sometimes it’s good to be sick

Posted in quotesTagged , , Leave a comment

Ever since Sunday I have had this yucky stomach flu. It has been uncomfortable, draining and tiredsome. I am not complaining. For if I was I would hear a choir of companions calling out in unison, “WHAA!!!”

Despite feeling like I wanted to die…I did get a lot of needed sleep, watched enough movies to say that I am ‘TV-ed out for life’, and ate enough crackers to feed a flock of geese. All in all I would say that sickness is good. You say, “What?” And I say, SICKNESS is sometimes God’s way of saying, “Sit down, boy, and rest a little.

“Though I blame this sickness on the the flu-infested people that have shaken my hand in the past month, I do give a shout of thanks to God for the QT the past few days. Do worry friends, you cant get sick through myspace, unless you caught the killer virus that was downloaded into you computer when opening this blog. Kiddin!

dung

I am but a piece of dung,
among thousands,
among trillions,
among BILLIONS,
of tons of precious diamonds in this universe,
I am worthless,
the world tells me,
IT SCREAMS TO ME,
that I am nothing more than a primitive invention of accident,
but the LORD OF CREATION whispers to me,
you exist,
as do I,
do not forsake me my child,
and I will not forsake you,
for you are never forgotten,
but remembered,
as are precious diamonds and pearls,
but do not ever forget,
the immense price that I have paid,
what right have ou to complain over petty grievances?
I SUFFERED THE CROSS AND DEATH ITSELF.
AND I HAVE CONQUERED satan THE accuser AND THE demon.
HE IS BUT DUST UNDER MY HEEL,
but you my child,
are more precious than diamonds in the desert,
and I love you, always.

He can do…

God is incredably awesome. So much bigger than anything or anyone. I really needed to hear this today…”Anything GOD has ever done, HE can do now. Anything GOD had ever done anywhere, HE can do here. Anything GOD has ever done for anyone, HE can do for you.” – A.W. TozerOh, how I give up so easily and too quickly. “Ye of little faith” can be my motto. Sad, but true. May your prayer for me be this week to be an I CAN DO person because HE CAN DO.

Real Worship

I was rereading a great book on the subject of WORSHIP this week by Warren W. Wiersbe and I was struck by this quote,

“One of the greatest dangers is that we ‘use’ worship in order to accomplish something else other than to glorify God in the edification of His church. We do not worship God in order to achieve peace of mind or to solve our personal problems, although these may be blessed by-products of worship. We worship God because He commands us to do so and because worship is the highest and holiest experience of the Christian believer. God is worthy of our worship, and that’s all we really need to know. If our motive is anything other than this, then we are ‘using’ God and practicing a refined form of idolatry.” (p.109, Real Worship)

Worship is more than a song or something we do. It is a lifestyle. It is an act of giving worth to God.
