2 Corinthians 13-Do better and pay attention to what I have said
1 Chronicles 3-4-Be with me so I will be safe from harm
Zephaniah 1-Not even your silver or gold can save you on that day when I, the LORD, am angry
Isaiah 56.1, 6-8-God- who gathers the outcasts of Israel
Ephesians 2.19-22-you are no longer stranger and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints
Psalm 127-Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
"That way I’ll got out with a bang."- A guy taking another job with another company- speaking about one of his last tasks he will do in front of a group of people- a controversial task- he’s looking to do better- to pay attention- doesn’t want to burn any bridges- wouldn’t want to make anyone mad- I wouldn’t want to make God mad with me- his anger can be vicious- he destroys evil- I pray God protects me from evil and gives me the strength to follow his lead- cause I am an outcast – but Jesus gathers me in – the Holy Spirit calls me into communion with the saints- to follow- I must let God build my house of faith and not try to build it on my own- and I must trust in a God so loving that he will be with me so I will be safe from harm. – did God speak yesterday? – I think so – right along with every Word he gives today—Lord—send me out with a bang- with a celebration in your honor this day.
Prayer- Lord, send me out today- let me celebrate this day in your honor- send me out with a message- of how you save – how you love- how you heal- of your great compassion – how you unite- how you lead- how you gather – send me out this day with a bang of glory and honor and praise in your name. --- Amen
