PLAY YOUR PART

So they came to John and reported to him, Rabbi, the Man Who was with you on the other side of the Jordan. . .notice, here He is baptizing too, and everybody is flocking to Him! — John 3:26

John the Baptist came to prepare the way for the Lord. That was his purpose on earth and he knew it. But John’s disciples tried to incite him to jealousy over Jesus’ ministry! John replied, “A man must be content to receive the gift which is given him from heaven; there is no other source” (John 3:27).

You have a unique role in the body of Christ. There is no point in being jealous of someone else’s spiritual gifts or ministry. God is the only source for gifts and His plan is perfect for each of us. If your gift is giving, then give with zeal. If your gift is helping, then help somebody! Rather than worrying about what others are doing, figure out what God wants and go do it!

Love and Lean on God

Read: Ruth 1:11–19

Ruth clung to her. Ruth 1:14

Zach was funny, smart, and well-liked. But he secretly struggled with depression. After he committed suicide at age fifteen, his mom, Lori, said of him, “It’s just hard to comprehend how someone that had so much going for him would come to that point. Zach . . . was not exempt from suicide.” There are moments in the quiet when Lori pours out her sorrow to God. She says that the deep sadness after suicide is “a whole different level of grief.” Yet she and her family have learned to lean on God and others for strength, and now they’re using their time to love others who are grappling with depression.

Lori’s motto has become “Love and lean.” This idea is also seen in the Old Testament story of Ruth. Naomi lost her husband and two sons—one who was married to Ruth (Ruth 1:3–5). Naomi, bitter and depressed, urged Ruth to return to her mother’s family where she could be cared for. Ruth, though also grieving, “clung” to her mother-in-law and committed to staying with her and caring for her (vv. 14–17). They returned to Bethlehem, Naomi’s homeland, where Ruth would be a foreigner. But they had each other to love and lean on, and God provided for them (2:11–12).

During our times of grief, God’s love remains steady. We always have Him to lean on as we also lean on and love others in His strength. — Anne Cetas

What does it mean for you to lean on God during your times of grief? Who may need your support right now?

Father, I’m grateful for Your faithful love and care for me. Use me to encourage others to trust You.

Bible in a year: Psalms 123–125; 1 Corinthians 10:1–18

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Did you and Blue get to go cruising today? A nice hike with Tippy?

[Kathy in Alaska]

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.

Tippy and I are doing some serious walking. We get up at 5:30 so we can walk to the pond and watch the sunrise together. Then we walk some more. I’ve lost a few pounds! :-)

Blue is ready, willing, and able, so tomorrow I may take a nice long ride.

:-)

[luvie]

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the
Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.

Awesome a capella...brings back memories of seeing GLAD in live concert.

[luvie]

I’m glad you enjoy the music. Providence have beautiful voices, and I have some Glad songs in my library, too, that are lovely.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sounds like you and Tippy are really enjoying your sunrise walks, and the side effect of losing pounds is good.

Hope you and Blue enjoy tomorrow.

[Kathy in Alaska]
