It's lateish. And I'm tired. Thank you for helping me get that scholarship thing done so quickly. I pray it would work? Three thousand dollars would be nice....
Acts 3
So you healed the beggar man who was crippled through Peter. Then that gave you the opportunity to speak through Peter. "you killed my son so that the scriptures could be fulfilled, now repent! Come and share in the freedom of Me!" And what a life was changed in the beggar! That would be ridiculous. I wonder what he did with his new life--hope it was for you :-)
Love,
Revelation 9-10
Try reading these with Lord of the Rings (fellowship of the ring) music in the background. I totally got an idea of the crazy chaos and destruction and complete terror those days will bring with locusts and horses and gigantic angels with one foot on land and one in the sea, and the seven thunders and ... I dunno... I guess in a way, the Lord of the Rings was about what seemed like the end of the world. I mean, when they defeated Sauron and the volcano erupted, that was pretty crazy.
Ok, I'm going to read Hebrews 11 straight through tonight, then more in-depth the next four days...
Hebrews 11
Wow. So many people from the beginning of creation who had faith. Followed you. Trusted and believed you. And you have done so much through them. Even though Abraham laughed. Even though Sarah tried to manipulate instead of waiting. Even though Moses doubted. Even though Israel did not want to come into the promised land. Even though Gideon was timid, Samson let women get to him, David let lust take over, the Israelites wanted a king instead of you. Even through all that pettiness which is our nature, you took what little faith we had and turned it into amazing things.
Don't expect life to be easy when you become a Christian. It won't. Just read this. There's no earthly blessing for any of these people, but they're commended as some of the most faithful people God had.
Lord, I pray that you would give me faith to move mountains :-)
