July 21st People Reflection

Thursday 7/21/2005

1 Corinthians 8-Be careful not to lead on unbeliever astray by my actions

1 Kings 22-God’s plan will turn out just like he wants

Amos 6-Don’t be haughty-it’s all about God not me

1 Kings 3.5-12-give me an understanding mind- to be able to discern good and evil

1 Peter 4.7-11-Above all, maintain constant love for on another, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Psalm 19.7-14-Clear me from hidden faults-O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

"Lord break that lamb so it will learn to follow."—A prayer of a friend about a lamb in preparation for a showing at the county fair—Oh how I feel like that lamb- How I feel I need to be broken- broken so that I don’t lead unbelievers astray with my action- broken so that I realize it’s not about me but all about God- broken so that I can see that I need understanding to discern good and evil- broken so that I can see the love God has given to me- the love God wants me to give others- that constant love maintained for each other- broken of my hidden faults- broken so I can learn to follow the Lord-my rock and my redeemer—Did God speak in a prayer yesterday?—No doubt about this one—every passage matches!

Prayer- Lord, break me today- I will follow- give me the understanding I need to discern good and evil and open my heart to your love and pour it out on all I meet this day. – Amen
