Let Go!
Read:
|
A 14-year-old North Carolina boy refused to stop playing his Nintendo Game Boy during school hours. The principal was called in and he still refused to stop. When the school liaison officer tried to search him, the teen kicked and punched him. The police were summoned, yet the boy adamantly resisted. Only after the officers gave him two shocks from a Taser gun were they able to remove the toy from him. He was uninjured, but one officer was bitten by the boy.
How can someone be so obstinate! Consider Pharaoh's stubborn refusal to let God's people go despite numerous plagues (Exodus 5-9). Only after the seventh plague did Pharaoh begin to relent (9:27-28).
Pharaoh was foolish to harden his heart against God. Yet look at who hardened their hearts in the wilderness. Hebrews 3:15-16 says, "If you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?" Even those who had seen God's deliverance from slavery in Egypt rebelled against Him!
Today, let us ponder whether God is speaking to us. Could it be that we are clinging to some "toy" and refusing to let Him be Lord of our lives? Albert Lee
God must rule our hearts if our feet are to walk His way.
Hey Rus! Am I first?

Thank You
I am grateful to all those who serve our great country, past and present.
Your welcome DD, happy to be of service to you.
Actually it's been pretty nice the past couple days, tomorrow will be 53.
Tuesday things go downhill with cold and snow, I have to lay a block foundation tomorrow and start framing a 8 X 12 addition tuesday.
I will have to cover it with a tarp and get a torpedo heater to keep warm. It's the Lords timing, I thank Him for the work.
Thanks for the double Thanks... : )
I am thankful for you that you have the work to do...I just hope you get it done before the snow piles up. Keep as warm as you possibly can. I don't know exactly what a torpedo heater is, but be careful and keep it vented. (as if you didn't already know that! LOL!)
