Today's Verse : Proverbs 12:19

December 19, 2008

VERSE:
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a
moment.
-- Proverbs 12:19
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Proverbs+12:19

THOUGHT:
"Tell the truth the first time, then you won't have to remember
what you said." This truism by the famous Speaker of the House, Sam
Rayburn, is good medicine for us today. Telling a lie seems
gratifying at the time, but it nearly always catches up with us and
gives us the added burden of trying to remember what we said and
why. Truth endures; a lie is a momentary illusion that ends up a
trap filled with burdens.

PRAYER:
Holy and Righteous Father, please forgive me for lying,
exaggerating, and withholding the truth when it is needed. I want
my heart and my lips to be invested in forever. In the name of
Jesus. Amen.

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

Don't Sit Around Waiting, by Ron Rose

�
Preparation

How are you with riddles?

Try this one:

All the electricity was out in Aberdeen. None of the streetlights
or traffic signals had power. A dark limousine was cruising down
the newly paved blacktop, with its headlights off. A young boy
dressed totally in black (with no reflectors) stepped out to cross
the street. The moon wasn't out and the boy had no flashlight, yet
the driver stopped to let the boy cross the street. How did the
driver see the boy?

Ben Gates, in "National Treasure", found destiny in the riddle. "The
legend writ, the stain affected, the key in Silence undetected. Fifty
five in iron pen, Mr. Matlack can't offend." His life was driven by a
riddle.

Does your life find destiny in a riddle? Are you looking for maps,
clues, or answers? In the movies, Ben Gates, Harry Potter, Frodo, and
Indiana Jones found their destinies, their "reason for living," in a
driving quest.

What are you driven by? Too many of us have trouble here. Are you still
searching to find your driving force? ... your destiny? Have you read
the book, "Purpose Driven life," and still find yourself in search of
purpose? Or, have you grown comfortable waiting around?

Waiting, or wasting time?

Not sure what you want to do?

Then, go make something up.

You have permission to take your abilities and dreams and make life
happen.

Brandon asked:

I'm not sure what God wants me to do with my life, I haven't
figured out the answers yet; in fact, I haven't found the clues
yet. What if I decide to do something with my life that's not God's
will for me ... not what I'm destined to do?

My response:

Then, He'll let you know; but just waiting around or wishing
something would happen, is a waste. God opens doors all around us,
most of them we never see, because we're waiting for something to
happen, somewhere else.

Inspiration

It was the 1940's in America and Branch Rickey was about to do the
impossible. It wouldn't be easy, but he was going to integrate
professional baseball. Branch was the general manager of the Brooklyn
Dodgers; but for this task he would need a partner, an extraordinary
one.

To begin with, Branch realized that introducing a black player into the
Dodger organization would put him at odds with generations of inbred
racial attitudes; and it would for a while meet with intense
opposition.

What are you waiting for, really?

More than being a great player, this first black man in Baseball, would
have to have strength of character, intestinal fortitude and personal
tenacity. He would have to be a man willing to make history, not sit
around waiting for it to happen. Branch picked Jackie Robinson.

In 1945, Branch made the offer to Jackie. "We can't fight our way
through this, Robinson. We've got no army. There's virtually nobody on
our side. No owners, no umpires, very few newspapermen. And I'm afraid
that many fans will be hostile. We'll be in a tough position. We can
win only if we can convince the world that I'm doing this because
you're a great ballplayer and a fine gentleman."

In spite of what was thrown against them, they would both have to
endure without reprisal.

Jackie looked at the general manager and asked, "Mr. Rickey, are you
looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?" "No, I'm looking for
a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back," Branch replied.

Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier during the 1947 season with
restraint and resolve. Early on players yelled at him to go back to the
jungle, hurled racial epithets, and slung hate. And it got worse.

Jackie played with great skill and astonishing restraint. Everyday he
had to fight the war inside, while playing the game he loved. Jackie
Robinson didn't just wait around for clues.

He didn't waste his days dreaming of destiny, a future that might come
his way; he took action, tough action and created his own destiny.

Motivation

Are you in-play? Or are you waiting on the bench, hoping something
happens this week that changes everything.

What are you waiting for, really? Confidence? Company? Confirmation?

What about faith?

Faith forces us into action, sometimes impossible, dangerous, and
unexpected action, but always action.

