Informing God

Read: Psalm 139:1-6

Can anyone teach God knowledge? —Job 21:22

Bible In One Year: Ecclesiastes 1-3; 2 Corinthians 11:16-33

---

We cannot tell God anything He doesn't already know. When we pray, we simply put into words what He's been aware of all along.

That doesn't make prayer unnecessary; rather, it encourages us to pray. We find relief in talking to Someone who knows us and our situation fully. It's a comfort to know that God's response arises not from information we give Him, but from His perfect knowledge of our circumstances. He knows all conditions—past, present, future—that bear on our well-being.

"Your Father knows," Jesus said in Matthew 6:8. He knows our thoughts, our intentions, our desires; He is intimately acquainted with all our ways (Psalm 139:3). He knows the anguish of our heart, the strain of continual frustration, the enemies inside and outside that war against our souls.

So, can we presume to dictate the time and terms of our deliverance from trials or adversity? Can we say our way is better, more likely to develop our soul? No, we cannot teach God anything. He alone knows the way to bring us to glory. Out of all possible paths, He has chosen the best, the route most adapted to who we are and what He has in store for us.

We cannot teach God knowledge, but we can love and trust Him. That's all He asks of us. —David Roper

The answer God may choose for me
Is sure to be the best,
So may I always thankful be,
And in His goodness rest. —D. De Haan

God knows the end from the beginning, so we can trust Him with everything between.

Memory

Is this some kind of practice, or is it memory?
The wings seem such a perfect fit, as is the harmony.
It’s easy to see angels, who look like little girls,
It’s not so easy to perceive, the grit inside the pearls.

Do we have here some angels who’ve descended in a flight,
Or is it just some sweethearts playing dress-up for the night?
You cannot know the answer, and that should give you pause,
To listen to the message, and to think about its cause.

Good morning, Victoria. Happy Sunday.

Thanks for Etta James' "At Last". It's nice!! We haven't been playing enough music lately!!

We went to a football game last night. Marissa and I left early; went to the car to take a nap. :)

She loved the first half but started to get tired about 9:00.

Thanks for the tagline suggestion.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, Tulip! Happy Sunday ... hope you are enjoying your weekend at home.

It got kinda cold last night .... I brought out an extra blanket. Maybe my power bill will be lower next month. :)





As you can see it is only 63 at 10:40. Looks to be another cool day and very cool night.

Have a tremendous week.

I may look for more Kerry quotes and post them tomorrow.
We have been planning to attend an Italian Celebration today but hubby is not feeling great. We may miss it. He told me to go without him but, he's the Italian. :)

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Mayor. Happy Sunday to you and yours.

I hope your weather is as nice as ours is.

Thank you for bringing our scripture lesson this morning.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, AG

Our team thanks you.

Hope you are having a beautiful Sunday.

[JustAmy]

Good morning, MoJo. Great to see you today!

Hope you are having a beautiful Sunday.

Thank you for the wonderful music. Don't worry about the music being offensive. Most music (except rap) does not offend me. I enjoy music.

You have given us a great selection. Hope you stop by often with more music.

Talk about being a slacker .... did you notice that I didn't get the Welcome graphic and poem posted until 10:30 this morning? I overslept and then couldn't seem to get started.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

New York Rap
By Benny Hill

Now gather folks and lend an ear, I tell you I'm just pickled tink to be here.
I came across on a Concorde jet, a trip two old ladies would never forget.
They said to the guy with the captain's hat, "Don't fly faster than sound because we want to chat."
This gal at the airport security said she'd have to search me thoroughly.
"Why that's an insult," my manager reckons, but I didn't care, I went back for seconds.
I went to this cafe and I had lobsters, oysters, soup of the day.
The waitress brought me fries and steak and apple pie and chocolate cake.
"What'll I wash it down with, Miss?" I calls, she says, "How about Niagara Falls."

I tell this big guy the name of my hotel, I said, "What's the quickest way to get there, pal?"
He said, "You take the subway to Washington Square, Washington Square you're almost there."
Well on the subway I can see, folk 'round here love poetry.
There's "I think married life is grand, it's just my husband that I can't stand."
And he who laughs when things go wrong has just thought of someone he can blame it on.
It's on the ceiling and it's on the floors, "I upped my income--up yours!"

Now there was a gal sitting next to me on the train with a figure that would drive a man insane.
I says, "I'm a stranger around here, Miss, could you direct me to where your house is?"
We got off at Union Street and her apartment was cool and neat.
She slipped off my jacket as we walked in, she said, "Kick off your shoes, pour me a gin."
I started to pour, I said, "You will say when," she said, "Right after I finish that gin."

Now by time I poured myself a beer she had changed into something cool and sheer.
She stood real close and she smelled divine, and as she pressed her soft, red lips to mine,
I heard a knock, I heard a roar, she said, "That's my husband at the door."
I said, "I'll jump out the window, he sounds vicious," she said, "We're thirteen floors up," I said, "I'm not superstitious."

The door burst open and in he came, I hid my face in fear and shame.
I turned my back as I buttoned my shirt and I prayed to God I wouldn't get hurt.
I turned and nervously opened one eye and I was face to face with this huge guy.
Then I heard his voice cut through the air, he said, "I thought I told you to get off at Washington Square."

So let me shout it loud and clear, I'm glad to be alive and I'm glad to be here.
Oh yeah!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Mojo!!! Thanks for the fabulous music. And yes, come back anytime.

Hope you're having a great day.

[Victoria Delsoul]

She loved the first half but started to get tired about 9:00.

LOL, she's just a little kid, I don't blame her. :-)

The world looks very different
Through the eyes of a migraine
Distorted
Fracted
Like broken glass stirred in water
The chaotic vision
Like the calm before the storm
The view is a nuissance
but it is nothing compared to the pain
which follows
