Let It Go

Bible in a Year:

• 2 Samuel 21–22
• Luke 18:24–43

Do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Romans 13:14 Augustine’s autobiographical Confessions describes his long and winding journey to Jesus. On one occasion, he was riding to the palace to give a flattering speech for the emperor. He was fretting over his deceptive applause lines when he noticed a drunken beggar “joking and laughing.” He realized the drunk already had whatever fleeting happiness his shifty career might bring, and with much less effort. So Augustine stopped striving for worldly success.

But he was still enslaved by lust. He knew he couldn’t turn to Jesus without turning from sin, and he still struggled with sexual immorality. So he prayed, “Grant me chastity . . . but not yet.”

Augustine stumbled along, torn between salvation and sin, until finally he had enough. Inspired by others who had turned to Jesus, he opened a Bible to Romans 13:13–14. “Let us behave decently . . .  not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality . . . . Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.”

That did it. God used those inspired words to break Augustine's chains of lust and brought him “into the kingdom of the Son . . . in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:13–14). Augustine became a bishop who remained tempted by fame and lust, but he now knew whom to see when he sinned. He turned to Jesus. Have you? .

Reflect & Pray

What’s keeping you from giving your life to Jesus? How might your life change if you let it go?

Dear Father, let nothing come between me and You.

What It Was Like Flying And Fighting The F-16N Viper, Topgun’s Legendary Hotrod

It was hideously fast, incredibly maneuverable and a huge step forward for the US Navy’s aerial adversary capabilities.

Howdy, Kathy.

I hope this week isn’t quite as crazy as the last “off week”.

Nice to see some sunshine on your side of town at last. Strange day with it cloudy over there most of the day and sunny at the airports.

[radu]

Excellent video. Powerful imagery.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Hope you had a smooth Monday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu...hope your day was warm with no wind.

Skies overhead are still clear at my house. I’ve been chasing canadian geese out of the yard. I do NOT want them here. They are a pain in the neck and VERY messy.

Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) I’m still having problems with the router I use to connect to the internet, I have a new one that’ll arrive on Friday. Hope that fixes it. I have to connect direct to the socket to get on, the router is great because I have a wireless printer, and some other things that need the internet.