Morning & Evening -- Psalms 29:2 and Romans 8:23

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

Saturday, August 16, 2008

MORNING:

"Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name."
-- Psalms 29:2

God's glory is the result of his nature and acts. He is glorious in his
character, for there is such a store of everything that is holy, and
good, and lovely in God, that he must be glorious. The actions which
flow from his character are also glorious; but while he intends that
they should manifest to his creatures his goodness, and mercy, and
justice, he is equally concerned that the glory associated with them
should be given only to himself. Nor is there aught in ourselves in
which we may glory; for who maketh us to differ from another? And what
have we that we did not receive from the God of all grace? Then how
careful ought we to be to walk humbly before the Lord! The moment we
glorify ourselves, since there is room for one glory only in the
universe, we set ourselves up as rivals to the Most High. Shall the
insect of an hour glorify itself against the sun which warmed it into
life? Shall the potsherd exalt itself above the man who fashioned it
upon the wheel? Shall the dust of the desert strive with the whirlwind?
Or the drops of the ocean struggle with the tempest? Give unto the
Lord, all ye righteous, give unto the Lord glory and strength; give
unto him the honour that is due unto his name. Yet it is, perhaps, one
of the hardest struggles of the Christian life to learn this
sentence-"Not unto us, not unto us, but unto thy name be glory." It is
a lesson which God is ever teaching us, and teaching us sometimes by
most painful discipline. Let a Christian begin to boast, "I can do all
things," without adding "through Christ which strengtheneth me," and
before long he will have to groan, "I can do nothing," and bemoan
himself in the dust. When we do anything for the Lord, and he is
pleased to accept of our doings, let us lay our crown at his feet, and
exclaim, "Not I, but the grace of God which was with me!"

EVENING:

"Ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit."
-- Romans 8:23

Present possession is declared. At this present moment we have the
first fruits of the Spirit. We have repentance, that gem of the first
water; faith, that priceless pearl; hope, the heavenly emerald; and
love, the glorious ruby. We are already made "new creatures in Christ
Jesus," by the effectual working of God the Holy Ghost. This is called
the firstfruit because it comes first. As the wave-sheaf was the first
of the harvest, so the spiritual life, and all the graces which adorn
that life, are the first operations of the Spirit of God in our souls.
The firstfruits were the pledge of the harvest. As soon as the
Israelite had plucked the first handful of ripe ears, he looked forward
with glad anticipation to the time when the wain should creak beneath
the sheaves. So, brethren, when God gives us things which are pure,
lovely, and of good report, as the work of the Holy Spirit, these are
to us the prognostics of the coming glory. The firstfruits were always
holy to the Lord, and our new nature, with all its powers, is a
consecrated thing. The new life is not ours that we should ascribe its
excellence to our own merit; it is Christ's image and creation, and is
ordained for his glory. But the firstfruits were not the harvest, and
the works of the Spirit in us at this moment are not the
consummation-the perfection is yet to come. We must not boast that we
have attained, and so reckon the wave-sheaf to be all the produce of
the year: we must hunger and thirst after righteousness, and pant for
the day of full redemption. Dear reader, this evening open your mouth
wide, and God will fill it. Let the boon in present possession excite
in you a sacred avarice for more grace. Groan within yourself for
higher degrees of consecration, and your Lord will grant them to you,
for he is able to do exceeding abundantly above what we ask or even
think.

My Utmost For His Highest : "Does He Know Me -"

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

August 16, 2008

DOES HE KNOW ME -

He calleth ... by name.

John 10:3
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=joh+10:3&sr=1

When I have sadly misunderstood Him? (John 10:17.) It is possible to
know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger
when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. Why
was Mary weeping? Doctrine was no more to Mary than the grass under
her feet. Any Pharisee could have made a fool of Mary doctrinally,
but one thing they could not ridicule out of her was the fact that
Jesus had cast seven demons out of her; yet His blessings were
nothing in comparison to Himself. Mary "saw Jesus standing and knew
not that it was Jesus . . ;" immediately she heard the voice, she
knew she had a past history with the One who spoke. "Master!"

When I have stubbornly doubted? (John 10:27.) Have I been doubting
something about Jesus - an experience to which others testify but
which I have not had? The other disciples told Thomas that they had
seen Jesus, but Thomas doubted - "Except I shall see . . , I will not
believe." Thomas needed the personal touch of Jesus. When His touches
come, or how they come, we do not know; but when they do come they
are in describably precious. "My Lord and my God!"

When I have selfishly denied Him? (John 21:15-17.) Peter had denied
Jesus Christ with oaths and curses, and yet after the Resurrection
Jesus appeared to Peter alone. He restored him in private, then He
restored him before the others. "Lord, Thou knowest that I love
Thee."

Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of
discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus
Christ which nothing can shake.

TAKING HOLD OF ETERNAL LIFE

1 Timothy 6:12-15
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=1+Timothy+6:12-15

Dear Father, Lord of all lords,

Enable me to take hold of the eternal life to which I was called
when I made the good confession before many witnesses. Help me keep
your commands until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which
you will bring about in your own time.

O God, the blessed and only ruler, the King of kings and Lord of
lords, who alone is immortal and lives in unapproachable light,
whom no one has seen or can see - to you be honor and might forever
and ever. Amen.

In the name of Jesus and to your glory I lift up this prayer.
