Today the image that I can't get off my mind is that of a tightrope or a very narrow path. It is winding through difficult terrain. Off to the side, I see a nice broad wide path with lots of people walking on it. But the way of God is narrow. Jesus said so in the gospels. http://bible.cc/matthew/7-14.htm
The true disciple wants to walk with Jesus, but it is not easy; the way is difficult at times. Yet the Lord promises to hold our hand and guide us. We need to hold on tight! http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians+10&version=NIV
Check out verses 1-10 above. Warnings were given to look at what Israel did and NOT do the same things:
1. Lust after evil things
2. Commit fornication
3. Tempt/test Christ (meaning that one does not trust Christ)
4. Murmur or complain
Israel was punished for doing the things listed above. We must also be very careful to not think that we are so solidly standing that we could never fall. We must remember that we must be humble, clinging to Jesus always, and know that He always provides a way out of temptation.
As the Lord God led Israel out of Egypt with His own hand, caring for them, bringing them to repentance, freeing them from bondage, giving them food and drink,..... yet they sinned and were not permitted to enter the Promised Land. Let's NOT let this happen to us!
We have been given the Word of Life. Let's never disregard it. We must learn from the past. Let's grieve and be sad for what happened to Israel, and to us in the past. Let us hearken to the Lord's voice and lean on Him, not on our own understanding! He will enfold us in safety and peace!

God Alone
Today it seems like all I can think about is that there is nothing else to worry or be concerned about except God alone. It all comes down to the act that if our relationship with God is our first priority, all else will work out OK, even if it doesn't. While that might seem not to make sense, it really does.
We must hold fast to the Word of God, and the Living Word, Jesus. I have so much experience in NOT doing this, I am an expert. I have made other things more important, things like work responsibilities, personal issues, physical exercise, relationships, whatever. But it becomes more and more clear that if I don't keep y focus on the Lord, and do so in a real tangible way each day, I begin to fall away from Him ever so slightly, slipping a tiny bit more each day, until I am lost, confused, terrified, and floundering in a sea of self-centered misery. I can't let that happen, but it requires some discipline to do the things that keep me close to Him. Please note that I am not saying that we can somehow DO THINGS that earn us our salvation. No, we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. But in order to remain attached to Him, as he says in John 15, like branches to the true Vine, we must do things that keep us attached to Him. Reading His Word is like taking in the best nutrition there is. As it says in Deuteronomy 8:2-3 -- 2 You shall remember all the way which the LORD your God has led you in the wilderness these forty years, that He might humble you, testing you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you [a]understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD.
So often in the Old Testament, people turned from the true God and set up idols made of silver or gold or wood and worshipped them. This made God really angry and He punished His people Israel when they would do this. They knew better! But our natural inclination is toward sin. That is a hard chunk of truth to swallow, since the world tells us we are really good people down inside. Not true. Scripture tells us in many places that our hearts are desperately wicked and inclined toward evil (Jeremiah 17:9-?) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jeremiah%2017&version=NASB
We can't even tell when our own hearts are being deceitful. We must rely on the Lord to show us our hearts' condition. He can only do this through prayer and study of scripture. His Word cuts through the garbage and pierces us in ways that nothing else can. It is like washing us from the inside, making us clean, and showing us Truth so that we can know what is false in comparison.
My own plans don't work. I need to lay it all down and submit to the Lord. My plans, schemes, attempts to live this life in a nice neat little box where everything works the way I want it to... I must lay it all down. My eternal life is what matters, and I need to give my focus to my eternal life, not this life on earth, which will be over before I know it. God alone matters! I will surely regret spending time on the false gods of this world around me. God is so right in His commandments. The first ones all have to do with honoring Him and Him alone... I don't probably have the words right, but it says to love the Lord and not have any false gods of any sort, and honor His name by never using it wrongfully, and honoring Him by honoring the Sabbath.
Focusing on myself leads to misery, while focusing on the Lord leads to joy! Isaiah 26:3 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=isaiah%2026&version=KJV
And here is one of my favorite songs reminding me of what/Who is important today, and every day! May you put Him first today!!

