Howdy, PRO!

How’s the week going so far up there? Still dealing with sweater-weather mornings or has it finally warmed up overall?

[radu]

You have to be mighty quick to beat PRO. LOL

Howdy, luvie.

That is one TALL sunflower!!

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

It sure is! Has to be at least 8 feet tall. Fun to watch that sucker grow. LOL!

Use Me

Bible in a Year :

• Esther 3-5
• Acts 5:22-42

Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:31

James Morris was once described as “an illiterate but warmhearted layman,” but God used him to draw Augustus Toplady to saving faith in Jesus Christ. Toplady, the eighteenth-century author of the timeless hymn “Rock of Ages,” described hearing Morris preach: “Strange that I . . . should be brought nigh unto God . . . amidst a handful of God’s people met together in a barn, and under the ministry of one who could hardly spell his name. Surely this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous.”

Indeed, God does marvelous things in unlikely places and through those we may rank as “unqualified” or ordinary. In 1 Corinthians 1, Paul reminded believers in Jesus that they were an unimpressive lot. “Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth” (v. 26). Though the Corinthian believers were quite ordinary, by God’s grace they weren’t lacking in giftedness and usefulness (see v. 7). And God—who knows how to put boasters in their place (vv. 27-29)—was at work among them and through them.

Do you see yourself as “plain,” “ordinary,” or even “less than”? Don’t fret. If you have Jesus and are willing to be used by Him, you have enough. May your heart’s prayer be, “God, use me!”

Reflect & Pray

Who comes to mind when you think of one who’s been quietly but effectively used by God? What can you do to help shift your focus from what you have or don’t have to what God can do through you?

Heavenly Father, please forgive me for focusing on myself and not enough on You. Use me where I am in Your holy service.

Only 15 hours of daylight at 40˚N

It looks taller than that. Must be the angle. Still, 8 feet is mighty tall. And it’s very pretty.
