Today's Verse : Joel 2:13

--\/------------------------------------------------------------------

February 13, 2008

VERSE:
Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your
God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and
abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.
-- Joel 2:13

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Joel+2:13

THOUGHT:
One of the most amazing things about our God is that he is so
gracious and compassionate. This is true even when we've "blown it
big time." In fact, when we sin, he longs to forgive and cleanse,
not condemn and punish. His grace rushes to greet our genuine
heartbreak and heart-change with forgiveness, cleansing, and
redemption.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, when I sin, please help me see my sin as you do.
Help my heart break over my sin when I've rebelled against you. I
don't want to ever become callused or cold to your grace. I want to
always appreciate the great cost you paid to redeem, to forgive,
and to cleanse me with you grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Mustard Seed Thoughts: The Wife Thing

The Wife Thing

By: Ron Edmondson Mustard Seed Thoughts

Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun....all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun. Ecclesiastes 9:9 NIV

Solomon was the wisest man of all time. In his search for the meaning of life; the real pleasure of this world, his advice to us is this: enjoy your wife!

Solomon had many wives, and many lovers too. In fact, he had all the so-called pleasures of the world at his command. He had the ability to order up anything that his mind could conceive. Yet, he found in the end, that God's way, one man and one woman, committed to each other for a lifetime, was the most excellent way. Perhaps that is why Solomon wrote Song of Songs as a brilliant tribute to the wife of his youth.

My wife and I have busy jobs. We often talk with each other throughout the day whether by text, phone or email. Still, there is no more precious time than when the two of us have time alone, leaving the world behind, and can focus on our love for each other. Our marriage is fueled by these special times.

Dear friend, if you are married, praise God for your spouse. Ask God's richest blessings upon them, and that you would cherish them with all your heart. Celebrate the gift of life and marriage together! Commit to one person, forever! And, if you, like Solomon, have made mistakes, learn from them, as Solomon did, and from this day forward, you find pleasures in life from the simplicity, (yet complexity) of God's gift to you in your spouse

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

The Britney Spears in Your Life, by Rubel Shelly

This isn't a piling-on piece about Britney Spears out-of-control life.
She has enough people alternately diagnosing and dismissing her. Even
as the TV newscasters tell about the latest bout in court, the most
recent episode of partying, or introduce the latest censored photo,
they tend to roll their eyes. She generates a lot of tongue-clucking
these days. She just seems hopeless.

Ah, but that's the point. Or, at any rate, it is the beginning of a
point somebody needs to make about the latest young celebrity on a path
to self-destruction. Is there nobody who cares about her? Will nobody
risk telling her the truth? Doesn't anybody love her enough to throw
her a lifeline?

Practically everybody has a Britney Spears in her life. There is a
friend or family member, a colleague at work or member of her church
whose life is clearly spinning sideways on a sheet of ice and about to
crash.

It's a younger brother who has been experimenting with drugs -- while
racking up a couple of DUI's along the way.

It's a brother-in-law who has left his wife and their two children to
live with someone half his age.

It's a friend who has four or five credit cards maxed out from shopping
binges and whose idea of solving the problem is to get another card.

It's the deacon who was arrested a few weeks ago for stealing a
computer from his company -- and whose absence from church has not been
mentioned.

Wouldn't you want someone to reach a hand to you?

It's the person in your office who used to be cheerful and dependable
but who has missed a lot of work lately -- and whose presence
complicates life for everyone.

See what I mean now? My point is not to moralize about or to pass
another sanctimonious judgment on Ms. Spears. It is to look in from the
perspective you and I share to wish somebody would reach out to her.
Maybe there are people who really care about her. Maybe they have
tried. And maybe she has rebuffed them all. That happens sometimes!
More often than not, though, people crash and burn because the people
around them look away.

Alcoholics, philanderers, religious bigots, incorrigible gamblers,
clinically depressed people, tax cheats -- the list just goes on and
on. People have life issues that have them by the throats. It will
likely take a professional to help them dig out. But somebody who is
close to and credible with them has to take the first step to
intervene. Get in his face. Let her know how serious things are.

You don't know Britney Spears? Don't think you can help her? Okay. But
what about the person you do know who is on a similar path? You may be
that soul's best hope of recovery from a nose-dive into oblivion.

Even if you make the effort, there are no guarantees -- except that
major problems don't solve themselves. If the shoe were on the other
foot, wouldn't you want someone to reach a hand to you?