Praising God
Yesterday I was looking at Psalm 66, verses 16-20.
Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19 But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
Come and hear, all you who fear God,
And I will declare what He has done for my soul.
17 I cried to Him with my mouth,
And He was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,
The Lord will not hear.
19 But certainly God has heard me;
He has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Blessed be God,
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
Who has not turned away my prayer,
Nor His mercy from me!
It is important that we praise God with our testimony of what He has done for us in our lives. "I will declare what He has done for my soul." Elsewhere in scripture it says that God will not hear prayer if we are living in rebellion and sin. This doesn't mean that we must be or even can be perfect, but it does mean that if we are living predominantly lives dedicated to ourselves, our sins, and the world's ways, God will not hear our prayers, but if we turn to Him in true repentance and surrender, He hears our pleas for help and rescues us from ourselves. How true that has been in my life, when I was living in rebellion and disobedience to the Lord. He is so merciful that He responds to even the most tiny indications of humility and repentance and faith. He responded to my first glimmers of realization of what was wrong with me, that I was not living in a way that was pleasing to God. Once I began to see this in the most simple and rudimentary way, He began pouring His mercy out on me, drawing me nearer to Him, within my heart. Then I began to see more and more of what was not pleasing to Him in my life and heart.
In Genesis 18, Abraham has three visitors, presumably angels, and one of those was even God in human form, since He is referred to as the Lord. (This is what is called by bible scholars a "theophany", an appearance of Jesus in human form, prior to His incarnation on the earth 2000 years ago. These visitors confirm to Abraham and Sarah (they both have had their names changed by God recently) that they will have a son. Abraham is 100 years old and Sarah is 90. Sarah laughs, and God catches her in laughing as well as lying that she didn't laugh. God knows everything! And yet, God is merciful in His righteousness. Abraham pleaded for the city of Sodom, a wicked place that God was going to destroy. He was worried that there were some righteous people there who would die with the wicked. God promised not to destroy it if there were even ten righteous people there. But, in fact, there were not even 10. This is important. God is incredibly merciful, and gives us time to repent of our sins, receive Him, and follow Him. But He cannot ignore sin, and He will destroy the unrighteous, those who reject His salvation. He is holy. This is indication that we serve a wonderful, holy, and good God who does not let sin go unpunished. If He did, He would be like a corrupt judge who lets people off the hook. He is a merciful, good, and righteous judge. Jesus died to pay for our sins. Someone must pay for sin with their own life, their blood. Jesus took our place so that we could live eternally with Him and not have to die. The Father sent His Son, Jesus, to die in our place and rise again, so that we could have life. So amazing and incredible!! What a God we serve!
I want to send out praise to Him like thunder, all over the earth and the heavens! The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. (Psalm 19:1-3)
May God be praised in every humble heart, in every place everywhere! He is risen, and He lives!

Abram and Trust
Abram trusted God's word to him and left his homeland to go to a distant land. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis%2012&version=NKJV
"So Abram left as the Lord had told him." Wow, what a simple statement, but imagine what that involved. He had a lot of family members, servants, flocks and herds, and stuff. He moved them all. What an act of obedience. I know what a hassle moving is, even just a little houseful of stuff. Imagine moving thousands of animals and a whole bunch of people and stuff, going on a big camping trip through the country. This faith was equated by God to righteousness. We know that Abram wasn't totally righteous, having just lied to the king of Egypt about Sarai, his wife, saying that she was his sister. But Abram's faith was so true, it made him righteous in God's eyes. Abram's faith was not cheap or words only, but backed up by action-- obedience-- and thus it was TRUE faith. This is the type of faith God expects of us, too.
This brings me to think about the difficulties we experience in our lives. Could God be checking to see if we are backing up our verbal faith in Him with action? Perhaps the action is simply waiting patiently, one day at a time, worshiping Him with all our hearts even when we are afraid or depressed. Praising Him changes things inside of us. Is this the "sacrifice of praise" God wants? It is mentioned in the Book of Hebrews-- "Through Jesus then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of the lips that acknowledge his name"--Hebrews 13:15.
May we have the faith, backed up by obedience, that Abram demonstrated!

