The guys' study was at my house, minus Gary who has been in Sichuan and will now be traveling to Russia and Serbia/Yugoslavia. We will not be playing Settlers on Fridays nights any more, this will need to be a different time and activity separate from our study time.
Jaime leaves for the States on Monday...this weekend will be focused on us.
The Daily Bible
The Lord directs through cloud and fire that rest on the Tabernacle when and where the Israelites are to camp, then when the cloud or fire lifted it was time move out to follow the Lord. Moses is given 70 elders that will share the Spirit of the Lord and assist with administrative duties and the people are given quail to eat, which comes with a plague so that many who were murmuring died.
Boundaries in Marriage
God is holy. God is life and the ultimate reality, so to be anything but holy is to move away from God. If every marriage were to strive for holiness, the following would be present:
- Confession and ownership of the problems in each individual
- A relentless drive toward growth and development
- A giving up of everything that gets in the way of love
- A surrendering of everything that gets in the way of truth
- A purity of heart where nothing toxic is allowed to grow
Prayer
God you are holy, you are reality, without you there is nothing. Bless us to see you daily, to know you, to long for you and find you in every person we meet and activity we participate in. Lord, call us to your holiness. Call us to your reality. Bring us close to you and remove our sin. Bless us to be a blessing. Watch over us, be with the sick, hurting, and lonely people of this world, bring them into your tender loving arms. Remove the wicked, replace them with the righteous in positions of power and blessing. Let the world see the true nature of sinful leaders, leaders who would draw us closer to sin and Satan, then God let them know you as their God, Savior, Friend, and Beloved. You have all power and pleasure. May we grow in you to be like Jesus, amen.
