it's kind of hard to communicate where i'm at right now. i think the Lord has me in bootcamp of some sort. just spent all computer time available for the last three days responding to what is coming in and now am left (on tuesday afternoon) with 15 minutes to communicate with you. what do i say. how can i possibly share all i'm experiencing now none of which seems of any redeeming value? in every area of life i am experiencing strong cognitive dissonance. almost everything i am actually doing i strongly disagree with or am not sure that it is the right thing to do. the last of a long line of examples is that i signed up to organize a tea party in front of the souderton borough office. so far over 1000 cities have signed up. i am the last person qualified to actually do such a thing. i have no confidence that at noon april 15th there will be anyone beside myself there...that actually would be infinitely easier to deal with than any other possible outcome. i would stand with my little sign, burn my bush economic stimulus check, have a word of prayer and go home....why do i keep doing things i'm not at all qualified to do? why do i do things i don't want to do and not do things i do?
have just, for some reason been given 15 more minutes so i'll share a snippet of something from the Bible. in meditating on matthew 6 the other day i was again impressed with the power of Jesus' declarative statements of fact, such as:
1. things that are treasured (stored and accumulated) on earth are subject to destruction and theft.
2. things that are treasured (stored and accumulated) in heaven are not subject to destruction and theft.
3. where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
4. the light of the body is the eye.
5. your whole body will be full of light (if your eye is single)
6. your whole body will be full of darkness (if your eye is evil)...i've been given 15 more..
7. how great is the darkness (if the light that is in you is darkness)
8. no man can serve two masters. (if he tries..either
9. he will hate the one and love the other..or)
10. he will hold to the one and despise the other.
11. you cannot serve God and mammon (valued or treasured possessions)
12. (Question) is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment?
13. your heavenly father feedETH (repeatedly/continuously) the birds who do not sow, reap or gather into barns.
14. Q. which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
15. Q why do you take thought for raiment?
16. even solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like (a lily of the field who does not toil or spin)
17. ...wow 15 more!...Q shall God not much more clothe you (if He clothes the grass of the field like this, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven)?
18. all people seek for what to drink, eat and clothe themselves with.
19. your heavenly Father knowETH that you have need of all these things.
20. all these things shall be added to you (if you seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness.
21. the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
oh may God help me believe Him. have a good week. love, dad
