4 things

Here's some verses that stood out this morning...


Deuteronomy 4:9 But watch out! Be very careful never to forget what you have seen the Lord do for you.

How quickly are we all so ready to forget how God has come through for us, or propped us up when we're weak or have fallen down, or has simply sustained us with His love and power.

It's kinda like when Jesus fed the 5000 men (which prolly worked out to over 10,000 men women & children).
Jesus pulled off this miracle, but 2 chapters later, when they were in the same fix, the disciples didn't know what to do.I would hope if I saw God fee 10,000 people out of nothing, the next time we were in that fix, I'd have enough faith to say,"Uhm, Jesus, can't you feed these folks like you did the other day?!"
We forget God has done things for us over & over again. He's gonna come through. The question is always how & when, not if.


Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do.

This is life verse for my son, Heith Daniels. He even has it tattooed over his heart. Even though he's not perfect(who is?!) he's learning more & more to guard what he allows to come into the core of himself, his innermost person.
We are assaulted with all kinds of crap on a daily basis. Maybe we should be more like Heith & try to keep a lot of it from coming into our minds. It's so hard to keep the trash & blatant sin out of our lives that's shouting at us all around. But we at least have to try to keep it out.


Proverbs 4:25 Look straight ahead,& fix your eyes on what lies before you.

26 Mark out a straight path for your feet;

       then  stick to the path & stay safe.

27 Don't get sidetracked;

        keep your feet from following evil.

This is one of the 4 passages I held on to when God walked us through the season of leaving Macon & moving to Blairsville. I still hold on to it, especially these days as we continue to follow God into whatever He may have for us.
It ain't been easy. It ain't easy now.



Ephesians 3:20 Now glory be to God!

By His mighty power at work within you,

He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.


"infinitely more"

That's hard to see happening these days. I think God's at work in us & through us in ways we may never see until we get to heaven.
