Busybodies

When you’re not doing something productive in your life that leads many people to gossip and worry about others in a bad way. Have you ever heard idle hands are the devil’s workshop? There’s always that one person who finds out other people’s information and tells everybody. 

That person is a busybody. They go up to people and say did you hear about so and so? These people are annoying and most of the time they don’t have all the details so they could be spreading lies. 

He Knows What We Need

 “We do not know how to pray as we should. But the Spirit himself speaks to God for us.” Romans 8:26

You know, we really don’t know what to pray for, do we? What if God had answered every prayer that you ever prayed? Just think who you’d be married to. Just think where you’d be living. Just think what you’d be doing.

God loves us so much that sometimes he gives us what we need and not what we ask.

Lazy busybody

Proverbs 20:13

Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.

Change my heart:

Change my O God, make it ever true, change my heart O God, may I be like You.

We Can’t Surprise God

 “A person is made right with God not by following the law, but by trusting in Jesus Christ.”  Galatians 2:16

God is not stumped by an evil world. He doesn’t gasp in amazement at the depth of our faith or the depth of our failures. We can’t surprise God with our cruelties. He knows the condition of the world . . . and loves it just the same. For just when we find a place where God would never be (like on a cross), we look again and there he is, in the flesh.

Think it over…

Faith gathers strength by waiting and praying. - E. M. Bounds

Eternity is primary.  Heaven must become our first and ultimate point of reference.  We are built for it, redeemed for it, and on our way to it.  Success demands that we see and respond to now in the light of then.  All that we have, are, and accumulate must be seen as resources by which we can influence and impact the world beyond.  Even our tragedies are viewed as events that can bring eternal gain. - Joseph Stowell
