Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Paul Harvey tells the story of a young rookie lawyer who was sitting in his new office waiting for his first client. When he heard the outer door open, he quickly tried to sound very busy.
As the man entered the office, the young lawyer picked up the telephone and said, “Bill, I’m flying to New York on the Mitchell Brothers thing; it looks like it’s going to be a biggie. Also, we’ll need to bring Carl in from Houston on the Cimarron Case. By the way, Al Cunningham and Pete Finch want to come in with me as partners. Bill, you’ll have to excuse me, somebody just came in…”
He hung up and turned to the man who had just entered and said, “How may I help you?”
The man said, “I’m here to hook up the phone!”
We do not have to exaggerate our supposed talents or abilities to be acceptable to Jesus.
He loves us anyhow.

1/7–Your life is shaped by the doors you walk through and those you walk past.
Story:
1/7–A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strode through his backyard, baseball cap in place and toting ball and bat. “I’m the greatest baseball player in the world,” he said with pride. Then he tossed the ball in the air, swung and missed. Undaunted, he picked up the ball; he threw it into the air and said to himself, “Yes, I’m the greatest player ever!” He swung at the ball again. Again, he missed. He paused a moment to examine bat and ball carefully. Then once again he threw the ball into the air and said, “I’m the greatest baseball player who ever lived.” He swung the bat hard and again missed the ball. “Wow!” he exclaimed. “What a pitcher!””
Scripture:
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

1/7–I was admiring my aunt’s necklace when she surprised me by announcing, “I’m leaving it to you in my will.” I was overjoyed, perhaps too much. “Oh!” I shouted. “I’m looking forward to that!” —Mona Randem
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
A company hired a new CEO. This new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.
While taking a tour around the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he thought that this was his chance to show everyone he meant business!
The CEO walked up the man and asked, “And how much money do you make?” A bit surprised, the young man looked at him and replied, “I make $ 700 a week. Why do you ask?”
The CEO took out some cash and handed the man $ 700 in cash and then screamed to him, “Here! This is your last pay, now get out because you are fired!”
That was his first firing and he felt pretty good about it! He looked around and asked the workers, “Does anybody know what that slacker did here?” With a grin, one of the workers muttered, “He’s the pizza delivery guy, Sir.””
Scripture:
Matthew 7:1-2
Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Anger can be lethal. Dr. Lewis Smedes, one of America’s foremost ethicists, told of writing a book on forgiveness. As a part of the book promotion campaign, he appeared on a talk show where people could call in and respond to what he had said.
One lady called and said her child had been killed by a drunk driver and there was no way she could forgive the driver of the automobile. Before Dr. Smedes could answer her, another lady called and said, “I had the same experience.
Four years ago, a drunk killed my son. For two years I held on to my anger and hoped for revenge. Then one day, I realized that the man who killed my son was killing me.”
Let go of anger or it will destroy you. If you hold onto a lighted match long enough, you are the one who will be burned.

Why, I know 50,000 things that won’t work.”
