PRIDE & THE PERFECTIONIST!

-







I try to watch Joni Table Talk
on Daystar TV at 7 a.m. every 
morning.  Recently, one of her
guest discussed being stressed
out because she couldn't finish 
her check list. She had a long 
list of tasks she tried to perform 
daily.Her goal was to be the best
Christian, wife and mother. She
felt like a failure when there was
no check mark by every task on 
the list. 


Later, she was able to accept

God's grace and her focus 
changed. The written check
list is gone.  She is able to 
complete her daily task by
the grace of God. Her pride 
no longer gets in the way.



This show made me examine
by own life. I want to focus 
on His will not mine. I make 
a mental note of the chores 
I want to get done. I do not
stress about the ones I was

not able to get to. I can not
be led by His spirit if I'm too 
busy focusing on my needs.



Here are some scriptures 
that help me to stay on the
right track. 

LIFE LESSON:

JESUS IS THE ONLY PERFECT ONE!

Job 35:12


There they cry out, but He does not answer, Because of the pride of evil men. 

Psalm 36:11


Let not the foot of pride come against me, 
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away. 

Proverbs 11:2


When pride comes, then comes shame; 
But with the humble is wisdom. 

Proverbs 13:10


By pride comes nothing but strife,
But with the well-advised is wisdom.

1 Timothy 3:6

not a novice, lest being puffed up with
pride he fall into the same condemnation
as the devil.

CALLED BY THE LORD, PART 6

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

ADAM & EVE'S FAMILY TREE

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
