Levi clips

Liberty was laying on the couch by dad yesterday when Levi came up and said, "my turn." Liberty said, "no." Dad asked why Liberty wouldn't move and give Levi a turn. He said, "it's because of sin. She has sin in her and that's why she won't move. Even though she's a baby she has sin."
While praying the other day he said,"God, I will always worship you and I will NEVER worship a block of wood."
Also he prayed, "and thank you God for teaching that girl a lesson who was calling me a baby."

Fresh supplies of Your grace

I know not what difficulties, or trials, or temptations, may be before me this day. Prepare me whether for duty or for conflict. Knowing the treachery of the heart, I desire this morning, and each morning, to receive fresh supplies of Your grace.

Psalm 90

I listened to this awesome sermon on Psalm 90 last night. The verse that sticks out most to me is vs 12-"So teach us to number our days, that we may present to you a heart of wisdom." It teaches us to evaluate the use of my time in light of this brief life I am going to live. No matter what happens that I would measure EVERYTHING against Gods character. It never changes. Can I live in light of eternity and that because God is sovereign without fear of any circumstance that comes my way? Are my priorites set in this way or do I tend to live like tomorrow is just a repetition of yesterday? Am I prepared for tomorrow and whatever comes with it?
Lord, make me to know my end and what is the extent of my days; let me know how transient I am. (Psalm 39:4)
Let me live THIS way Lord.

Motives

Two things are required to make an action right. One is that it be lawful in itself. The other is that it be done with a right motive. If the thing done is itself wrong, no motives can make it right. On the other hand, the thing done may be right in itself, but the motive which governs us may be wrong, and so the act may be sinful because the motive is sinful. Bad motives in good actions are like dead flies in sweet ointments. They corrupt the whole. The motive of the heart is everything!

Right Place......Right Time

Wow! I was in the right place at the right time tonight! Levi and I decided to go on a bike ride around dusk tonight when riding along I found twenty bucks! Hurray! My grandpa always taught me to keep my eyes on the ground because sooner or later I would find some money! He had this stack of money that totaled like $36 or something folded in all these different ways because that was JUST how he found it. Well, that is a little crazy to me so I plan on just spending it on some delicious treats! Yum! Ya never know when you just may find some money laying in the road!

Jeremiah!

I learned from the book of Jeremiah tonight. Wow! Was it profoundly staggering! Read it up when you get a moment. Here is the part that stuck so much with me, "Listen and give heed, do not be haughty, For the Lord has spoken. Give glory to the Lord your God, Before He brings darkness and before your feet stumble On the dusky mountains, And while you are hoping for light He makes it into deep darkness, And turns it to gloom. (Jer 13:15-16) How I long for the lost to repent and know Christ. Have mercy Lord!

All hang dependent on His powerful providence!

"He holds all creation together." Col. 1:17"
He sustains the universe by the mighty power of His command!" Hebrews 1:3
Jesus Christ upholds, preserves, and governs the worlds which He has made! Thus all creatures, from the smallest insect which is seen by the microscope; up to the archangel which worships before the eternal throne; all events, from the falling of a hair of the head to the destruction of nations by famine, pestilence, and war; all rule and authority, from that of a petty official, to that of thrones and principalities in heaven; the material universe, from the least particle which floats in the sunbeam to the grandest system of worlds which roll in immensity--all hang dependent on His powerful providence! And if one link in the chain of that dependence were broken, they would all rush headlong to destruction!

Do it Lord!

Lord,
Send Thy life throughout the entire Church. Lord, visit Thy church, restore sound doctrine, restore holy and earnest living. Take away from professors their apparent love for frivolities, their attempts to meet the world on its own ground, and give back the old love to the doctrines of the cross, the doctrines of the Christ of God: and once more may free grace and dying love be the music that shall refresh the church, and make her heart exceeding glad.
- Charles Spurgeon -

Lewis

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.

I believe in Christianity as I believe in the rising sun; not because I see it, but by it I can see all else.

It is hard to have patience with people who say ''There is no death'' or ''Death doesn't matter.'' There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
