Sunday Morning Reflections_October 30, 2011

The Word of God for wisdom:

Proverbs 30:29-33 (ESV)
²⁹ Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride: ³⁰ the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any; ³¹ the strutting rooster, the he-goat, and a king whose army is with him. ³² If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth. ³³ For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.

The Word of God for inspiration:

Psalm 139:13-16 (ESV)
¹³ For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. ¹⁴ I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. ¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. ¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Psalm 56:8 (NLT)
You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.

The Word of God for encouragement:

Luke 11:9-10 (HCSB)
⁹ "So I say to you, keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

My prayer:

Father God, my dear Father, I exalt your name above every other name because you are worthy to be praised. Father, you are great, and your works are wonderful. Father, I marvel at your works in creation and in redemption. Father, I thank you for your loving care for your people from the womb to the tomb.

Father, I thank you for the life and ministry of your servant Jessy Dixon. At the age of 73, you promoted him to his home in the kingdom of heaven on September 26, 2011. Father, I thank you that he is now experiencing the joy of what you showed him in his spirit as he wrote the words to the song, "The Wicked Shall Cease from Troubling, and the Weary Will be At Rest.

² Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— ³ if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
