ATTITUDES

Attitude is a little thing that makes a BIG difference.

A business here in town is selling ride on lawn mowers and all the big machines are displayed in front of the shop. Once I walked passed the shop at closing time while one of the workers was in the process of driving the equipment back into the safe shop and I said to him,” Quite a bother to do that every morning and every evening.” Smiling he anwered, ” It is good exercise.” I replied,” That is a good way of looking at it, otherwise it could be a miserable job.”

I actually had the same response at another shop.

OUR ATTITUDES ARE ALSO VERY IMPORTANT IN OUR LIVES AS CHRISTIANS!

Some pieces are missing!

I visited once the home of an old Salvation Army couple and on the wall of the living room was hanging the following:

LIFE IS LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE WITH SOME PIECES MISSING!

We will be always missing something in life till we find the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour.

How to study the Bible

While studying at Bible College we had a guest speaker from the USA talking to us and he said one of the best ways to read (study) the Word of God is to read from the beginning to the end three chapters a day and those three chapters for three days.

Is he the only one who does that?

THE BIBLE HAS HOW MANY CHAPTERS?

The answer is:  1 189 chapters!

I don’t know if you are familiar with the Official magazine of Maori Postal Aotearoa?

Distributed a good number in our neighbourhood. PRAY for the readers, if the Lord leads you to do so.

‘For he endured as seeing him who is invisible’

‘For he endured as seeing him who is invisible’ says the Bible about Moses. END OF STORY? – Sometimes I really don’t know!

May it always be said about us as born again believers as it is said about Moses: Hebrews 11:27 “for he endured as seeing him who is invisible”. (RSV) The NIV says “he persevered because he saw him who is invisible”. Thinking about the word endured I am thinking about standing still. Perseverance seems to be talking about being on the move. Tell me if I am wrong. But the Collins dictionary seems to support that somehow. But I like the Luther translation best. It almost says in the German Luther Bible that Moses was hanging on to the Lord. Althougn he did not see him he was hanging on. That is FAITH! It is good to have something to hang on to. Or is the Lord not having us in his hands? But we are prone to forget, are we not?

What is Christmas all about?

POSTIE + says this year: “Christmas is looking good” With other words dress to impress —for Christmas.

The WESTPAC BANK is on the same wavelength: ” Have money on hand to meet the holiday expenses. TREAT THE FAMILY*. Ask about a personal loan TODAY!

Westpac: Have money on hand/ to make essential purchases/Spoil yourself this Christmas/Ask about a personal loan.

THE BIBLE says: Luke 2:10,11 -click on address!

*The family is a great motivator. Some people will do for their loved ones what they will not do for themselves.

I AM NOTHING

Second Corinthians 12:11 — I AM NOTHING = 0

Luke 11:6 — I HAVE NOTHING = 0

John 15:5 — I CAN DO NOTHING = 0

Write in front of the 3 noughts the big 1 = 1 000

HE IS

HE HAS

HE CAN

D.R.

That is a difficult lesson to be learned.
