Success is also a word that is used quite a bit. In our local bookshop I read this again today:

“Success is going from failure to failure wihout a loss of enthusiasm”

How can I be successful wherever I go?

When will I be prosperous and successful?

“Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you;…”

“.. so that you may be careful to do everything written in  it.”

*************************

1. “… do not turn from it to the right or to the left,…”

2. “Do not let this book of the Law depart from your mouth;

3. meditate on it day and night,…”

THE BIBLE,

the book of Joshua chapter one

The above advertisement made me think…..

The following is from the book: “one hundred bible lessons” by Alban Douglas, Lesson 38. (Alban Douglas, formerly a missionary with OVERSEAS MISSIONARY FELLOWSHIP)

Body, soul and spirit are the three parts of man.

First Thessalonians 5:23

Hebrews 4:12

What happens at death?

The body goes to the earth.

The spirit goes to the creator.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

Where did the soul of the beggar go?

Answer: Bosom of Abraham. Luke 16:22

Where did the soul of the rich man go?

Answer: Hell. Luke 16:23

We are tripartite, because we are going to three different places.

“God designed that the human spirit indwelt and ruled by the Holy Spirit, should keep man in constant touch with Himself, and maintain in everything its proper preeminence, ruling soul and body.” – A.T. Piersen

Why did the Lord Jesus Christ die?

To redeem what?

Answer: Our soul.

Hebrews 10:39; James 1:21 and Psalm 49:8

Sunrise 7:16AM

Sunset 5:42PM

That’s what the paper says today on the fourth of August 2009.

Today we had ten hours and twenty-six minutes daylight.

On the shortest day, the 21st of June we had nine hours and forty-six minutes daylight.

That means that we had forty minutes more daylight than we had on the shortest day.

I am looking forward to the time when there is no night at all.

We are reading about that time in the last book of the Bible, in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 21:25

“…, for there will be no night there.”

Revelation 22:5

“There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”
