Listening to God's Subtle Warnings

266 Words1 Page

This is a great devotional. I enjoyed reading it, it reminds us to listen and pay attention when God is dealing with us. God has many different ways of bringing things to our attention. We are so blessed to have a Heavenly Father that loves us and cares about how we live our live. This devotional brought to mind the following scripture; Song of Solomon 2:15 (KJV) “Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes” The devil would never tempt us with the big things but the little ‘innocent’ things. For example, most of us would not be tempted to rob a bank. However, we might be tempted to keep extra change that was given to us by mistake at the bank or store. Though, both are wrong but the change is

  • Select One Teaching Of Jesus 15: 1-2

    The choice of words that was displayed and used for the blessing of a man with a disability. The significance of this passage is how we approach and converse with people as well as comments we perceive others are exemplifying without understand the nature of the intent. Jesus nature is to heal all of us and forgive us for our sins. Seeing is always believing. I remember seeing an TV episode of a preacher paying people to pretend like they have been healed. I could not believe that was happening. When I saw that it made me think of some of the Christion shows that come on in the middle of the night with the same message. I always say it is not what you say it is how you say it always help for not is a sin.

    ...is seems to line up well with the serenity prayer: “Lord, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”  Our task as humans is to discern these wills in our lives and separate them.  We must not become embittered, but rather empowered, clinging to the knowledge that there is an ever-benevolent God constantly working for our good, and that he always has a plan for us amidst trial presented by life on earth.  In order to discern this will though, we have to be on the lookout for it with an awareness of its separateness from our own fears and desires.  This discernment is also difficult because of our limited perspectives as humans, and thus we need humility in our search.  The most important thing, however, is the search itself: we must all continue to search for the will.

  • Their Eyes Were Watching God: Silence is Something to Be Valued

    1189 Words  | 3 Pages

    Silence: the absence of any sound or noise. The act of being silent or quiet is something that happens everyday, and as a result, often possesses no significance. In the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston addresses that silence can have a purpose through the main character Janie. Janie, a woman struggling to find and express herself, is often silenced along her journey towards self-revelation. Silence is often an obstacle of hers, yet at the same time it allows time to take in the situation and analyze. Noise can be a distraction or a wall covering a bigger problem. Being quiet allows the true issue to show in its rawest form. Silence, although physically insignificant, can take deeper meaning. Zora Neale Hurston silences Janie to varying degrees to expose male dominance, emphasize conscious thought, and express the lack of a listener.

  • Personal Narrative: The Golden Rule

    1. The voting game was interesting, and it was an analogy to real life situations. Initially I was confused and really did not understand the game. At first I assumed that if I voted the number 1 I would not receive any money, and if I voted the number 0, I would receive money. I was thinking this was a tricky game, and everyone would vote 0 because if they voted 1 they wouldn’t receive any money. I was wrong. Only fifteen students voted for the number 0: the rest voted for the number 1. I received $30,000 while the people who voted the number 1 received $38,000, $8,000 more! I then understood the game and how I should vote, but then a classmate pleaded his case and hoped everyone would vote 0, so the money we received would increase and we

    I find this poem to be exceptional in its meaning, in fact the verse that comes to mind when thinking of this poem is Psalm 51:17 “the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” (Holy Bible, New Testament) I believe that the speaker has meaning behind his words he knows that a complete peace and joy come from the awareness of one’s sin, he also believes in the submission of himself to God and the humility of heart.

  • Salvation: Inward Change and Outward Signs

    1207 Words  | 3 Pages

    Salvation through faith in Jesus Christ produces an inward change, which in turn is shown to others by outward actions. The question being asked here by James is if there is no evidence of this inward change by the outward actions is then the faith in Christ real and more importantly is then, salvation sure. James in his message is often misunderstood and seen as contradictory in light of the rest of the New Testament but that is truly not the case. James is trying to relate a very real and timely assessment of salvation as it relates to faith and the action of those proclaiming faith in Jesus Christ. In other words are they walking the walk of the faith the claim to be talking?

    Look at the third from last line, “…If you have your weaknesses, keep them hid from your brethren,”--keep them hid. I have pride in my honesty but I have made my mistakes. When I was the age of 11, approximately, I had taken my sister out for a walk. She was about 6 years old and had to be watched like a hawk. I had not got along wither for quite sometime and would blame things on her when we had disputes; everyone in my family had known that. Every time that something happened, I would find a way to pin the situation on my little sister.

  • Personal Narrative: My Reflection As A Writer

    1259 Words  | 3 Pages

    As I sit here and ponder over the last semester, I smile remembering what my thoughts were before I started. I was excited thinking about joining this semester, noticing that I had English 111 as one of my courses. This will be a breeze I thought. Writing and I go together hand in hand well, and I bet this will be one of my favorite courses that I’ll ace with flying colors. I’ve always enjoyed writing, but I think that was because I didn’t realize what all goes into writing. I have always been homeschooled and never had to write very many essays, although I loved writing. It all changed when I joined this semester and got to write three entirely different essays. I remember almost being in tears, looking at the highlights, when my first essay came back. I smile now, realizing that I never realized all the small little details that are easily overlooked that goes into writing. I don’t think I could have gotten through this semester without “The Little Sea Gull” handbook and the patience and help of Mrs. Wisdom.

  • God’s purpose; What it means for me

    660 Words  | 2 Pages

    “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1; 1, King James Version). The word of God is all powerful when he spoke things happened, one word from our master and mountains would move. The birth of Jesus was a prophecy that came to pass so this lets me know that this was foreseen as an act of love from our Lord and savior. Jesus giving of himself to save the soul and sins of man shows unconditional love that no one can compare to. God’s purpose impacts my worldview because of the lessons he taught, the miracles he performed, and the death and resurrection he faced.

  • Being Faithful To God Essay

    850 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are several ways one can be faithful to God. The most important aspect of being faithful to God is to have faith in that fact that all things will work out for one 's good. Romans 8:28 states, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Having faith in God is essential. Why would one serve God and not think that God has his best interest at heart? The next thing one should do to be faithful to God is to read His word and live by it. This means not just reading the Word of God but, also implementing the teachings of His word in one 's daily life. Avoiding temptation is included in implementing God 's word. Matthew 26:41 states, “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” One should also implement prayer in his daily life. This prayer does not have to be about
