Praise the Lord!

What a great day! Through all the trials Christ has the victory! Amen

Today I had the opportunity of going to Yazoo city Mississippi and work on our new DVD. This was one of My goals for the month of January.Praise God for His goodness.

We went to the Ped. doctor for Hanna. He said she looked great, but it seemed as if she had some fluid on her ears. He prescribed a anti-biotic for her. Please pray that this will allow her to sleep all the way through the night..

Thanks for viewing my blog.

Thanks for viewing my blog.

Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to teach college. Not something I do all the time as a matter of fact this was the first and only time that a pastor asked me to do it. But I had a great time.

The subject was the Pastor and his problems. And the lesson was on the Antagonist.
(Antagonist- a constant thorn in the flesh; one who is constantly contending with others.) As I was doing the study I discovered that their were a few antagonist in my life. And as I always say, you can't complain about them if your not praying for them.
But that isn't all that I learned.

I am so thankful for that opportunity to teach. As we well know that deputation is a time for learning, praying, and trusting.

May God bless you as you learn, pray and trust in Him today.

Devotion 1/2/07

Text:
Romans 2:1-5


Ro 2:1 ¶ Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

How does this text apply to me:
Therefore points back to the last verse in chapter #1 (but have pleasure in them that do them). we are inexcusable . To think for one second that we can judge others for the same sin we are committing and get away with it. We are so harsh when we judge but when God judges it is with mercy and justice. So the just of verse # 1 is "who do you think you are".
Verse # 2+3 is straight to the point we are sure of the judgment of God. We can't get around it we can't avoid it, and we can't pay our way out of it.
I am very guilty of verse #4 when I have sin in my life, I am ashamed to say but, I do not take into consideration the goodness of God. Sometimes His goodness to me, is taken for granted. I am so selfish, proud and arrogant that I believe that I deserve it because I am saved. And the thought has crossed my mind I am a preacher, I have extra favor with God. But it is not so.

Ro 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Ac 10:34 ¶ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

Prayer for the Day:

Help me to see myself as I am and not to think that I am better than anyone. Allow me oh GOD to humble myself before you must humble me. Since judgment is equal for all men no matter the color or the calling allow me to live as if it were my last to serve you!
