Thank God ...

... the words that are especially difficult are to “love our enemies”, “pray for those that spitefully use you”, and “turn the other cheek”, “bless those that curse you”

Often Simply turning away is the best I can do. Maybe I can bless them later.

Today is Friday and I sure hope you got to go home to Ohio, Dolly. Hope that ankle is feeling better and healing fast. Take it gently on the ankle and feel better soon! (((HUGS)))

On My Side

August 24, 2013

After diminutive Olympic athlete Gabby Douglas captured two gold medals in the 2012 London Games, she made this proclamation: “God will never fail you. He’s always on your side.”

Sometimes this kind of statement by an athlete can be misunderstood. It can be taken to mean that if I’m competing against you in a sports contest and I have God’s help, there is no way I can lose. But if we turn to Psalm 118:5-6, we get the true picture of what this line means. The psalmist wrote, “I called on the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.”

Another version translates verse 6 as “the Lord is with me” (niv). It’s the idea that when trouble comes into our lives, God, who is full of mercy and love (which “endures forever,” v.4) will always be attentive to us and provide the protection we need.

We don’t have to be an Olympic champion to appreciate this kind of divine attention. This is what we need when the economy falters and our finances can’t keep up. It’s what we need when a relationship we cherished falls apart. No matter what our situation, as Christ-followers we know where to find help. “The Lord is on my side.”

Be still, my soul—the Lord is on thy side!
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide—
In every change He faithful will remain. —von Schlegel
In the midst of every trial, God is on our side.

Read: Psalm 118:1-6

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. —Psalm 118:6
Bible in a Year:
Psalms 116-118; 1 Corinthians 7:1-19

Yep, they had a large stack, most in dark colors, I’ve got plenty of those, I actually found in the kids dept at wallyworld 4 different T’s with Bible stuff on them. Got 2, a hot blue and pink, the pink says Amazing Grace how sweet the sound. I can now fit in a girls Lg or xlg depending on maker.

I noticed on the web site they are down to under $5 now.

So lift up your heart to the heavens;
There’s a loving and kind Father there
Who offers release and comfort and peace
In the silent communion of prayer. —Anon.

I’ve been up quite a while, too. Finished my 2nd cup of coffee. Need some breakfast but I have to fix it when I get to going better. Cereal would be easy but I’d prefer some scrambled eggs and toast and jelly.

Looks like a lovely day in store today. I almost feel like I could lay back down....LOL! Coffee is supposed to pep us up but I don’t find that to be true! Of course, I love my coffee in the morning.

Wishing you and everyone a beautiful and peaceful Sunday!!
