Food for Thoughts

“ Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”” (Matthew 20: 17-19)  listen to chapter  (Read by Max McLean. Provided by The Listener's Audio Bible.)

Black Hole

I am currently reading "The Upside of Adversity", by Os Hilman.

Here's what I took away about what to do when you are in black hole situation?

1. Ask God if there are any sins, habits, or attitudes that He might be judging in our life
2. Trust God when we enter a black hole
3. Black hole is to refine and define us, so that we can influence others
4. Ask God for grace to endure trial, like Joseph
5. Learn to lean on God
6. Alert to new truth and new perspective
7. Live each day to the fullest. Don’t live in the past

Trusting God to answer Our Prayer

Came across a poem "Trusting God to answer Our Prayer"

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey
I asked God for health, that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things
I asked for riches that I might be happy
I was given poverty, that I might be wise
I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men
I was give weakness, tat I might feel the need of God
I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life
I was given life , that I might enjoy all things
I got nothing that I asked for but everything I had hope for
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered
I am, among men, most richly blessed.
