Good day dear friends.
Special prayers for a team from our church traveling to Kansas City this evening for the '07 Leadership Institute at The United Methodist Church of The Resurrection. We leave today and return home on Saturday. The team includes Terry Estes, Sue Carson, Jim Scarborough, Frank Flauto, Pastor Ryan and myself.
Also, for baby Chloe Bluz Chamness, who was able to leave the hospital on Sunday, but still fights jaundice and may have to return back to the hospital. Her parents are new members Chad and Christine.
Here is our study guide for today:
Thursday: Jeremiah 46, 47, 48, 49What consistent elements, if any, do you find in these judgments upon the several Gentile nations?
Jeremiah 46You Vainly Collect Medicines 1 God's Messages through the prophet Jeremiah regarding the godless nations.
The lessons shared with the "godless nations" could be shared with those who do no know God: Either come to know God or get used to being in battle all the time. Not against God, but against life! You can be the strongest person in the world, and still not be able to lift the burdens of your heart. You can be the fastest person in the world, but you can't outrun sorrow and sadness. You can be the best swimmer in the world, but still drown in worry and doubt. You can be the best archer in the world and still miss the mark of righteous living. Will this help you in anything? No. Only God can deliver us from the challenges of life.
Life is lived so much more confidently if one knows, loves, walks and trusts the Lord. Any other way to live is half-empty!
PRAYER: Loving God, give me wisdom and all that I need to know, love, walk and trust in You. I pray in Jesus' Name, amen.
Have a great and blessed day in the Lord!
