Matthew 17:21: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

This week my subject will be on Delight. I will take a look at the gains derivable from delighting in the Lord and what God does to those He delights in. Happy Reading

Psalms 37:4: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Proverb 3:12: For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Lesson: As fathers correct their children out of the love they have for them, so also God does.

I'm a little bit indisposed and will come back soon. I promise to make up for all the days I'll miss. Thanks and God bless

[gentleemmy]

I'm back and better. I'll continue the daily posts as earlier promised but I'll appreciate if it could be more discussional (i.e. having more people contribute, ask questions and even further explain the posted verses).

Thank you all.

The principle of Sowing and Reaping (Giving and Receiving) may have been glossed over but we’ll pick it up this week.

Monday, 02 – 11 – 2009

Proverbs 11:24: There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

Lesson: Trying to withhold (keep oneself or refrain) from giving will only tend to poverty.
Challenge: This sounds sarcastic but still the principle of God – (scatter-get); (withhold-lack).

[gentleemmy]

Thank you all for reading. I will also appreciate comments, suggestions and contributions to this spiritual project. You may not know how much you can impact to one's life by so doing.

Thanks once again

[phronesis]

You may think people are not reading, but I bet they are. So, keep doing it - don't give up - until very soon, they'll start commenting. One thing is that when it comes to the word of God, people show some look worm attitude, but when it catches up on them or when they catch the vision, there's usually no going back.
