by singmetosleep29
“And a certain ruler questioned Him,
saying, ‘Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call Me
good? No one is good except God
alone. You know the commandments, ‘Do
not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not bear false witness,
honour your father and mother.’’
“And he said, ‘All these things I have
kept from my youth.’ And when Jesus
heard this, He said to him, ‘One thing you still lack; sell all that you
possess, and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven’
and come, follow Me.’
“But when he had heard these things, he
became very sad; for he was extremely rich.
And Jesus looked at him and said, ‘How hard it is for those who are
wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
“’For it is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.’ And they who heard it said, ‘Then who can be
saved?’ But He said, ‘The things
impossible with men are possible with God.’” Luke 18:18-27
Disappointment with God is a book of
theology … a book about the nature of God and why He sometimes acts in puzzling
ways and … sometimes does not act at all!
This book is filled with many questions and pathways through stories we
can relate to where the simple answer lurks.
Like the rich young ruler, the treasures of the kingdom is found in unexpected
places.
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ,
Darlene (who prays for you each morning).

for the next three weeks before he resumes chemo. Pray for his healthcare providers, his
patience and wisdom. Pray he is

wisdom and patience). Penne has

USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians it
is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and know that God has a plan for
the USA through this man. If you doubt
the importance of his appointment, just look at the baseless antagonism against
him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan. Pray someone helps President Trump and Melania to understand the true meaning of a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that they will both have a
insatiable hunger to read God’s Word for themselves – and that God sends a Bible-Believing
Christian to regularly disciple them in the Truth – and that God shuts the
mouths of the false prophets who regularly circle around them.
·
Fred I – planning a move from California to Tennessee in
the Fall of 2020 (if possible). Pray for
his wise attention to detail, stamina and roaring good health, as he makes
these life changes.
·
Unnamed
– lost both her parents within six months after a lifetime of caring for
them. Her husband’s mother died in
January and his 94-year old father now lives with them. Pray they take time for each other and keep
their faith strong.
Pray for those in full-time service
During this time, when the entire world is struggling to
understand this new ‘plague’, it is critical for us to uphold our Christian
leaders. They will be needed
everywhere. Pray for their wisdom,
safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones who are
fragile health wise. It is important to
protect them in practical ways and most important we must pray even more for
them that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
