Most of you probably already know that I love photography – I frequently post some pictures here on the blog. A few weeks ago in the weekend service, I showed a photo I took of all the grandkids. Somehow, I managed to capture a brief moment in time when they were all relatively still and looking in the same direction!
You know, summer is usually a time when things are supposed to slow down. It’s when we take our vacations, when the kids are out of school, and when it’s frankly just too hot to do much of anything! But sometimes, that’s not how things work out, and what was supposed to be a relaxing summer turns into a busy, chaotic few months. Just like trying to take a picture of my grandkids – it seems like the calm times are just brief moments in the middle of the storm. I hope that this summer you’ll find those calm times. I think the Twitter Bible Study can help you do that. Here’s how it works:
- Choose a daily reading program. If you don’t have one, there’s a great selection HERE.
- Decide to read a portion of scripture everyday.
- Ask God for one piece of wisdom and insight from what you read.
- Post your insight in 140 characters or less in the comments section of this blog (include the scripture reference).
- Copy your insight and post it on your Twitter or Facebook account so others can benefit from what you are learning.
So find a cool, shady spot and a glass of sweet tea, and spend some time in God’s Word.
God-defiers are always in trouble; God-affirmers find themselves loved every time they turn around. Psalm 32:10 (MSG)

Galatians 5:13 we have been called to live in freedom and must use it to serve each other not our sinful nature

Obadiah Do not gloat over “victory” which causes other to suffer; God will render judgment one day – all those deeds will come back to you.

Love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. This type of commitment seems daunting in our “busy life” until we put it into perspective of the love he showed on the cross for us! 2 Kings 23:25

For a man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths. Prov 5:21
God knows our hearts! Grant me the strength and self-control to walk in your path daily. Thanks U!

Let nothing be done thought selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Phillipians 2:3

Endure hardship as discipline. God loves you and is growing you as his child. What Father doesn’t discipline his children (Hebrews 12:7)

Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook. It is not right to acquit the guilty or deny justice to the innocent. Prov 18:4-5

Charm can mislead & beauty soon fades.
The woman to be admired & praised
is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-GOD. Prov 31:30

2Kings18-19 When the enemy attack is great, greater is His ability to get Glory! Humble pleads invite mercy. Cry out to Him, He is for us!

3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
