Desperate For Answers

READ: Deuteronomy 18:9-14

When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. —Deuteronomy 18:9

A popular afternoon television program a few years ago was hosted by a self-proclaimed medium. He supposedly received messages from spirits of the dead to give to their family members in his studio audience. His readings prompted many people to believe in this occultic practice.

We live in a culture where people are desperate to know their future, and they’ll turn to psychics and mediums for answers—a practice expressly forbidden in the Scriptures.

The ancient Israelites were desperate to know their future, and God knew that they would be tempted to consult ungodly sources for answers. So He warned them to stay away from mediums and those who contact the dead (Lev. 19:26,31; 20:27; Deut. 18:9-14).

God knew that these practices would prevent ancient Israel from being a holy, set-apart people who would be a blessing to all nations. The future for Israel was determined by their faithfulness to God’s covenant, not the words of soothsayers and psychics. Reliance on these evil practices indicated a failure to trust the Lord with their lives.

When you are desperate for information about your future, turn to the sovereign God of heaven. He is the only One who holds the answers you seek.

Shall not He who led me safely
Through the footsteps of this day
Lead with equal understanding
All along my future way? —Adams

The what of our future is determined by the who of eternity.

Bible in One Year: Esther 7–8; Proverbs 10:12-21

World's Biggest Hamburger (third from left) ?


Ode to a Hamburger

Oh, burger, sizzling on the grill,
I can not make my heart stand still.
I've got the Heinz anticipation,
That “where's the beef” articulation.

A cattle call of bovine bliss
Summoo-ns us to meat like this.
This charcoal round-up will succeed,
Behooving order—not stampede.

My nose is filled with your aroma,
I'm tripping to cholesterol coma.
You are clearly heavenly chow.
I call you my chopped “Holy Cow.”

You are truly rare indeed,
In bun adorned by poppy seed.
My love for you is nothing phony.
Bull-eve me, this is not bull-oney.

You slow me with your mooving kiss,
But I'll catch up and relish this.
I crave your fat, I'm tired of starches.
Eat your heart out, Golden Arches.

Happy Birthday Beatrix Potter

'Now my dears,' said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, 'you
may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr.
McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there;
he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor.'

From "A Tale Of Peter Rabbit"

Good morning, Derllak.

Our family is a family of cheese lovers, but ..... I’m not sure it would win over chocolate. Well .... Marissa and I would choose the chocolate. Hubby and son would choose the cheese.

Have a good day.
