Have you ever considered?

[Blien]

Have you ever read the Bible or seen something that just has you marvel over God? Somethings that just makes you think... not in a deep or thoughtful way but your just laughing and what he does? I wonder if he is as playful and joyful as I imagine him to be.. because I love to play and joke sround.

Think about this... have you ever seen God PROUD of his creations? "Yessss" I hear you saying, "he was proud of Jesus!" Right! But.. Have you ever seen God make a recommendation? .....

Job 1: 6-8

6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. 7 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"

Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."

8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."

Do you realize what he just did?!! Hahahaha! What a recommendation! Now whenever I hear about someone making a Job Recommendation.. this is always going to come to mind! hahahaha..

I bet there were times where Job wished he could have seen the job description in advance

You know, last Sunday night or Wednesday night, my pastor spoke about taking your spiritual life too seriously. I've always seen God as being nothing but serious. I know that He knows that we're weak and won't always be perfect, but I seem to be on edge, just waiting for Him to tell me to do something, especially to witness to somebody.

However, there was one Easter Sunrise service where a guy had a word from God for me: "He's pleased with you." Man, that tears me up even now and I got that years ago.

God, please help me to know the real You and stop seeing you the way my stern and emotionally distant dad was.

I know how you feel... I was feeling comndemned and hurt and as if I couldn't make up to God what I did to him. But then I received messages from ppl reminded me of the prodigal son.. and one man even said to me "Remember that you are greatly loved". There was no doubt in my mind these messages were from God, he loves you Zadok Rox.

GOD BLESS YOU

Thanks, Blien. Lord, please help me to accept this and keep it in mind. In Jesus' name, amen.

well, i know this scripture made me chuckle when i first read it and i still get it a kick out of three weeks later. i never enjoyed a psalm better than this one, its from psalm 94:

8 Take heed, you senseless ones among the people;

you fools, when will you become wise?

9 Does he who implanted the ear not hear?

Does he who formed the eye not see?

10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish?

Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?

11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man;

he knows that they are futile.

love it!

I like that one. How about Paul's sarcasm? I bursted out in laugher when I read it the first time..

Paul Boasts About His Sufferings

16I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting. 17In this self-confident boasting I am not talking as the Lord would, but as a fool. 18Since many are boasting in the way the world does, I too will boast. 19You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! 20In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face. 21To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!

HAHAHAHA!!

What anyone else dares to boast about

[peaches]

just found more!

1Corinthians1:15 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.)

the last part is just funny cos thats not a line i would expect to see in the bible. its so...just so casual .... i dont know, its funny!

and then 1Corinthians 1:21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

it reminds me of how sometimes we try sooo hard to appeal to man with the words that come out of our mouths...preaching up a storm...and yet God is probably thinking, what is this foolishness that she is saying? but at least she is trying! lol.

Hahahaha!!!!!! :) :24:

Man, in all seriousness though. Those verses have some heavy connotations too. It just makes you appreciate how many levels of meaning there are to some verses..

Oh Blien, God doesn't "comdemn" HIS Christian spirits! He may convict your spirit in you, but He has already told us that HE will only "condemn" those who disobey HIM and refuse to believe in HIM or Repent to HIM!

P.S. I am discerning you have a pure spirit!

Blessings
