I had someone say to me that they drove around our area five years ago and it looked totally different to what it looks like today. Reference: v.2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. (NIV Bible)
I need to constantly remind myself to not worry about my limitations of time but have faith in the God who transcends time and has already gone before me. Reference: v.3a But be assured today that the Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you like a devouring fire. (NIV Bible)
The trouble we can get in to when we have such a structured life is that sometimes we can put God into a particular day. Reference: v.7 Impress them (the Lord's commandments) on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. (NIV Bible)
The verse I have chosen from Proverbs chapter 5 today is a little bit raunchy. But it should be the hope we have for every relationship. Reference: v.19 A loving doe, a graceful deer - may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love. (NIV Bible)
My small brain can not hold the memory of even a whole month, and whenever I turn a new page in my diary it's like a brand new week every time. Reference: v.21 "But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year." (NIV Bible)
I'm not feeling rushed or that my time is nearly over but I'm constantly made aware of my finite time here on earth. Reference: v.18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. (NIV Bible)
I am by no means a builder, but I would have thought - particularly back in the days when they didn't have bobcats and scissor-lifts - it would have taken a lot longer to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. Nehemiah 6:15-7:3 Reference: v.15 So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days. (NIV Bible)
Often it's not until after the event that we can see how God's timing was well placed. Reference: v.9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (NIV Bible)
Linda Bailey is currently in the Philippines leading a short-term mission trip. For two weeks she will be sharing some of her favourite REAP posts. Here is the REAP she has chosen for today... There was a long time between David being anointed king to when he finally took the crown. 2 Samuel 2.1-3.5 Reference: v. 2.11 The length of time David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
We often turn from God's purpose and waste time on what is more comfortable for us, but God will always do His best to call us back to Him.
Acts 7.17-29 Reference: v.22 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action. (NIV Bible) |
