Everything We Need and More
July 9, 2016
[Gods] divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life.
2 Peter 1:3
In a field on the English countryside, G. K. Chesterton stood up from where he had been sitting and exploded with laughter. His outburst was so sudden and so loud that the cows could not take their eyes off him.
Just minutes before, the Christian writer and apologist had been miserable. That afternoon he had been wandering the hills, sketching pictures on brown paper using colored chalks. But he was dismayed to discover he had no white chalk, which he considered to be essential to his artwork. Soon, though, he began to laugh when he realized that the ground beneath him was porous limestonethe earths equivalent of white chalk. He broke off a piece and resumed drawing.
Like Chesterton, who realized he was sitting on an immense warehouse of white chalk, believers have Gods unlimited spiritual resources within reach at all times. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him (2 Peter 1:3).
Maybe you feel you are lacking some important element necessary for godliness such as faith, grace, or wisdom. If you know Christ, you have everything you need and more. Through Jesus, you have access to the Fatherthe one who graciously provides believers with all things.
Dear Lord, forgive me for overlooking Your power and trying to live in my own strength. I cant do it. Thank You for providing everything I need.
Todays passage reminds us that it is God who provides the power we need to live the Christian life (v. 3). One of the ways He does this is by giving us the Holy Spirit. The characteristics we displaythe fruit of the indwelling Spirithave strong implications for the way we live (vv. 59; see Gal. 5:2223). But whose fruit is it? It is the Spirits. The Holy Spirit is the agent, the source, and the power that produces that fruit.

Beach Glass
How do you beach?
Sorry, dont want to get
Too personal
Just asking, to get a perspective
To put us on the same page.
Do you lay in place
drink in the rays, melt the stress?
Or maybe play ball, Frisbee, or V-ball?
Not me. I walk, the length of the beach
Too restless to sit
Lost in my own thing
Looking for shells, people,
and beach glass.
Taking in the scene;
Hoping I remember where I left her
on my return.
Raymond A. Foss
Happy Caturday, Dogurday and Bunnyday, everyone!

Finally had my first horseback ride of the year today. The pony was with us in the roundpen and he rolled in the sand to his heart’s content (about 5 minutes) until he was nice and dirty. Both of them had baths Friday of course, so it was time to get all dirty. Horse was so well behaved he got extra carrots.
Have a good evening and a lovely Sunday!

Language of Love
July 10, 2016
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in Gods likeness.
James 3:9
When my grandmother came to Mexico as a missionary, she had a hard time learning Spanish. One day she went to the market. She showed her shopping list to the girl helping her and said, Its in two tongues (lenguas). But she meant to say that she had written it in two languages (idiomas). The butcher overheard them and assumed she wanted to purchase two cow tongues. My grandmother didnt realize it until she got home. She had never cooked beef tongue before!
Mistakes are inevitable when we are learning a second language, including learning the new language of Gods love. At times our speech is contradictory because we praise the Lord but then speak badly of others. Our old sinful nature opposes our new life in Christ. What comes out of our mouths shows us how much we need Gods help.
Our old tongue must go away. The only way to learn the new language of love is by making Jesus the Lord of our speech. When the Holy Spirit works in us, He gives us self-control to speak words that please the Father. May we surrender every word to Him! Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips (Ps. 141:3).
Lord Jesus, take control of my mouth today. Forgive me for careless, thoughtless, and angry words. Let my words bless You and others.
May the words we speak point others to Jesus.
A horse, though a very powerful animal, comes under the riders control with a small piece of metala bitin the animals mouth (James 3:3). By means of the reins and bridle, the rider pulls the bit, which presses against the horses mouth. This causes the horse to stop or move in the direction the rider dictates. In contrast, no human can tame the tonguea very small part of the body. However, the Holy Spirit can help us control our speech as we yield to Him.
