Subject: How? |
Bible Note: Thank you Azure. The wind is blowing at my door. Its about 35 degrees here. Actually it is about seven or eight hours until morning. It sounds beautiful at your home. My mother taught me to be thankful for the weather no matter whether it rained or was sunny. She was a farmer's wife so she knew how much rain was needed for the crops. In my years the best way I have practically fulfilled the first commandment has been a challenge in my relationship with others. Constant communication with the Lord and a determination not to ruin my witness for Him by not controlling my emotions such as anger and temper. I find the greatest challenge is to bring my thoughts and language into obedience to Him. I agree when the load gets heavy - He carries it for us when we take it to Him in prayer. Daily prayer is the key I believe. Starting the day with Him makes a difference. His yoke is easy when I do not pull in a different direction. That is the challenge too to follow Him and not wander from His path. I believe Paul said it best: live a life worthy of our calling. We are ambassadors for Christ. Kind and tender words go a long way. Praise Him, praise Him Jesus our blessed Redeemer. Ps 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer. Grace and Peace Val |
