Cell vs Bible

  vs 

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our pockets or purses?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forget it?

What if we used it to receive message from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn’t live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?

This is something to make you go …hmm…Where’s my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don’t have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think ‘where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you!

“Don’t measure today’s success by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you sow”

Peace

Sometimes our peace is broken.

We stop.

We look.

We search.

We find the obvious is in our mist.

Our love ones, our work and ourselves.

So blinded we are from the realness.

The raindrops.

The flowers.

The clouds.

The sky.

Just God all by himself.

Suddenly our thoughts, our peace, our serenity become all one.

JESUS CHRIST IS OUR SAVIOR!

Sixteen Books of the Bible listed in this story.

Once a remark was made about the hidden books of the Bible (merely by a fluke). It kept people looking so hard for the facts and for others it was a revelation.  Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot.  Others may require judges to help them.  I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found.  A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better.  See how well you can compete.  Relax now.

God’s Perfect and Permissive Will

If you are humble, God can speak to your spirit. God speaking to your spirit gives you a peace and joy; it allows you to function in this evil world.  If you are going contrary to the word of God, you are in his permissive will. In God’s permissive will, we often pursue a plan that is different from God's perfect plan. Yet we are sincere, desiring to follow God. So, we earnestly pray, we beseech God, we are persistent, and God relents, he gives us our desire but we will not prosper or be as productive for Him. You will not experience the blessings that come from following the King of Kings.

God has designed a map for each of our lives. It makes your life easier when you are in the perfect will of God. We discover God’s perfect will by seeking Him through his Word, His Spirit, and His people.
