The hardest part is being short. Blogs should be short.
Below are notes from the LifeChurch message today.
Any fool can count the seeds in an apple, only God can count the apples in a seed. His power is in the seed, our choice is in the soil (Hard, Rocky, Choked with weeds or good soil Mark 4:13-20).
- The Path-Hard: We have allowed hurts and disappointments with people have to make us hard-hearted, stubborn and willful. God turns that manure into fertilizer, a place from which we can minister to others.
- Antidote: Tell God "I am getting hard, cold not feeling, don't want to be that way. God will you just love on me? He will bring verses, remembrances
- Rocky Places: Trouble and Temptations take you away Ps. 119:9-11
- Thorns?: Our Own Kingdom, weeds
- We are unfruitful, saved but little to show
- Ps 119:105 Lamp to my feet
- Ps 119:133 Direct our footsteps
- Good soil, Bearing Fruit, whoever has will be given more, 30, 60 or 100 times
Two quick rules to Studying the bible:
| Never open the Book without praying that "I believe you will speak to me through your word". God depends on us reading His word. |
| Don't open it unless you're committed to obey "Help me to receive the grace to obey". He will till the ground. |
Eagle or Prairie Chicken? The eagle egg, rolling down the hill, adopted as a prairie chicken. Looked up one day to see a eagle flying. "WOW, I'd love to do that", the chickens told him to stick to pecking in the dust. You can soar with the eagles (Is 40), if you feed on the truth....
Read Psalm 119, a little each day
Melissa summed it up...I could "delve" into the word more, share what he says more. That's meat.
