Just Do It

Day of Year: 32

Date: 2.1.14
Favorite Verse: Matthew 11.4,5
4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: 5 the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the [e]gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he [f]who does not [g]take offense at Me.”

Thought for the day:  Jesus does not just talk about showing compassion.  He does things that make a difference.  Intentions are no substitute for us doing what we can to help people.  Love does.  The best witnesses for Jesus simply report on what is being done.

 8.26- God expects His children to forgive people who say they have repented and to do so over and over. He certainly is a forgiving God. He has great love and patience with His children. He is compassionate. He is gracious. he is slow to anger.  He is abounding in love. He is abounding in faithfulness.  Exodus 34 4  So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the  Lord  had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.   5  Then the  Lord  came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the  Lord .   6  And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The  Lord , the  Lord , the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness,   7  maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave ...

 8.19- If we suffer for doing wrong things that is normal and teaches us to stop doing that. Murder or even anger and hate are not proper for us. Embezelling, shoplifting and all stealing causes fine, jail and other trouble. Mature people we are taught to not even be "meddler" or "busybody in other people's business." God help us to Stay in our own lane. And Keep our eyes on your own paper. Let us Be quick to hear and slow to speak. I need to quit judging people start loving people instead. Now if we do right and get suffering for doing right then we can have joy in that suferrig. 1 Peter 4 15  If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.   16  However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

 8.31- You can find someone to tell you what you want to hear. RIt could be a palm reader. It could be an astrologer. It could be a crooked peddler of expensive vitamins. It could be a televangist who sells you a packet of water for a $10 donation. You  will not overcome the reality that it is appointed once to man to die and then comes the judgement. How we live in this life has consequences in the next life. Jesus teaches that those who are adopted into the family of God will not be condemned in the next life. What  a promise. 8  Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,   2  because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you [ a ]  free from the law of sin and death.   3  For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, [ b ]  God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering.
