Whether it is raining in our hearts, torrential rains,
Or if the clouds are pulled back for a day.
God has all of this set in motion for our gain.
May we so surrender to Divine Providence and His Way.
Nehemiah comes back to Jerusalem after he finishes building the wall. He has a great calling to build a city, not just a wall. Nehemiah 7:16. "Nehemiah knew that the safety of a city, under God, depends more upon the inhabitants than upon its walls." M.Henry. Nehemiah knew their biggest enemy was not on the other side of the wall but in their sinful hearts. Let us guard against sin. Let us guard against living for this present world. When did we start having to make things relevant to reach people? When did we start having to entertain people to draw them in? Lower the lights, soften the music, make the message relevant, and whatever do you, don't offend the churchgoers. Wondering this Sabbath Day what God thinks of all that is going on in the name of Christianity in our world today? Let's deal with our own hearts this Sabbath. Finish our own wall. Guard against our own sin. The Lord is near.

Annette, Now I've deleted my post. Oh dear me. Does anyone see it?? My computer crashed and it is no longer under warranty so I lost everything on that computer. I'm on the Mac but can never get it to post. I have a lesson tomorrow at the Apple Store, I'll ask them. So sorry. I'll keep messing with it. Annette, can you try? You probably don't want to touch it but I do not care!
ReplyDeleteWell, I deleted it 3 times from Mac and cell before I finally got it back on. It's missing a couple of things like the link and psalms prayer but I'm leaving it alone for now. Whew!
ReplyDeleteLost the comments too. I think I have it back up. I have an Apple lesson tomorrow and will figure out what I am doing wrong. I don't think Macs like blogger.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this--we've been in wedding mode this weekend and about to be in baby mode. I am sorry you're having trouble. Mine is "shaking" too on the focus with the black background. I am not sure what is going on. Anybody else having trouble with it like this?

ReplyDeleteI see it now. Yesterday it was mainly just a white background. So sorry for your computer problems Bev...they are a blessing and a curse all at the same time. They are such an factor in our lives these days,,,,how did we ever live without them? We did, but does not seem totally possible. Thanks for all you do for Him and for us. Blessings on you today, dear Bev.
