Plans
I came across the following in today’s proverb:
There are many plans in a man’s heart,
Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel — that will stand.1
I can only say AMEN! to that, as it brings much comfort to my soul. Almost anything is fascinating to me, and thus I can quickly get wrapped up into planning a project–but usually [...]

Cultivate Faithfulness
More on this farming bit. Imagine a cow: regurgitation.
Lew and I read some Psalms together on Tuesday (I worked Swing Shift that day: 3 PM to 11 PM, nice for quiet time from 7ish to 2:30!).
Came across: “Trust in the LORD and do good; Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.” Psalm 37:3
Cultivate… Like farmers.
Cultivate… I [...]

Abundant Food
“Abundant food is in the fallow ground of the poor,
But it is swept away by injustice. ” ~Proverbs 13:23
Currently I’m reading books about Agriculture. One is “Sepp Holzer: The Rebel Farmer”, another is “Edible Forest Gardens: Ecological Vision and Theory for Temperate Climate Permaculture.” As you can probably tell from the titles, the first is [...]

Interest or Identification?
Today as my work day wound day I kept on looking at my watch. I wanted to leave by 5… but things kept on popping up, which (gosh) delayed me to 5:15 (oh the horror!)
In the middle of all this I started to feel that frantic feeling, you know, the kind that comes from self-entitlement. [...]

Mind renovation
This is a prettty amazing thing: “Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)
I like it when God speaks. One idea and my mind changes. It is renewed. He ACTUALLY renovates it. As one comes into a room and starts arranging, cleaning, dusting, fixing broken drywall, [...]

The Holy Spirit and His Gifts
I haven’t posted in a full month… “clearing my plate”
I know of life without the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. I can’t think of living without Him now. Without his presence, without his encouragement when I’m down on myself, when I feel insecure (The Great I AM has me in His hands, AMEN!), or his rebuke [...]

True Religion
John preached a immersion of repentance/reformation/change-your-life/stop-sinning-and-live-right/ for the forgiveness of sin. Jesus said that “… repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.”
It takes both. Better is open rebuke than hidden love…
If anyone thinks he is religious, but doesn’t even control his own mouth and deceives his [...]

In light of the season
I just wanted to share my meditation the last week or so, from Philippians 2:1–11:
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one [...]

Pray for workers in the harvest field
Do it. Now I’m starting to see how serious Jesus was about this:
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to [...]
