one last for tonite

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ." --Philippians 1:27a

Bible 4 me

After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it." --Matthew 14:23-24

"I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free." --Psalm 119:32<---- awwwwwwww ! I have always loved this verse

"Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please." --Isaiah 46:9, 10 <----hmmm . Wonderful but scarry !


Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory." --Romans 8:17 <-----
Now, my problem is, I want the inheritance, but without the suffering :(


I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do... What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!" --Romans 7:15, 24-25 <--- if PAUL says so about himself, I wonder what I should say about *ME*

"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" --Romans 6:1, 2

bread of idleness ?

"She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness." --Proverbs 31:27

I feel like that sometimes !!! am I idle ?:(

moreeeeeeee

"The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride." --Ecclesiastes 7:8

But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." --Romans 8:25

'Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive."' When he had said this, he knelt down with all of them and prayed. They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him. What grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship." --Acts 20:32, 35-38

"If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men." --1 Corinthians 15:19

some more

"'Then will I purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him shoulder to shoulder.'" --Zephaniah 3:9

"I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old--what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done." --Psalm 78:2-4

In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat--for he grants sleep to those he loves." --Psalm 127:2 <------- U sure Love me a lot , Lord :D

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." --Proverbs 22:1

"The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down." --Proverbs 14:1


I forgot to mention, that yesterday I was going to spend the night with safa and the kids, I finished my shift at 12:00 PM, I was driving at the highway, and wondering why is it SO dark, much darker than ususal, only to realise that I have been driving for 9 miles with half the car lights off !!!
Lord have mercy !!!!

"Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth." --Hosea 6:3


Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." ~Romans 12:2 Remember the last couple of lines in Anastasia when they elope and then the Dowager Empress's cousin says, "It's a perfect ending," but then the Dowager Empress says, "No...it's a perfect beginning!" This might be a little like that.

I know the master of the wind

I know the maker of the rain
he can calm the storm
make the sun to shine again
I know the master of the wind.

"The choice between no God and God "Poem

The choice between no God and God
Lord God I have never spoken to you
But now I want to say how do you do ?
you see, God, they told me you didn't exist
and like a fool I believed all this
Last night from a shell hole I saw your sky
I figured right then they had told me a lie
Had I taken time to see the things you made
I'd have known the weren't calling a spade a spade
I wonder God if you'll take my hand
somehow I feel that you'll understand
funny I had to come to this hellish place
before I had time to see your face
Well I guess there isn't much more to say
but I am sure glad, God, I met you today
I guess zero hour will soon be here
but I am not afraid since I know you're near
the signal! well God, I'll have to go
I like you Lord, so I want you to know
Look now this will be a horrible fight
who knows? I may come to your house tonight
though I wasn't friendly to you before
I wonder, God, if you'd wait at your door
Look I am crying, I am shedding tears
I'll have to go now God, goodbye
strange now that I met you
I'm not afraid to die

Though the fig tree does not bud

I am as ever, an avid listener or Ravi Zachariah. I think he is one of the greatest Bible teachers ever... listening now to one of his sermons :

WHY ? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ?
we assume 2 things when we ask this question :
1- that someone can give me an answer
2- that there must be an answer to this question
we have a lot of questions and very few answers :(

habaq : how long o Lord must I call for help but u do not listen .............. ( check Bible)
God;s initial response : I am going to do something in ur days that u would not believe ....

The 3 queries in Habaqok's mind :
( these questions only make sense when they r put in context & linked to each other)
1-Lord , how long must I cry for help and u do not listen, and cry to you violence.
Violence means to take something away from its intended use , to violate it.
Violence, Lord, can u help us understand this ?
2- Why do u not speak out when there is so much injustice ?
He puts violence hand in hand with injustice.
3- How can u tolerate so much evil ?
There is no moral point of defining evil left.
God will u not speak to me ??

and God started to answer :
( check the Bible )

1- I AM. The existance of God. U have to understand: God is in the equation. there is no essence in the questions if there is no God. The existance of God in response to atheism. What do u violate if there is no purpose and no essence?
God is like the sun, u can not look at it, but without it u can not look at anything
God said to Cain- before the 1st crime was commited-:why r u angry ? if u do not do what is right.................. u must master it ( 3end al bab 7'ateyya rabeda , elaika eshtyaqha wa anta tasood 3alaiha)
Right and wrong find their defintion from the reality of God.
2- Time is the brush of God as he paints His master peiece in the canvas of human heart. God works in time, through time, He does not work like a slot machine but like a master.
GOD ORDERS UR STEPS AND STOPS UR STEPS UNTIL UR WORK IS FINISHED FOR HIM.
The one who brought us into this world is the same one who is going to drive us to our destination. We are in good hands.
3- I will wait patiently... though the fig tree......
if time is the brush with which God paints on the human heart , then eternity is the prespective with which we get a look at the full picture.
The sovreign Lord is in control, he makes my feet like the feet of the deer! halleleujah !

Remember Jacob runing and runing , God helped him only after he asked him : what is ur name ? do u think God did not know his name ? He did , but God wanted to remind him about his lies , his deciet ...... Only then did God bless him

Disturb us, O Lord
Disturb us, O Lord
when we are too well-pleased with ourselves when our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little, because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, O Lord

when with the abundance of things we possess, we have lost our thirst for the water of life when, having fallen in love with time, we have ceased to dream of eternity and in our efforts to build a new earth, we have allowed our vision of Heaven to grow dim.
Stir us, O Lord
to dare more boldly, to venture into wider seas where storms show Thy mastery, where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars.
