Our Daily Bread
"The Worlds Strongest Man" competitions used to draw my attention when flipping TV channels. The amazing feats of strength always amazed me! They competed several times to reach the finals, risking injury during each competition, to earn the title.
Our God has a title: Almighty God. If you read the Old Testament, the God of Israel was tested in the "The World's Strongest god" competition over and over again. My favorite story is that of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. The Almighty God showed he was THE Almighty God!
It is humbling to think that we can have a personal relationship with the Almighty God. His strength and power are greater than our biggest, most stressful problem. Let us not get caught up in our own pity parties and remember whose children we are!
Lord, you are the Almighty God, our Father, our Savior. We love you, we trust you, we thank you, we praise you.
Movie Monday
I didn't get to see a new movie this week. Too busy. I managed to see Riddick again because my roommate hadn't seen it yet. We had fun watching it together. As we were leaving the theater, my roommate asked "How did he survive all of that?" I said one word: "Badass!" ha! It is just a movie. They can do whatever they want!
I am not sure what movie is next on my horizon. I will see what time allows this week.
*********************************************
Revivals greatest enemy is Pride, and the only bride Revival will walk down the isle with is Humility. Humility will deny herself the right of self gratification rather than turn away from God to fulfill her own pleasures, and she will not allow herself to receive the praise that should go to another (especially the Lord). Finally, she will rush to renounce herself, rather than sitting quietly when her Lord is robed of His glory. Oh, Father, we are so unlike her, but may we meet her so that we may walk down the isle to Revival and true Christlikeness? from Jonathan Edwards on Humility in Religious Affections
