Refreshing Our Spirits With Scripture

 10.27- Pray for wisdom. A Comet can point to God's glory in the heaven's. Seasons. Sunshine and rain on wicked and the others Long days in summer and short days in the winter. Leaders come and go. Nations rise and fall. These spiritual gravity principals will be in place in December of this year if God wills. Treat others the way you want to be treated. God will provide joy in all circumstances as surely as he provides food for the sparrow. Train your conscience to reflect the character of God and then try to do the right thing to be a salt and light in this season for our nation and the world.. Matthew 24 24  Jesus left the temple  area  and was going  on His way   [ a ] when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him.   2  But He responded and said to them,  “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not  one  stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” 3  And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came

 10.26- My friend Samir is a dear friend who owns Midas in my town. He does what I needed him to do to help me with my car inspection. In addition he did four additional things. 1. Repaired a side mirror. 2. Washed outside my dirty car. 3. Vacuumed inside my filthy car. 4. Picked up and delivered to my house. He studies with me other friends how to be a kind man, husband, father and grandfather and friend. He hit a home run on Thursday for me. You will not believe when I tell you what he charged me so that will remain secret between me and him and our boss. If you need help with your car find Samir on Rufe Snow in North Richland Hills or Hurst. He owns both shops. John 13 5  Then He *poured water into the basin, and began washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself.   6  So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, You are washing my feet?”   7  Jesus answered and said to him,  “What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but

 10.25- The air we breath guides us to serve in the lowly roles. Servant, waiter, waitress table cleaner. Nail manicures. Foot washing. These are the greatest in our atmosphere. Whether you are Judas or Peter, God who is loves wants to wash your feet and that is the core of the friendship with him. John 13 5  Then He *poured water into the basin, and began washing the disciples’ feet and wiping them with the towel which He had tied around Himself.   6  So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, You are washing my feet?”   7  Jesus answered and said to him,  “What I am doing, you do not realize right now, but you will understand later.”   8  Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him,  “If I do not wash you, you have no  [ b ] place with Me.”   9  Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord,  then wash  not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!”   10  Jesus *said to him,  “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet; otherwise he is completely clean. An

 10.24- Enemies. How should we treat them? Love them. Respect them as humans beings created and designed to reflect the God of love. They might insult us or mock us, but if we choose to do so we can pray a blessing upon them. Let's do that more effectively than ever in the next few weeks. 1 Peter 3 8  [ d ] To sum up, all  of you  be harmonious, sympathetic,  [ e ] loving, compassionate,  and  humble;   9  not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you would inherit a blessing.   10  For, “ The one who desires life, to love and see good days , Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit . 11  He must turn away from evil and do good ; He must seek peace and pursue it . 12  For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous , And His ears attend to their prayer , But the face of the Lord is against evildoers .” 13  And who is  [ f ] there to harm you if you prove zealous for what

 10.23- Walk away from sensuality and impurity. Walk with a truthful map. Walk away from yesterday's failures and victories. Walk away from any lust that you are deceitful about. Walk with a new, fresh mindset of hope and opportunity. Walk away from falsehood. Walk away from any unwholesome word from your posts and pictures. Walk away from bitterness and vengeance. Run. Yes run toward kindness, tenderheartedness and forgiveness toward each other and yourself when you have failed. Celebrate with others on this great walk. Larry Wishard Ephesians 4 17  So I say this, and affirm in the Lord, that you are to no longer walk just as the  [ n ] Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their minds,   18  being darkened in their understanding,  [ o ] excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;   19  and they, having become callous, have given themselves up to indecent behavior  [ p ] for the practice of every kind of impurity
