Looking Towards the Future

Psalm 25:4-5 “Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Saviour, and my hope is in you all day long.”

God asks us to give everything to Him. More than just making room for God in our plans put Him at the center of our choices. God then promises to guide us.

Psalm 139:9-10 “If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”

God teach us to listen to you.
God teach us to put our hope in you.
God bless us.
God lead us.

Pointing

John 5
3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed waiting for the moving of the water
8 Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk," 9 And immediately the mad was made well, took up his bed, and walk. And that day was the Sabbath.

Jesus healed one man out of the multitude of people that were there that were sick.

John 9:3-5
Jesus Answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

It's as if there is something bigger here than just making people physically well.

John 6:27
"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."

It's as if these miracles are designed to point us to God. As if that is more important than being physically well, or physically feed.

Objectively Optimistic

Sorry I haven't been posting recently but things have been busy lately. I am printing a 3 ft by 4 ft poster tomorrow so I hope that goes well. Anyways ...

I find this is the hardest things to do. To be objectively optimistic. I guess first I should describe what I mean by that. This is a sort of frame of mind that you are optimistic that everything will work out. Optimistic that people are good people and that they will do the right thing, that I will do the right thing. But it is not a blind optimism, that if sufficient evidence is shown that things will not work out, or people are not who they should be, I will be objective about the situation, and but being optimistic(not unrealistic). Whether this is finding a solution, changing my attitudes, or asking God for help.

The question then becomes what is sufficient evidence?

Anyways that is my 2 cents, hope your week is going good!!
