Here’s something to consider as we head into the weekend .
Joel 2:23 Be glad, people of Zion,rejoice in the Lord your God,for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful.He sends you abundant showers,both autumn and spring rains, as before.
Be glad.
Here’s an interesting idea to consider as you get your week started. This is neat because it makes you think about how you view yourself and others.
Be a role model, not a critic.
Seems familiar. Like the leaders the Lord wants for his church.
The overseer then must be irreproachable, husband of one wife, sober, discreet, decorous, hospitable, apt to teach; (1 Timothy 3:2 DARBY)
Today be t’ day we all look towards though’t the year. It be TLPD 2013. Argh!
Me buckos and I be using th’ fair winds to scourge the land for booty, but I must heave to and tell ya a tale that be fitting to be told.
Forget ye not, the ol’ buccaneer that let th’ scallywags cleave him to the brisket and hang ‘im from the yardarm. He be doing this fer you, and ye be just a scurvy dog yeselve. This be worth more than bags of doubloons.
Savvy?
But now ye be shipshape. Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen!
1 Peter 2:24 “He hisself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die t’ sins ‘n live fer righteousness; “by his wounds ye ‘ave been healed.”
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God’s word is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (2 Timothy 2:8-10 NIV)
I seem to be big on promises these days. Here is another one that gives great comfort. Check out this promise from the son of God. He invites you to ask him to come. Oh you have to do is open the door. Wow!
Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
