Share a scripture that ministered to you
God’s splendor is a tale that is told,
written in the stars.
Space itself speaks his story
through the marvels of the heavens.
His truth is on tour in the starry vault of the sky,
showing his skill in creation’s craftsmanship.
2 Each day gushes out its message to the next,
night by night whispering its knowledge to all—Psalm 19:1-2 NLT
There’s a reason being in nature brings one closer to God. His creation is speaking to us in ways other than words. With the constrant stream of words – both on a screen and spoken in our ears – it’s restful to commune non-verbally with the world He has made.
Share a great quote
Actually, September brought me several quotes to ponder:
Ability is a process, frequency is a decision – Jon Acuff, Back to Challenge, Day 1. So, I can decide to keep on keeping on, day after day.
“But I don’t feel anything …” “Who said you are supposed to feel anything?” – from sermon by Pete Vinson, JFBC, September 19, 2021 Makes me think of the scripture, “We walk by faith not by sight.” It woudn’t be faith if we could feel or see it, right?
“I’m going to believe what God says and I’m going to step out there. And if I make
100 faith steps and 10 of them happen, I would have lived a more full life in so
many other people who are sitting on the sidelines waiting for all the facts. I’m
going to live in crazy faith.” And, “It’s only crazy till it happens.” – Pastor Mike Todd with Annie F. Downs on the That Sounds Fun Podcast, Episode 325, Crazy Faith
We often wonder why we don’t get answers to our prayers during a struggle (a trial or a test). Just as a teacher is silent during an exam at school, “during a test, the Teacher is silent” – Pastor Jack Oliver.
And another timely gem from Pastor Jack: “When anger controls, you can be right about the point but wrong about the method.
