Bible in a Year:
Give your servant a discerning heart . . . to distinguish between right and wrong.
Two-year-old Kenneth went missing. Yet within three minutes of his moms 9-1-1 call, an emergency worker found him just two blocks from home at the county fair. His mom had promised he could go later that day with his grandpa. But hed driven his toy tractor there, and parked it at his favorite ride. When the boy was safely home, his dad wisely removed the toys battery.
Kenneth was actually rather smart to get where he wanted to go, but two-year-olds are missing another key quality: wisdom. And as adults we sometimes lack it too. Solomon, whod been appointed king by his father David (1 Kings 2), admitted he felt like a child. God appeared to him in a dream and said, Ask for whatever you want me to give you (3:5). He replied, I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. . . . So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong (vv. 79). God gave Solomon a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore (4:29).
Where can we get the wisdom we need? Solomon said the beginning of wisdom is a fear or awe of God (Proverbs 9:10). So we can start by asking Him to teach us about Himself and to give us wisdom beyond our own.
In what areas do you need Gods wisdom? What might give you a teachable heart?
Im always in need of wisdom, God. I want to follow Your ways. Please show me which way to go.
2 year old “driving” to the fair? Oh my goodness!!
Thanks, Mayor, for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Did you do a good job of resting today?

Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Keep the Lord’s Day in the Lord’s way!
A blessed Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Western)/Eighteen Sunday after Pentecost & Sunday of the Holy Fathers (Orthodox) to all!
Thanks Kathy!
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
With the mixer gone my stress level has lowered and rest is important.

Pretty day up there but based on the weather report posting at the cam chat, it’s a bit brisk. BRRRRRRR
