Our very good mod’s removed it quite quickly for me! It was my main post (pink framed) and the first one, the writing was centered and the graphic was to the left!! I did it again and got it right!

A Spiritual Journey

July 12, 2010

The miracles that God worked through Moses challenged the many gods of Pharaoh. Yet, in another time, there was a Pharaoh who promoted the belief in one deity. Pharaoh Akhenaten pointed to the rising and setting sun as the great deity who gave life to the earth. His religious symbol for Aton, the sun god, was represented by a single disc of light with emanating rays. Though this Pharaoh’s idea came closer to the one God of the Bible, it was still idolatry.

When Paul addressed the people in Athens, he was grieved by the idolatry in that city. Yet he used the people’s imperfect understanding of God to point them to the God of Scripture. Of their efforts in trying to find God, Paul said: “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands” (Acts 17:24).

In our increasingly pluralistic world, the people around us may worship a multiplicity of deities. Yet their spiritual journey need not end there. We never know when someone might be moving toward the kingdom of God. Following the example of Paul, we should respect a person’s religious background, watch for spiritual receptivity, and then point him or her to the one true God of Scripture.

A Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to lead the lost away from all that is false. And to lead them to You—the one and only God— who alone offers true life. Amen.

God alone is worthy of our worship.

Read: Acts 17:22-31

You turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. —1 Thessalonians 1:9

Bible in a year:
Psalms 4–6 & Acts 17:16-34

SUMMERTIME

The leaves of autumn gently fall
And cover up the ground
As they turn yellow, orange, and red
Without the slightest sound

The hand of winter slowly steals
The foliage from the trees
Then covers up their nakedness
With snowflakes in the breeze

In spring the leaves all reappear
New flowers bud and bloom
The birds sing happy arias
While flowers give perfume

Then summertime oh summertime
So busy and so gay
Mother nature saved you summertime
For the children hard at play

Autumn, winter, and the spring
All had their turn as host
But summertime oh summertime
The children love you most

Going to be another busy week at the Just Household .....

I will be back soon, time to drive Marissa to VBS. It is a 24 mile round trip. We will pick up Michael. It is from 9:00 to 12:00.

Hopefully this will be the last of my busy, busy weeks until we take our vacation in August.

Thank you all for your wonderful posts this weekend.

Wishing you all a Marvelous Monday.
