I am beginning a meditation through the Book of Psalms. This could take a while.
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers, Psalm 1:1,12

Mid Afternoon Meditation 5-29-16
The morning got away from me and honestly I had a spiritual block I had to pray through… so no meditation this morning. This afternoon however lots to think about now that I know where I was blocked.
I am beginning a meditation through the Psalms. This should be fun! Let’s begin.
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked Psm. 1:1
What does it take for you to walk away from the influence of wickedness around you?

Ferocious Pt. 1
In our meditations here at Lillie-Put we have just worked through I Corinthians 13:4-8. As we were working through the daily thoughts it came to me that perhaps it was time to revisit a study I did on this topic several years ago.
Here is part one of the study called FEROCIOUS.
P.S. don’t mind the notes about the Netherlands. This was last posted back when I was on a trip to that beautiful country. This year I am going nowhere. I am paying my taxes instead. 😦

Evening Meditation 5-18-16
This post is a continuation of our meditations on 1 Corinthians 13. Our evening question is directly connected to the question from our MID AFTERNOON MEDITATION TODAY.
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
What is it like to think that love is all these attributes working together all the time?

Mid Afternoon Meditation 5-18-16
Here is your Scripture and question to meditate on for the afternoon.
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
As you look at 1 Corinthians 13 are there any of the attributes you feel would be possible to practice all the time? Which one are you the best at?

I am wondering what you think unfailing love might look like in a word or two.