Morning & Evening -- 2 Corinthians 1:5 and John 14:16

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

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

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

MORNING:

"For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
consolation also aboundeth by Christ."
-- 2 Corinthians 1:5

There is a blessed proportion. The Ruler of Providence bears a pair of
scales-in this side he puts his people's trials, and in that he puts
their consolations. When the scale of trial is nearly empty, you will
always find the scale of consolation in nearly the same condition; and
when the scale of trials is full, you will find the scale of
consolation just as heavy. When the black clouds gather most, the light
is the more brightly revealed to us. When the night lowers and the
tempest is coming on, the Heavenly Captain is always closest to his
crew. It is a blessed thing, that when we are most cast down, then it
is that we are most lifted up by the consolations of the Spirit. One
reason is, because trials make more room for consolation. Great hearts
can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the
reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation. God
comes into our heart-he finds it full-he begins to break our comforts
and to make it empty; then there is more room for grace. The humbler a
man lies, the more comfort he will always have, because he will be more
fitted to receive it. Another reason why we are often most happy in our
troubles, is this-then we have the closest dealings with God. When the
barn is full, man can live without God: when the purse is bursting with
gold, we try to do without so much prayer. But once take our gourds
away, and we want our God; once cleanse the idols out of the house,
then we are compelled to honour Jehovah. "Out of the depths have I
cried unto thee, O Lord." There is no cry so good as that which comes
from the bottom of the mountains; no prayer half so hearty as that
which comes up from the depths of the soul, through deep trials and
afflictions. Hence they bring us to God, and we are happier; for
nearness to God is happiness. Come, troubled believer, fret not over
your heavy troubles, for they are the heralds of weighty mercies.

EVENING:

"He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with
you for ever."
-- John 14:16

Great Father revealed himself to believers of old before the coming of
his Son, and was known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as the God
Almighty. Then Jesus came, and the ever-blessed Son in his own proper
person, was the delight of his people's eyes. At the time of the
Redeemer's ascension, the Holy Spirit became the head of the present
dispensation, and his power was gloriously manifested in and after
Pentecost. He remains at this hour the present Immanuel-God with us,
dwelling in and with his people, quickening, guiding, and ruling in
their midst. Is his presence recognized as it ought to be? We cannot
control his working; he is most sovereign in all his operations, but
are we sufficiently anxious to obtain his help, or sufficiently
watchful lest we provoke him to withdraw his aid? Without him we can do
nothing, but by his almighty energy the most extraordinary results can
be produced: everything depends upon his manifesting or concealing his
power. Do we always look up to him both for our inner life and our
outward service with the respectful dependence which is fitting? Do we
not too often run before his call and act independently of his aid? Let
us humble ourselves this evening for past neglects, and now entreat the
heavenly dew to rest upon us, the sacred oil to anoint us, the
celestial flame to burn within us. The Holy Ghost is no temporary gift,
he abides with the saints. We have but to seek him aright, and he will
be found of us. He is jealous, but he is pitiful; if he leaves in
anger, he returns in mercy. Condescending and tender, he does not weary
of us, but awaits to be gracious still.

Sin has been hammering my heart
Unto a hardness, void of love,
Let supplying grace to cross his art
Drop from above.

My Utmost For His Highest : "Must I Listen?"

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

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

February 12, 2008

MUST I LISTEN?

And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us and we will
hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

Exodus 20:19

http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ex+20:19&sr=1

We do not consciously disobey God, we simply do not heed Him. God has
given us His commands; there they are, but we do not pay any
attention to them, not because of wilful disobedience but because we
do not love and respect Him. "If ye love Me, ye will keep My
commandments." When once we realize that we have been "disrespecting"
God all the time, we are covered with shame and humiliation because
we have not heeded Him.

"Speak thou with us...but let not God speak with us." We show how
little we love God by preferring to listen to His servants only. We
like to listen to personal testimonies, but we do not desire that God
Himself should speak to us. Why are we so terrified lest God should
speak to us? Because we know that if God does speak, either the thing
must be done or we must tell God we will not obey Him. If it is only
the servant's voice we hear, we feel it is not imperative, we can
say, "Well, that is simply your own idea, though I don't deny it is
probably God's truth."

Am I putting God in the humiliating position of having treated me as
a child of His whilst all the time I have been ignoring Him? When I
do hear Him, the humiliation I have put on Him comes back on me -
"Lord, why was I so dull and so obstinate?" This is always the result
when once we do hear God. The real delight of hearing Him is tempered
with shame in having been so long in hearing Him.

ISRAEL'S UNBELIEF

Romans 10:18-11:16

Dear Father,

How sorry I am that the people you chose, the nation of Israel,
has spurned your Messiah and turned away in unbelief. But how
thankful I am that because of their unbelief you have sent your
message to Gentiles so that we can be adopted into the family of
Abraham, grafted as wild shoots into the natural olive tree.

I rejoice that even today you have redeemed in Christ thousands of
Abraham's natural descendants for your kingdom.

I rejoice that I share with them the blessings you gave. Thank you
that we are one family.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.

WJD! -- Compassionate Eyes -- Mark 3:1

\ / WHAT JESUS DID! --

Compassionate Eyes

Another time Jesus went into the synagogue. In the synagogue
there was a man with a crippled hand.

-- Mark 3:1 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus touched many people with his compassion, care, healing, comfort,
and teaching. How did he reach so many people? Some came to him for
healing because they had heard of his power over demons and disease.
Others, however, were simply present and Jesus saw them with his
"compassionate eyes." He looked into their eyes, their lives, and their
hearts and then he acted to make a difference in their lives. Will we
see and act to bless those around us who need Jesus' compassionate
care?

TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father in heaven, please help me to see those who need Jesus' touch of
grace and then to share your love in a personal way with them. In
Jesus' name. Amen.
