PRIDE & THE PERFECTIONIST! #2

-




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 felt like a 
failure when wasn't able to 
do every task. 

This show made me examine
by own life. I realized that I
cheat my spouse and children
out of quality time with me if
I obsess over my "To Do List". 
My communication with them 
will be compromised. I’m not 
paying adequate attention to 
their needs if I only focused
on mine. The Lord does not 
want me to be lazy. He wants 
me to use wisdom. I should do
my best when being wife and  
mother. I should not let it be
my main focus. The amount 
of time I spend with the Lord
and my family is important.
 
I am sharing some scriptures
I use often to help me on my
Christian journey.
 

LIFE LESSON:

MAINTAIN GOOD WORKS WITH INTEGRITY

MATTHEW 23:5

But all their works they do 
to be seen by men. They 
make their phylacteries
broad and enlarge the 
borders of their garments.
TITUS 2:7
 
In all things showing yourself  
to be a pattern of good works;
in doctrine showing integrity, 
reverence, incorruptibility,

TITUS 3:14

And let our people also learn to
maintain good works, to meet 
urgent needs, that they may
not be unfruitful.

1 TIMOTHY 2:10

But, which is proper for women
professing godliness, with good
works.

1 TIMOTHY 6:18


Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,

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 ...

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 ...

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 u...
