Rerun of Daily Devotional March 2, 2016
Every Tuesday morning, we have a devotional in the staff meeting. This is the devotional Pete gave yesterday.
- PRAYER IS NOT A “SPARE WHEEL” THAT YOU PULL OUT WHEN IN TROUBLE, BUT IT IS A “STEERING WHEEL” THAT DIRECTS THE RIGHT PATH THROUGHOUT OUR JOURNEY.
- SO WHY IS A CAR’S WINDSHIELD SO LARGE AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR SO SMALL? BECAUSE OUR PAST IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS OUR FUTURE, SO, LOOK AHEAD AND MOVE ON.
- FRIENDSHIP IS LIKE A BOOK. IT TAKES YEARS TO WRITE BUT ONLY A FEW MINUTES TO BURN, .
- ALL THINGS IN LIFE ARE TEMPORARY. IF THEY’RE GOING WELL, ENJOY THEM… THEY WILL NOT LAST FOREVER. IF THEY’RE GOING WRONG, DON’T WORRY… THEY CAN’T LAST LONG EITHER.
- OLD FRIENDS ARE GOLD! NEW FRIENDS ARE DIAMONDS!
IF YOU GET A DIAMOND, DON’T FORGET THE GOLD!
BECAUSE TO HOLD A DIAMOND, YOU ALWAYS NEED A BASE OF GOLD! - OFTEN WHEN WE LOSE HOPE AND THINK THIS IS THE END, GOD SMILES FROM ABOVE AND SAYS, “RELAX, FRIEND,IT’S JUST A BEND, NOT THE END!”
- WHEN GOD SOLVES YOUR PROBLEMS, YOU HAVE FAITH IN HIS ABILITIES; WHEN GOD DOESN’T SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM, HE HAS FAITH IN YOUR ABILITIES.
- A BLIND PERSON ASKED ST. ANTHONY: “CAN THERE BE ANYTHING WORSE THAN LOSING EYE SIGHT?” HE REPLIED, “YES, LOSING YOUR VISION!”
- WHEN YOU PRAY FOR OTHERS, GOD LISTENS TO YOU AND BLESSES THEM, AND SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU ARE SAFE AND HAPPY, REMEMBER THAT SOMEONE HAS PRAYED FOR YOU.
- WORRYING DOES NOT TAKE AWAY TOMORROW’S TROUBLES… IT TAKES AWAY TODAY’S PEACE.
King Solomon said, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7)
Prayer: Dear Gracious Heavenly God, please help me to keep my head on straight and my heart filled with love. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
I think I’m going to pay more attention to what Pete says.
I pray your day is filled with joy and laughter.