It's All About Jesus
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" -- Hebrews 13:8. Jesus is evident in all of scripture, even in the book of Genesis that I am reading with some friends currently. I am convinced that if we let Him guide us, we will follow Him to the cross, where we will need to die to ourselves and be raised new, in Him. "Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."-- Matthew 4:19. We are raised to new life with a new occupation: fishing! We die to ourselves, and we are raised to a new life with the overwhelming desire to follow Jesus and to share our joy with others, and to tell them the good news about salvation. I used to enjoy fishing for little slimy wiggling fish, and maybe still do sometimes, but it's not nearly as wonderful as being a fisherman on Jesus' team.
One thing I have realized, though, as I read through the Bible, is that it is essential to just not merely read about Him, but rather I must talk to Him, listen to Him, believe in Him, respond to Him, trust in Him. He is more than a historical figure, a name, a book,... He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life to me. There is nothing else for me in this world. Today is Good Friday, and while I have done many things during the day, like attend meetings, conduct business, shop, talk a walk, and other stuff, I have had nothing on my mind today really except Jesus, and Him crucified. He died for my sins, that I may live forever with Him. How can I fathom this? I know I don't deserve it, and didn't earn it. I just am stunned that He loved me so much. How can I not give Him the rest of my life? I can never pay Him back, ever. But He wants me to tell others, love them, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give shelter to the homeless, and lots of other things too, like comfort the brokenhearted, and preach the gospel to all nations. May you find Him if you don't know Him, yet. May you know Him more nearly and dearly if you do know Him!

Obedience, Take 2. What is discipleship?
So it's been quite a while since I last posted. I have not taken to blogging very well. What I need to remember is that obedience is way more important than being comfortable.
Obedience. What really is discipleship? The first use of the word disciples that I found in the scriptures is in Isaiah 8. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+8&version=NKJV God is talking to the prophet Isaiah about how He is going to send judgement down on Israel because of their disobedience, using the Assyrian army as His tool. He warns Isaiah not to be like those disobedient people, but to rather hold on to Him and obey His Word. He says "Seal the law among my disciples" which sounds like He means that the Word of God, the Law, is something that binds us, commits us to follow God. How do we know His Word unless we feed upon it every day, and take it all deep into our hearts and apply it to our lives? What a joy it is to feel the scriptures come alive while reading them!
Jesus called His disciples while at the Sea of Galilee, and Peter and Andrew (brothers) and James and John (brothers) followed Him, leaving everything behind. (Mt 4:18-22). When Jesus gave His most famous message, later titled by others "The Sermon on the Mount", the huge multitudes of people, thousands of them, were around Him, but interestingly enough, He left the multitudes behind and climbed up a mountain, one of several around the sea of Galilee, and "His disciples" followed Him. (Mt 5:1) It makes me wonder, am I one of the multitudes who is sort of hanging around Jesus, or am I one of those who follows Him up to a high place, away from the rest of the world, and sits at His feet, wanting to hear His words, applying them to my life, begging Him to change my life, my heart.... am I a true disciple or merely a "hanger-on"?
May we be among those who seek and follow Jesus, not just the idea of Jesus. May we hunger and thirst for His Word to us more than we hunger for pretzels, cookies, White Castles, or thirst for water or coffee or energy drinks! May we be true disciples today!

