Hospital, Day #2

7/31/2009

 
My son, despise not thou the
chastening of the Lord, nor
faint when thou art
rebuked by Him.
Hebrews 12:5


Well, here I go again. I was in this predicament last year at about this time, and now I'm back, courtesy of the Lord's loving discipline combined with my foolish behavior...

The Work of Righteousness

7/20/2009

 
And the work of righteousness shall be peace;
and the effect of righteousness quietness and

7/17/2009

and the furnace for gold, but
the Lord tests the hearts. 
Proverbs 17:3


As a batch of silver or gold has to be sent through the refiner's fire to be purified and cleansed from any impurities, so we, too, as believers in Christ, must pass through many "fiery" trials in order to become pure in heart as well as better able to reach higher levels of spiritual maturity...

Rest

7/2/2009

 
The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters...
He restoreth my soul. 
Psalm 23:1-3a


The Lord is my shepherd. He definitely knows how to make me to lie down in 'green pastures' when He wants me to rest...
