Daily Devo II (protect you and me)

Nehemiah 13:23b

Remember me for this also, O my God, and show mercy to me according to your great love

I Corinthians 11:3

Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and head of Christ is God.

Psalm 35:1-3, 9-10

Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me: fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and buckler: arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, " I am your salvation." Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, O Lord?" You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.

Trouble may come but God in Three will protect you and me.

Daily Devo I (Live for Christ and to Die is gain)

A new direction for living out the Purpose of This:

I Corinthians 10:23-26; 32-33

"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.

Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."
Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.

Psalm 34:18-19
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;

Proverb 21:16
A man who strays from the path of understanding comes to rest in the company of the dead
 
Live to die - To die is Gain

Don't always get what I want

When a person looks around and sees everyone else, they think they want what the other people have.
They ask God for the things they see and want thinking that they are needs.
Sometimes they get those wants and look around some more. Want more.
It is devastating to think how many people are crippled with this syndrome.
Covet things. ...(but it's the desire of my heart, God will most certainly give it to me)

Be grateful for one has and thank God for all that He has granted. If one receives more than one needs, give it to someone who needs it.
It is better to give than to receive.
Give thanks with a grateful heart. Give thanks to the Holy One. Give thanks.

Post # 101

It amazes me when human ingenuity occurs.
When humans improvise.
When we show some of our potential of collaborative efforts along with individual drive.
What we as humans could accomplish when we wish to.
Emulate the One that created us is the purpose of this life.

Let us start living it and change the things around us.
With the I AM, we can achieve many things
Change me inside, O God. Let it infect those around me. Viral spiral of the Holy Spirit
A revival

How long can one endure

Endurance - run the race set before you.

Even Paul talked about a thorn in his side that despite all his successes he was unable to remove.
Was this thorn a perpetual sin? It is tough dealing with one's own sin.
How does one change a habitual action?
Easy answer - God's Grace and the blood of Christ is sufficient for me.
Hard answer - Mental and physical conditioning yourself to follow God instead of one's sinful nature.
Salvation is an immediate and progressive act.
Change is instant and occurs over time.
The will of Christ in us can overcome all things.
Convincing oneself and changing course in our turmultous lives is hard.
Perserverance.
Big Words, Tough action.
Live out the Purpose of This life which we are giving.

Be like Zachi

Thanks to Flame for this rhyme - I paraphrase

I want to see more him 'cause i'm sick of more me
want to be like Zachi in the sycamore tree
- i promise, i promise
