Jordan's Idea

Read:
2 Timothy 3:14-17

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, . . . for instruction in righteousness. —2 Timothy 3:16

Bible In One Year: Exodus 39-40; Matthew 23:23-39

One spring day, Jordan began asking questions about Jesus' resurrection as his mom was taking him to preschool. Realizing he thought Jesus was rising from the dead for the first time this Easter, she tried to correct him. She pulled the car over and told him all about Jesus' death and resurrection. She concluded, "Jesus rose from the dead a long time ago, and now He wants to live in our hearts." But Jordan still didn't understand.

Unsure how she could make it any clearer, she said, "How about if we stop by the bookstore? I saw some books about Easter when I was there last week. We'll get one and read through it together." With a wisdom beyond his years, Jordan responded, "Can't we just read the Bible?"

Jordan's idea was right. Commentaries and books about the Bible are helpful tools. But they should never be used as a substitute for God's revelation of Himself—His Word. No other book has been given to us "by inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16). As author Eugene Peterson says, "God's voice [is] speaking to us, inviting, promising, blessing, confronting, commanding, healing."

Let's follow Jordan's idea and go first to the ultimate source of truth—the Bible. —Anne Cetas

Exhaustless store of treasured gems
Within this Book I hold;
And as I read, it comes alive,
New treasures to unfold. —Mortenson

Go to the Bible for your protection, correction, and direction.

A PRAYER FOR OUR SOLDIERS

Today as I knelt in prayer,
I asked my Holy Father for
angels to guide your way,
To protect you, to watch
over you both night and day.

To cover you with His precious
love and keep you from all harm,
To light your path when the way is dark
and when it's cold to keep you warm.

For you are an American soldier,
defending freedom with your life,
Leaving behind a family, children,
a husband or a wife.

But you are a true patriot,
guarding our country no matter the price,
A proud American, ready to
make the ultimate sacrifice.

So if you feel a gentle caress
or the brush of velvet wings,
You will know that angels hover
over you and they were sent by the
King of Kings!!


~~~~~~~~AMEN~~~~~~~~

Whom Would You Invite?

A woman came out of her house and saw
3 old men with long white beards sitting
in her front yard. She did not recognize them.

She said "I don't think I know you, but you
must be hungry. Please come in and have
something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.
"No", she replied. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in", they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in"
"We do not go into a House together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she asked.
One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth,"
he said pointing to one of his friends, and said
pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love."
Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband
which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said.
Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said.
"Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth.
Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"
Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other
corner of the house. She jumped in with her own
suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love?
Our home will then be filled with love!"
"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said
the husband to his wife.
"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the 3 old men,
"Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."
Love got up and started walking toward the house.
The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked
Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"
The old men replied together: "If you had invited
Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've
stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever
He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love,
there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"

MY WISH FOR YOU...

Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy.
Where there is self-doubting, I wish you a
renewed confidence in your ability to work through it.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I wish
you understanding, patience, and renewed strength.
Where there is fear, I wish you love, and courage.
