One Look from the Lord!

And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? (Judges 6:14)

What a look was that which the Lord gave to Gideon! He looked him out of his discouragement into a holy bravery. If our look to the Lord saves us, what will not His look at us do? Lord, look on me this day and nerve me for its duties and conflicts.

What a word was this which Jehovah spoke to Gideon! “Go.” He must not hesitate. He might have answered, “What, go in all this weakness?” But the Lord put that word out of court by saying, “Go in this thy might.” The Lord had looked might into him, and he had now nothing to do but to use it and save Israel by smiting the Midianites. It may be that the Lord has more to do by me than I ever dreamed of. If He has looked upon me, He has made me strong. Let me by faith exercise the power with which He has entrusted me. He never bids me “idle away my time in this my might.” Far from it. I must “go” because He strengthens me. What a question is that which the Lord puts to me even as He put it to Gideon! “Have not I sent thee!” Yes, Lord, Thou hast sent me, and I will go in Thy strength. At Thy command I go, and, going, I am assured that Thou wilt conquer by me. C.H. Spurgeon

My husband and I are making stuffed, spinach parathas this morning. Paratha is an Indian fry bread made from whole wheat flour. I cooked the spinach yesterday (Indian way, with spices), so that it would be ready to use this morning. I also like them made with onions … Yummy!

CARING FOR THOSE GOD CARES ABOUT

‘Look after…widows…’ James 1:27 NIV

Miriam Neff says: ‘With [my husband] Bob’s exit to Heaven…life changed: my calendar, my chequebook…what’s in my frig…the look in my children’s eyes when they step through the door on holidays. My living space is more cluttered. I seldom use make-up…there are other changes so personal they can’t be shared. Loneliness and solitude are not descriptive enough…Widows experience so many firsts, we stop counting…As a widow I’ve learned that we all change. And much of the change is good. We become faith-filled because we can’t face the day any other way. We become strong because we’ve no choice. We’re compassionate because our heart has been broken.’ The fact is, women whose husbands die lose 75 percent of their friendships, 60 percent experience health issues, one-third are clinically depressed one year later, and most face financial hardship. As one pastor says, ‘Widows move from the front row of the church to the back, and then out the door. They go from serving and singing in the choir, to solitude and silent sobbing.’ God cares so much about widows He mentions them over one hundred times in Scripture. He’s a ‘defender of widows’ (Psalms 68:5 NIV). He ‘watches over…and sustains [them]‘ (Psalms 146:9 NIV). James says, ‘Religion that God…accepts as pure and faultless is…to look after…widows.’ Miriam Neff adds: ‘No one can comfort a widow like another widow…when we see another woman enter this experience…we want to comfort her…While the need for financial support and help…is common, the need for connection is more pressing…we need believing friends near us.

Prayers Can’t Be Answered . . .

                            unless they are Prayed

Life without purpose is barren indeed—

There can’t be a harvest unless you plant seed,

There can’t be attainment unless there’s a goal,

And man’s but a robot unless there’s a soul . . .

If we send no ships out, no ships will come in,

And unless there’s a contest, nobody can win. . .

For games can’t be won unless they are played,

And prayers can’t be answered

unless they are prayed . . .

 So whatever is wrong with your life today,

You’ll find a solution if you kneel down and pray

Not just for pleasure, enjoyment and health,

Not just for honors and prestige and wealth…

 But pray for a purpose to make life worth living.

And pray for the joy of unselfish giving,

For great is your gladness and rich your reward

When to make your life’s purpose

the choice of the Lord.

–Helen Steiner Rice

TRUST

 My Father’s ways may twist and turn;

My heart may throb and ache;

But in my soul I’m glad to know

He maketh no mistake.

 

My cherished plans may go astray;

My hopes may fade away;

But I’ll still trust my Lord to lead,

For He doth know the way.

 

Though night be dark and

it may seem

That day will never break;

I’ll pin my faith, my ALL in Him,

He maketh no mistake.

 

There’s so much now I cannot see,

My eyesight’s far too dim;

But come what may,

I’ll simply trust

And leave it ALL to Him.

 

For by and by the mist will lift~~

And plain it all He’ll make;

Through ALL the way,

Though dark to me,

HE MADE NOT ONE MISTAKE.

Bless the LORD, O my soul:  and all that is within me, bless His holy name.  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father piteth his children so the Lord pitieth Him that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame;  He remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him . . . Psalm 103: 1-5; 12-17a
