Friends must be waved at, parents must be located, and outfits
adjusted. Sometimes I wonder if they even realize there is such a thing
as a ball ... much less what its function might be. I have watched
soccer players run up and down the field for an entire game without
once knowing where the ball was. If the other kids ran, so did they. I
cannot count the times a slowly hit ball has rolled past three fielders
and not a one of them even noticed. I have witnessed powerful swings of
the bat that did not come within two feet of the ball -- and the ball
was sitting on a tee. Of course, the batter had his eyes tightly shut.

So here is my coaching advice for preschool soccer and baseball: just
focus on one thing. Do not try to explain strategy, or even all the
rules. Just teach them to watch the ball. They will learn the rest
later. If they do not get this basic principle down, they will never
learn to play well. It works in soccer. If they learn to watch the
ball, they will kick it more often. It works in baseball also. Watch
the ball and you will hit it. Watch the ball and you will catch it. It
is the basic principle in sports. Just watch the ball. Interestingly
enough, that basic principle never changes in sports no matter how old
you get.

The same principle works for learning about Jesus. If you do not know
much about Jesus and his followers, it sure looks confusing. What is
all the activity about, what are all the rules, and is there a strategy
I need to know? Let me encourage you to focus on the one thing that
really matters: Jesus. He died for the things we have done that were
wrong, he was buried, and God raised him from the dead. Focus on that
and the rest will begin to make sense. And if you miss that, nothing
else will ever make sense.

It is hard to follow Jesus when I forget to keep my eye on him.

That is still good advice for those of us who have been following Jesus
for a long time. Focus on the one important thing. Jesus.

Morning & Evening -- Jeremiah 17:17 and Psalms 149:4

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / Charles Spurgeon's MORNING & EVENING http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

MORNING:

"Thou art my hope in the day of evil."
-- Jeremiah 17:17

The path of the Christian is not always bright with sunshine; he has
his seasons of darkness and of storm. True, it is written in God's
Word, "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace;"
and it is a great truth, that religion is calculated to give a man
happiness below as well as bliss above; but experience tells us that if
the course of the just be "As the shining light that shineth more and
more unto the perfect day," yet sometimes that light is eclipsed. At
certain periods clouds cover the believer's sun, and he walks in
darkness and sees no light. There are many who have rejoiced in the
presence of God for a season; they have basked in the sunshine in the
earlier stages of their Christian career; they have walked along the
"green pastures" by the side of the "still waters," but suddenly they
find the glorious sky is clouded; instead of the Land of Goshen they
have to tread the sandy desert; in the place of sweet waters, they find
troubled streams, bitter to their taste, and they say, "Surely, if I
were a child of God, this would not happen." Oh! say not so, thou who
art walking in darkness. The best of God's saints must drink the
wormwood; the dearest of his children must bear the cross. No Christian
has enjoyed perpetual prosperity; no believer can always keep his harp
from the willows. Perhaps the Lord allotted you at first a smooth and
unclouded path, because you were weak and timid. He tempered the wind
to the shorn lamb, but now that you are stronger in the spiritual life,
you must enter upon the riper and rougher experience of God's
full-grown children. We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith,
to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more
firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our
glorious hope.

EVENING:

"The Lord taketh pleasure in his people."
-- Psalms 149:4

How comprehensive is the love of Jesus! There is no part of his
people's interests which he does not consider, and there is nothing
which concerns their welfare which is not important to him. Not merely
does he think of you, believer, as an immortal being, but as a mortal
being too. Do not deny it or doubt it: "The very hairs of your head are
all numbered." "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he
delighteth in his way." It were a sad thing for us if this mantle of
love did not cover all our concerns, for what mischief might be wrought
to us in that part of our business which did not come under our
gracious Lord's inspection! Believer, rest assured that the heart of
Jesus cares about your meaner affairs. The breadth of his tender love
is such that you may resort to him in all matters; for in all your
afflictions he is afflicted, and like as a father pitieth his children,
so doth he pity you. The meanest interests of all his saints are all
borne upon the broad bosom of the Son of God. Oh, what a heart is his,
that doth not merely comprehend the persons of his people, but
comprehends also the diverse and innumerable concerns of all those
persons! Dost thou think, O Christian, that thou canst measure the love
of Christ? Think of what his love has brought thee-justification,
adoption, sanctification, eternal life! The riches of his goodness are
unsearchable; thou shalt never be able to tell them out or even
conceive them. Oh, the breadth of the love of Christ! Shall such a love
as this have half our hearts? Shall it have a cold love in return?
Shall Jesus' marvellous lovingkindness and tender care meet with but
faint response and tardy acknowledgment? O my soul, tune thy harp to a
glad song of thanksgiving! Go to thy rest rejoicing, for thou art no
desolate wanderer, but a beloved child, watched over, cared for,
supplied, and defended by thy Lord.

