Own Devotions (may 27)

Hey guys, hows it going! Hope your weeks going great!
I have no school for thursday and friday, sick! Is prom thursday, so teachers are telling us not to come to class, awesome!

Anyways, devotion time!

Proverbs 1

The reason why i'm doing proverbs 1 today is because, as i read through this chapter, i learned about having to hear and talk to God. From versus 20-33, it talks about warning against Rejecting Wisdom.

Now, to me this sounds like listening to Gods voice, but we simply ignore it because of the sins around us or were just not listening. This includes, idols and other sins are lives which may stop us from hearing Gods message. Also, If we choose not to, or cannot listen what God is telling us, it can be lack of prayer. This is because most of the time, we hear Gods voice and recieve his message through prayer, right? From versus 20-33, explains everything about warming against rejecting wisdom. Im kind of bouncing around, sry.

v33. But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease without fear of harm.

We must be able to listen what God is trying to tell us. In order to optain that, i suggest more prayer, and get rid of all sins that may be affeceting your relation ship with God, such as idols(2nd commandment).

AMEN!!!

anyways, here's my devo.

Mark 4:1-13

this passage is about the parrable of the sower. So basically, a farmer was scattering seeds and there are four situations:
1) Some fell along the path and got eaten up by birds.
2) Some fell on rocky places with little soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow, but when the sun came up, the plants were scorched and died because they had no root.
3) Some seeds fell among thorns, and when they grew, they were choked by the thorns so it bore no grain.
4) Some fell on good soil and grew and produced a crop of 30, 60, or 100 times.

These four situations each represent different kinds of people:
1) Some people are like seeds along the path where the word is sown and as soon as they hear it, Satan (bird) comes and takes away the word.
2) Some who fell on rocky places recieve the word with joy, but since there is no root or foundation, it doesn't last long. When trouble or persecution comes their way, they fall quickly.
3) Some people hear the word, but the worries of like, deceitfulness of wealth and desires for other thing come and choke the word, making it unfruitful.
4) Others are sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it and produce a crop 30, 60 and even 100 times greater.

I think all of us fall under one of these four categories, and it was a real eye opener for me.

This was my longest devo to date hahahha
and pray for me tommorow because i have my G2 test and i wanna pass hahhaa

WHAT HAPPENED TO YESTERDAY"S DEVO?
HELLOOOOO- goodness gracious.
anyways- Joseph, do you know how to get to church by bus?

Romans 1: 18-32

Very very very intersesting passage.
vs 26: Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

In this passage, it describes of the eventual wickedness human beings came to possess and God's "forfeit" of his children over.

When one would read this passage, it would seem God forfeited his children to sin but I think, he is fortunately and bitterly 'forfeiting' because he loves us.

The only way God loves us, i.e. give us our free wills is to let us be no matter way we choose and do.
That is my explanation of Paul's description of God's wrath.

His wrath is the bitter act of letting us go, because he dearly loves us yet yearns for us to be pure and holy.

umm, i do, not from finch station but, we will have to walk to Cummer Ave, then we will take bus from their going east, then it will lead right to church!
