WHERE IS YOUR LOVE?

"Do not love the world or anything that belongs

to the world.  If you love the world, you do not

love the Father.  Everything that belongs to the

world - what the sinful self desires, what people

are so proud of - none of this comes from the 

Father; it all comes from the world.  The world

and everything in it that people desire is passing

away; but those who do the will of God live

forever."

(1 John 2:15 - 17 TEV)

THE WAY IT OUGHT TO BE

I know.

This is a very poor picture.

 I was setting here at the kitchen table 

having a cup of tea.  Looking out the window

I realized an important truth was being played 

out before my eyes.  Grabbing my camera I

shot between the steamed up portions of the 

window at just a small portion of the livestock.

In the field there was at least one horse.  There

were a lot of cows.  There were a lot of sheep.

They were white, black, brown and who knows

what other colors in the herd.

Yes, even a squirrel.

Do you know what?

They were ALL grazing peacefully enjoying 

the day.  They were all minding their own business

doing their own job and everybody was happy 

doing it.

"Make it your aim to live a quiet life,

to mind your own business,

and to earn your own living,

just as we told you before.

In this way you will win the respect

of those who are not believers

and you will not have to depend

on anyone for what you need."

(1 Thessalonians 4:11,12 TEV)

TODAY'S PROMISE

"Be careful not to let yourselves become

occupied with too much feasting and drinking

and with the worries of this life, or that Day 

may suddenly catch you like a trap.  For it will 

come upon all people everywhere on earth.  Be 

on watch and pray always that you will have the 

strength to go safely through all those things that 

will happen and to stand before the Son of Man."

WORK

REAPING FROM READING

I do not read as well as you do.  But I have learned 

to read a little bit.  And over the years there have been

so many things that; encourage, inspire, motivate, or

even warn me, that I feel compelled to share some of

it with you.

"Comparative few people die of overwork.

By far more people die of underwork and 

over-worry."

-W.V. Marshburn. M.D.

in 

"Spiritual Experiences in 

Business Life."

p. 92

TODAY'S PROMISE

"It is God who clothes the wild grass -

grass that is here today and gone tomorrow,

burned up in the oven.  Won't he be all the

more sure to clothe you?  What little faith  

you have!

"So do not start worrying; 'Where will

my food come from? or my drink? or 

my clothes?' (These are the things the 

pagans are always concerned about.)

Your Father in heaven knows that you

need all these things.  Instead, be concerned

above everything else with the Kingdom

of God and with what he requires of you,

and he will provide you with all these

other things.  So do not worry about

tomorrow, it will have enough worries

of its own.  There is no need to add to

the troubles each day brings."

(Matthew 6:30 - 34 GNT)

GOD'S VIEW OF MONEY

"When the Pharisees heard all this,

they made fun of Jesus, because

they loved money.  Jesus said to 

them 'You are the ones who make

yourselves look right in other people's

sight, but God knows your hearts.

For the things that are considered of

great value by people are worth 

nothing in God's sight.'"

(Luke 16:14,15 TEV)

TODAY'S PROMISE

"But I am telling you the truth;

it is better for you that I go away,

because if I do not go, the Helper

will not come to you.  But if I

do go away, then I will send him

to you."

"When, however, the Spirit comes,

who reveals the truth about God, 

he will lead you into all the truth.

He will not speak on his own authority,

but he will speak of what he hears

ad will tell you of things to come."

(John 16:7 & 13 GNT)
