My Reflections

God Is My Refuge. I Trust In Him.

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Psalm 112:1-8
Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

How can we apply these verses to our own life?

Answer:
When we trust in the Lord, we have nothing to fear. God is our refuge and strength. To live is Christ and to die is gain. It is win-win.

Scripture writing - Acts 16:29-34

Scripture:
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Observations:
The prison guard washed Paul and silus’s wounds and fed them.

Application:
Hospitality is simply attending to the needs of a guest whoever they might be.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Help me to always show compassion and hospitality to my guests.
In Jesus's name,
Amen

Prompt: What do you think of humor and why is humor sometimes used as a defense mechanism?

Sometimes it is just better to laugh than cry.

Write about who's a square for your Blog entry today.

I don't really go around thinking of people as square. I imagine you would think of a pastor that way. I guess it depends on what you think is square. 🤔

Day 3062: April 6, 2021

Prompt: “Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us.”
― Brian Jacques, Taggerung

Write about flowers and comfort.

Flowers are nice to look at. I can't say for me personally that flowers and comfort go together though. 🤷‍♀️
