September 22nd People Reflection

Thursday 9/22/2005

John 21-he did the same with the fish.

2 Chronicles 33-Kings turn to God- Kings turn away from God- back and forth

Psalm 89.1-18-You are strong and mighty!

Psalm 25.1-9-for you are the God of my salvation

1 Corinthians 10.11-13-So if you think you are standing, watch out that you do not fall.

Psalm 73-But for me it is good to be near God

"A pulse of air backfeeds each tube."—air that blows backwords through a filter in a dust collector – cleaning the dirt off the outside of the tube shaped filter- Jesus broke some fish and gave it to the disciples- after his resurrection- then he spoke to Peter- three times – do you love me- feed my sheep- Peter had denied Jesus three times- Jesus give Peter a puff of air – backwards- cleansing the dirt of sin from Peter- Kings in the old testament- turn away from God – repent and turn back to God- God forgives – with a puff of air of the life of the Holy Spirit- backwards – against the flow of sin – against the flow of false god worship- cleansing the kings- that breath of God- his Holy Spirit – the resurrection of Jesus – that backward pulse of air – cleansing the dirt of my sin – and saving me- for you are the God of my salvation- if I think I can stand on my own- all I have to do is realize the dirt of sin on me- then I know I need the pulse of air- that Holy Spirit of God’s forgiveness and that backwards pulse of air through my sin- that’s when God is near me- that’s when I know that I will fall- if I think I can stand on my own- "A pulse of air backfeeds each tube."—I need your Holy pulse of air in my life now and always.

Prayer-Lord forgive me- breath you Spirit –your breath of life into my life- Jesus- feed me the fish I need to live a life of service and dedication to you and your ways. – Send me out today in your name. --- Amen
