Morning Direction From Scripture 5-11-16

I have been running so fast I have not had time to post these particular segments of Lillie-Put in a while.

These are some meditations I am sharing with our Wednesday night, Digging Deeper Discussion Groups.

I would love to hear your thoughts on these meditations…

If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. 1 Cor. 13:1-8

Is this different from other definitions of love you have heard? How?

Write Anything Wednesday and Being Earthly Minded.

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

This post is in response to WRITERISH RAMBLINGS WRITE ANYTHING WEDNESDAY POST.

100_5441

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Ro. 8:5-8

I guess we have all heard the saying, “You are too heavenly minded to be of any earthly good.”

I’ve been accused of it actually. My response has always been to wonder if such a thing were even possible. It strikes me that Earth was conceived out of Heaven. That being the case, it does seem that the more we truly consider Heaven the more valuable we will be to the Earth.

Now I have met men and women who are so caught up with the notion of going to Heaven that they forget that Heaven is not really the point. God is. That being said, God has commanded us to love the world and if we fail to do that then we are not really heavenly minded at all. Failing to love is carnality whatever excuse we give for it.

I suppose however, that most of us are not so caught up even with the notion of going to Heaven that we are of no earthly good to anyone. If anything I think most people have a long way to go before they even get close to thinking about going to Heaven so much that they become impotent here on Earth. No, in all honesty, what most Christians suffer from today is the opposite ailment. We are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly good. It’s easy to do. The world, the flesh and the Devil all encourage us towards that mindset.

The devil tempts us toward pet sins.

The world pressures us into not going overboard with our own faith while pushing us to also except every other faith and ideology that comes down the pike.

The flesh urges us to rest in place of prayer or to play in place of going to church because after all we work hard.

Friend when we know more about what’s on the WB Network than what’s in our Bibles.

When we spend more time on Facebook than we do in prayer.

When we refuse to give up that habit the Holy Spirit has been dealing with us about.

When we make fun of other Christians for becoming too heavenly minded, maybe what we ought to ask is are we too earthly minded?

Psalm 2

1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
    and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
    and throw off their shackles.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
    the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
    and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
    on Zion, my holy mountain.”

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
    today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
    and I will make the nations your inheritance,
    the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];
    you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
    be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
    and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Is this Psalm about the past, the present or the future?

What does it say about that time?
