5/27–Be With Those That  Build You Up

Story:

There was once a man and woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted doilies and a stack of money totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents. “When we were to be married,” she said, “My grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily.”

The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. “Honey,” he said, “that explains the doilies, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?” “Oh,” she said, “that’s the money I made from selling the doilies.” 

Scripture:

Proverbs 9:8-10

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:

rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:

teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:

and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Can You Spare A Minute Or So 5/27?

If you can’t find five minutes, can you spare one or two?

Normal desires of life compared with greed remind one of the difference between a fire used for cooking and the out of control forest fire.   The forest fire can even “crown”.   This is a term fire fighters use to indicate a fire that has leaped to the very top of the trees and is blown along by the wind.

Greed can be like that “crowned” forest fire.    Blown along by the wind, it can lead to complete destruction for the person.

Greed is nothing more than desire out of control.

Don’t Get Revenge— Don’t Get The Last Lick

There’s an old saying: “I’m going to get the last lick.” In other words: “I’m going to get even.” Human nature often tells us that if someone hurts us, insults us, talks about us, or treats us unfairly, we need to strike back. We want the final word. We want revenge.

But revenge is a heavy burden to carry.

When you live trying to “get even,” you become chained to the person who hurt you. They move into your thoughts, your emotions, and your peace of mind. You replay the offense over and over, planning what you’ll say or do. Before long, they are controlling your joy without even knowing it.

Strong people don’t have to get the last lick. Strong people know when to let go.

Sometimes walking away takes more strength than fighting back. Sometimes silence speaks louder than shouting. Sometimes the greatest victory is refusing to let bitterness take root in your heart.

The Bible says in Romans 12:19: “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves… for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

God never asked us to carry the burden of revenge. He asked us to carry faith. He sees what others do. He sees the unfairness, the betrayal, and the hurt. And He can handle justice far better than we can.

Don’t spend your energy trying to settle every score. Put your energy into moving forward. Build instead of destroy. Bless instead of curse. Heal instead of hurt.

The person who always has to get the last lick stays stuck in yesterday. But the person who lets God handle it can step into tomorrow.

Today, refuse revenge. Refuse bitterness. Refuse to let someone else steal your peace.

Sometimes the greatest last word is no word at all.

Church Signs:

The church is our SPIRITUAL ARK; you get things in church YOU CAN’T GET ANYWHERE ELSE!

Story:

Filling up on junk– If I am coming home to a good home cooked meal, how hungry will I be if I stop off at a convenience stop and have a soft drink, chips, and a candy bar?  Probably not very hungry at all.  That’s why we can’t learn some of the good things of life, we are too full of the trivial, meaningless things to get to absorb the better.  I’m like a dried old sponge, ready to soak it up.  If a sponge is so dry that it is brittle and ready for the garbage, just a little water can bring it back to life.

Garbage—Excuses are for the most part is like garbage.  We think our excuse is different and bona fide.  It is like the garbage in my office.  If you ask what do I have in the can.  I don’t attempt to itemize it–an apple core, a banana peeling.  I just say garbage.

Scripture:

Amos 8:11

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD,

that I will send a famine in the land,

not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,

but of hearing the words of the LORD:

Can You Spare A Minute 5/26?

5/26–A brother was conducting a Bible study with a student who failed to put into practice what he was learning. One day, after the study, our brother mentioned to the student that he had bought a book on health and fitness with the promise: “Become as fit as a marine or  in sixteen weeks.”

    “You know,” he lamented, “I’ve had the book more than 16 weeks, I’ve read it more than three times already, and I’m STILL not as fit as a marine. In fact I’m just as unfit as I ever was.”

 “Have you been doing the exercises from the book?” the Bible student asked. 

“No,” the brother admitted. 

“Then how do you expect to get anywhere with the book if you just read it, but don’t do what it says …” 

The brother could tell by the way the tone of the student’s voice changed during the middle of his question that he had got the point!

The Value Of Being A Help

There is something powerful about a person who simply chooses to help. In a world where many ask, “What can I get?” there are still special people who ask, “What can I do?” The truth is this: helping others may seem small in the moment, but it often leaves a lasting impact.

Not everyone can stand in the spotlight. Not everyone can lead the parade. But every great accomplishment, every successful team, every thriving family, and every ministry has people behind the scenes who made a difference by being a help. Some plant seeds while others gather the harvest. Some build while others encourage. Some hold the rope while others climb the mountain.

The Bible reminds us in Galatians 6:2: “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Helping others is not weakness—it is strength in action. It reflects the heart of God.

Think about this: the smallest act of help can change someone’s day. A kind word, a hand offered in difficult times, a prayer, encouragement, or simply being present for someone who feels alone can make a tremendous difference.

The world often celebrates position and power, but heaven notices service. Jesus Himself washed the disciples’ feet and taught us that greatness is found in serving others.

Today, look for opportunities to help. You may never fully know how much your kindness means to someone. A helping hand can lift a burden, restore hope, and even change a life.

Thought for the day: You do not have to be rich, famous, or powerful to make a difference. Sometimes all God needs is a willing heart and helping hands.

You Could Be Big But You Let Little Get Hold Of You

https://youtu.be/GxHq_XNQIoM?si=okSchf0wLwcjV9Pj

Don’t let little get hold of you!

My 6-12-15 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