My Utmost For His Highest : "The Graciousness Of Uncertainty"

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

April 29, 2009


THE GRACIOUSNESS OF UNCERTAINTY

It doth not yet appear what we shall be.

1 John 3:2
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1jo+3:2&sr=1

Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that
we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing. We imagine that we have to
reach some end, but that is not the nature of spiritual life. The
nature of spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty,
consequently we do not make our nests anywhere. Common sense says -
"Well, supposing I were in that condition . . ." We cannot suppose
ourselves in any condition we have never been in. Certainty is the
mark of the common-sense life: gracious uncertainty is the mark of
the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain
in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is
generally said with a sigh of sadness, it should be rather an
expression of breathless expectation. We are uncertain of the next
step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and
do the duty that lies nearest, He packs our life with surprises all
the time. When we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do
not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him. Jesus said,
"Except ye become as little children." Spiritual life is the life of
a child. We are not uncertain of God, but uncertain of what He is
going to do next. If we are only certain in our beliefs, we get
dignified and severe and have the ban of finality about our views;
but when we are rightly related to God, life is full of spontaneous,
joyful uncertainty and expectancy.

"Believe also in Me," said Jesus, not - "Believe certain things about
Me." Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He
will come in, but He will come. Remain loyal to Him.

ORDER OUT OF CONFUSION

1 Corinthians 14:1-12
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Corinthians+14:1-12

Dear Father, God of intelligibility and peace,

Thank you for reversing the curse of Babel when you poured out
your Holy Spirit on believers in Jerusalem on the Day of Pentecost.

Even in the confusion of many tongues you proclaimed your Good
News to every tribe and nation under heaven, with every person
hearing it in his or her own language.

Thank you too for the gift of prophecy in the common language,
believers speaking to one another for their mutual encouragement
and consolation, a gift greater than tongues (unless the unknown
language is interpreted), because understandable speech builds up
your church.

Help us to manifest your Spirit in all things. Help us to strive
zealously for whatever builds up the church.

In submission to you and in Jesus' name, I ask. Amen.

WJD! -- The Kingdom is Near -- Matthew 10:7-8

-/\/\-----------------------------------------------------------------
\ / WHAT JESUS DID! -- http://www.heartlight.org/
--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

The Kingdom is Near


"When you go, tell them this: 'The kingdom of heaven is
coming soon.' Heal sick people. Give dead people life again.
Heal those people that have leprosy. Force demons to leave
people. I give you these powers freely. So help other people
freely."

-- Matthew 10:7-8 (ERV)


KEY THOUGHT:
The Kingdom of Heaven is about two central things: our surrender to the
will of God and God's desire to bring us healing, peace, victory, and
salvation. We find it so very hard to believe that victory is in
surrender, but that is the principle of the Kingdom taught by Jesus all
the way through Matthew's Gospel. While Jesus is the key player in the
work of the Kingdom, he also reminds us that we have important roles to
play as well -- turning the direction of our lives around and offering
them to God to do his will is where we start. When people do that,
healing occurs at all sorts of levels -- physical, emotional, and
spiritual.


TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, I confess that I have blocked your Kingdom from fully dawning
in my heart. I have to battle self will and my own rebellious spirit.
Yet I want to serve you powerfully and faithfully, not just to be
accepted by you, but to please you and honor you for being so gracious
in sending Jesus to redeem me. Please forgive me for my sins and bring
your Kingdom in all its fullness so all may worship you on earth as the
angels do in heaven. In the name of the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.
