~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

Matthew 6
25. Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat (or drink), or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

26. Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they?

27. Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your lifespan?...

33. But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides.

34. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.

READ: Psalm 119:129-136

The entrance of Your words gives light. —Psalm 119:130

As a high school teacher and college professor, I have observed that learning is a cooperative effort between the student and the instructor. That’s why educators try to get the student involved in class participation. The teacher does some work; the student does some work. Together progress is made. Education happens.

In Psalm 119, the writer suggests a similar pattern in verses 129-136. God is the teacher; we are the students.

Let’s look at God’s role in our education. He shows us mercy (v.132). He guides our steps (v.133). And He redeems us from outside trouble (v.134).

But first we must be eager students, ready to accept God’s teaching, guidance, and help. We should enter His classroom with anticipation: “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. . . . I longed for Your commandments” (vv.130-131). In our role as students of God’s Word, we should fulfill three requirements: (1) examine God’s words for what they are teaching, (2) gain understanding from those words, and (3) obey His statutes.

It’s time to enter God’s classroom and listen and learn from Him. When we do, we’ll look at God with renewed love and at the world with renewed concern (v.136).

Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine,
And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths
For every searcher there. —Hodder

Careful meditation on the Scriptures makes for a closer walk with the Savior.

O Lord, I will Honor and Praise Your Name,
For You are my God;
You Do Such Wonderful Things!

A Blessed Lord's Day to Amy's Place

In less than 48 hours, the polls will open - and I hope we all will remember where our Trust lies; it is not with politicians, polls, governments, who will win or lose.

No matter the outcome - we are grounded in something much more powerful; the knowledge that He is watching over us, in all things.

Matt. 10:31 Fear not, therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

I have just reached Sunday’s thread at post #116, and it looks like one of the most striking greeting cards we might see at Hallmark. Very serene, Meg, and I love the scripture you quoted.