The Beginning: Genesis
Ah, the beginning of something... a precious thing, exciting and yet sort of scary. To think about God and how He created the world. It's interesting, starting to read the Bible on page 1. There is no argument about whether there IS a God, or debates on why God can't exist, or how can God be good if He allows suffering, or whatever. It simply states: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." There was a time when there was no heaven nor earth, a fact hard to comprehend. Life as we know it, history, this universe full of amazing stars and planets in the vastness of space, and this incredible earth full of beauty and horrible ugliness, it all had a definite beginning, and God started it all.
When you think about it, since He made us and everything around us, past, present, and future, we belong to Him, ultimately. It makes sense to get to know Who this God is, since He has a claim upon us. It is a wonderful thing to start wading into this fascinating stream of the Bible; so safe and shallow that even a child can play and explore in it and drink it in without fear, and yet so deep and rich that one can dive again and again into its depths, and discover new meaning, beauty, nourishment and understanding every time.
I love reading after each day of creation, that God "saw that it was good." He made the light, the expanse or atmosphere, the dry ground, the stars and moon (the 'light bearers') the fish and birds, the animals and humans, and each time He "saw that it was good." No mistakes, no errors, no evil, all good.
I noticed, and maybe you did too, that there is a mention of the mysterious nature of the Lord God, the first hinting of the triune (three in one) nature of God. Can you find it? I remember noticing that once and discovered how exciting it was to know that God is unchanging, and He wants us to know about Him and His true character. Once we come to know Him, He reveals His truth to us in our hearts, through His Word. And how amazing it is to look back and realize how He has been working in our lives all along, gently leading us to Him, revealing Himself to us, caring for us, protecting and providing for us, touching our hearts and bringing us to see how desperately we need Him, all so very tenderly and sweetly. I remember how He protected me once when in a very dangerous situation, young and reckless and seemingly in control, yet terribly lost, both spiritually and literally. He sent someone to help me out of a dangerous spot back to safety. An angel, perhaps? I know now that His hand was with me, and I am so grateful.
And at the end of the first chapter of Genesis, God "saw all that He had made, and it was very good." Very good indeed! And then comes the day that He rested. Why would God need to rest? After all, He was/is God, and God surely has enough energy to keep on going! More on that later!
It occurred to me today that we owe God our full devotion, not partial payment. We may go to church, which is fine and good. But it is our deep heart, our total selves, that He wants. He made us, and has the "rights" to us. But He gave us the ability to say yes, or no. We can just let Him have a part of our heart, or our life, but not all of it. Or we can open it all up and let Him clean us out and fill us up with Himself. And thankfully, He is patient with us when we only can let Him in part of the way. I pray that you, dear reader, whoever you may be, will trust Him enough to open up your heart and allow Him to tenderize it and melt it, a little at a time. He is the Author of Time and Life, and He knows it inside and out! He made us, and waits for us to give Him the honor He deserves. It's so exciting to read the book that truly reveals the incredible nature and character of God. It's the only thing that really matters, actually.

Blogging for God
Hello! This is my first blog, and it wasn't my idea at all. During my morning prayer and listening time, during which I talk to God and listen to Him, it seemed that God was directing me to start a blog on His Word, the Bible. I am totally not sure how to begin, except that it's been a couple of weeks since I received this instruction, and haven't done so yet because I was sort of avoiding doing it. I was really worried about making it something "really good" or "awesome". Well, I know that I can't do anything awesome unless God does it through me. I am finally done with trying to be perfect, at least for today, and so here goes.
I think I am going to start with the book of Genesis, which I began reading at the first part of the year, and share some thoughts that have come to mind.
Oh, I guess I need to share this with some people, eventually. Lord, I need your help here. Who will want to read this? Well, I suppose, those whom God directs or leads here. That's good enough for me.
End of post #1 of Blog #1. I am now a blogger for God. I surely would not be doing this unless He told me to. My life is not interesting except for how He has impacted it. In this light, it is a very interesting life indeed. He alone is Worthy of praise and glory!
