THE CROSS

“I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road,

Ezra 8:22,23

Intr.:

because we had told the king,

1.  ‘The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but

2.  his great anger is against all who forsake him.’

End:

So we fasted and

petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.”

“Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel gathered around me because of this unfaithfulness of the exiles.” – Ezra 9:4

There are things we have to do and there are things we want to do. In order not to worry about those things and not to forget those things, make a list where you ‘park’ them.

‘PARKING’ LIST

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

‘Park’ the things that come to your mind and the things mentioned by a member of your family.

Some of the things on the list will be ‘parked’ only for a short time, some will be ‘parked’ longer, and some will be ‘parked’ forever.

I was almost forgetting to write this post on the blog, but not long ago I have ‘parked’ an item mentioned by a member of the family on my ‘Parking’ List.

“Today there are 48 known complete Gutenberg Bibles in the world. A Gutenberg Bible is  valued at over US  $100 million.” – Tupu Whakarangi, December 2007, Issue 190

There is one day I am looking forward to and that is the SPRING Equinox, on Tuesday, September 23, 2014.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SPRING EQUINOX?

1.  For me the most important thing that happens is that the days become longer than the nights.

2.  Everywhere on planet EARTH day and night are of equal length.

3.  The sun passes directly overhead at the equator.

But that is not the most important day I am looking forward to. The most important day I am looking forward to is the Second Coming of Christ. But we don’t know the date!

STAR LETTER

“Thanks for another fantastic issue, which I have read inside-out as usual,” begins the “STAR letter” in the magazine called “Wellbeing”. (WellBeing Issue 139)

I like the “read inside-out”.

To read inside-out means to read thoroughly.

It means also that the reading is carried out completely.

Nothing is left out. Every word is looked at.

The magazine or the book is read from cover to cover.

It means that the reading is carried out carefully.

Also time is taken to meditate over the words read.

Readers who read magazines (WellBeing) inside-out surely are an inspiration for us Bible readers to read the Bible, the Word of God, inside-out or continue to read the Bible inside-out.
