One of my passwords is the name of a teacher that saw something in me that others didn’t see. I thank God for that educator because she was sent to me at the right time in my life.

God has provided each believer with the promise of one who offers divine instruction.

John 14:26

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Don’t give Him a hard time because He has only your interests in mind.

Give it some thought.

Considering religion and religious figures throughout history, there is just something remarkably different about Jesus. They just don’t get it.

Matthew 27:42

“He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.

The time will come when He will take His rightful place as the King of Israel. However, in the present dispensation, He is truly saving others as the accusers stated.

Has He saved you yet?

Give it some thought.

Walter Brennon sang “Old Rivers” and it still touches me after all these years.

He’d say, one of these days
I’m gonna climb that mountain
Walk up there amoung the clouds
Where the cotton’s high
And the corn’s a-growin’
And there ain’t no fields to plow.

However in that song, the plan never materialized. How many plans never seem to work out?

This is what the Scriptures have to say about plans.

Proverbs 19:21

There are many plans in a man’s heart,
Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

Give it some thought.

We make plans and sometimes they work out and sometimes they don’t.

When God has a plan, He bats a thousand.

Acts 2:23

 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;

Jesus wasn’t crucified because He drove the money changers out of the temple with a whip or because of the scribes and Pharisees. It was the plan of God before the foundation of the world.

Trust the one who bats a thousand.

Give it some thought.

They just sat in class and listened enough to pass the courses; however, after graduation, they just were not able to perform the work. These people could listen but couldn’t do.

James 1:22

 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

God expects us to translate the Word into productive experience.

Let’s go out there and present Christ to a world that is perishing.

Think about it.

When children come into the world, they already know life is about them. They need to be trained that crying won’t move the grownups every time and toys do need to be shared.

Paul was pointing out this fact to the believers at Philippi. You would think they would have known that principle because they were believers, but no, it needed to be stressed.

Phil 2:3-4

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. ⁴ Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

It’s not about me but it is about others.

Think about it.
