1 Corinthians 14.1-25-Let God speak through you-clearly-so others can understand
2 Kings 8-Elisha could see the terrible things that would be done to the people of Israel
Jonah 3-Jonah told the Ninevites their city would be destroyed-they repented
Psalm 1435.8-9, 14-21-God is abounding in steadfast love
1 Corinthians 15.35-37, 42-44-what is sown in is a physical body-what is raised is a spiritual body
Isaiah 25.6-9-let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation
"God must really have an imagination."- Words at the Butler County Fair yesterday- as we look at all the different animals- even the differences in the same animals – like rabbits- you stop and think- about a God who created all this life- what fun he had- what imagination- what differences he made in each one- and God can speak through some sheep-some rabbits or anything- and if you listen for his voice- and think about his creative power – maybe just maybe- you can interpret those "tongues" that are being spoken by beasts- you see- they trust in God to take care of all their needs- even if there are terrible times on the horizon for them (poor Elisha-what if he could see like this for the cattle-into the future)—even if they will someday be on the buns of a McDonalds sandwich (this is getting a little rediculous!) – they still trust in God to care for all their needs- a God that is abounding in steadfast love—so why don’t I do the same?- God speaks through these animals with a ton of fun imagination a message for me- to trust- to have faith in God- and to rejoice and be glad in his salvation—so what about the hamburger or the chicken sandwich?—(this is really goofy!)- I can rest assured that what is sown is a physical body and what is raised is a spiritual body—did God speak yesterday? – yea- I think with a whole bunch of fun and imagination – trust only in him- he has it all worked out.
Prayer- Today Lord I turn to you- I depend on you- I love you- I worship you- and I realize that salvation is only in you – let us be glad and rejoice—Thanks be to God! --- Amen
