Sunday's Coming

Good Morning,

Thank you for your prayers, e-mails and calls; you all help us so much. We are settling in at this new, small RV park more each day. I continue to visit daily with our manager here in the park. He seems to like me, for some reason, and I get to tell him of my Jesus. Yesterday he and the maintenance man were washing our rig and we started talking about doing good things and heaven. I told him that grace was the only way to heaven and he agreed that Jesus Christ is the only way.
We pray God uses us to encourage this nice man in his walk with the Lord.
Morning in Magnolia.
Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together.


I was reading this morning and read the following:


WHAT’S A PROVERB?
Little Ruby was saying her bedtime prayers. “Dear God,” she prayed, “please help bad people to be good and good people to be nice.” Whether Ruby knew it or not, she provided a simple way of describing what the book of Proverbs is: “a guidebook for living a life that pleases God.”
Over the years, various cultures and societies have established different criteria to describe whether or not one is “successful.” Many have put “wealth” at the top of the list. And money, to some degree, is important and necessary if one is to have the basic necessities of life. Others would speak of power, prestige and one’s position in society as being critical. Those words express the core values of individuals who want to be recognized for what they have accomplished on the world’s stage in politics, the military or banking and finance. No doubt some want to be remembered for doing some “thing” that no one else has done - like discovering a medicine that extends life or setting a record in a particular sport, inventing a product or procedure that makes life better or is useful, valuable or delightful.But those whose lives are guided by the lessons that we find in The Proverbs are those who fear God and allow Him to guide them, guard them and give them His gifts.We often talk about hindsight, sometimes we wish we had foresight, but Solomon’s Proverbs give us insight to make decisions based on God’s laws. Proverbs provides the believer with God’s wisdom that is underwritten by God’s power that we may live godly lives.
Prayer: Grant us willful hearts, Lord, to obey Your laws. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Scripture for Today: Proverbs 1:1 Begins with: "The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:" and ends with verse 33 "but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”

We want to thank you for your support through your prayers, calls, e-mails and gifts.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
