“I resigned from work in the hope that less travelling would give me  a sense of somewhere solid to place my feet,” writes Bridget Hilton-Barber in “Garden of My Ancestors.” (Reader’s Digest, October, 2008)

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is JESUS CHRIST,”  is one of the verses in the BIBLE I can say from memory.  (First Corinthians 3:11)

The BIBLE teaches also about a “stone in Zion”. It is a cornerstone. It is a chosen cornerstone. It is a precious cornerstone. It is a tested stone . It is a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation. (First Peter 2:6; Isaiah 28:16)

The Lord JESUS CHRIST is the cornerstone.

I trust him. And because of my trust in the Lord JESUS CHRIST I will never be dismayed or put to shame.  That are the promises of the BIBLE. (Again First Peter 2:6 and Isaiah 28:16)

Please trust HIM too, and you have somewhere solid to place your feet in the storms of life.

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it,”  is a quote by George Moore.

I am reading here about  a young man who set off  to travel the world and instead of finding what he needs “he began to be in need.”

And after he said to himself, “I will set out and go back to my father….” his needs were met.

Can you guess in which book I am reading about this young man?

It is “THE PARABLE OF THE LOST SON” in the Gospel of Luke. (Luke 15:11-24)

“SAY HELLO TO TEN STRANGERS ON NOVEMER 21 – WORLD HELLO DAY. BY GREETING OTHERS, THE MESSAGE IS FOR WORLD LEADERS TO USE PEACE RATHER THAN FORCE TO SETTLE CONFLICTS.” ( I am reading that in the NOVEMBER 2006 Reader’s Digest)

I like to say HELLO to strangers every day and tell them about the Lord Jesus Christ and the message of JUSTIFICATION.

One result of JUSTIFICATION is PEACE. Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God.”

Alban Douglas writes in his book ONEHUNDRED BIBLE LESSONS on page 118  that we have:

1. PEACE of conscience through the mercy of God.

2. PEACE of heart through the love of God.

3. PEACE of mind through the truth of God. We are very familiar with the phrase “Peace of mind.”

4. PEACE of soul through the presence of God.

With great joy I discovered a verse from the BIBLE in the paper today. (The New Zealand Herald, Monday, April 9, 2012)

On page A 28 at the bottom in the left corner it says: “TEXT FOR TODAY”

And the verse from the BIBLE is Luke 23:33,34

“When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him,…… Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they don’t now what they are doing.'”
