Jeremiah 1-3

Read these amazing chapters at http://www.bible.com/ or with the BIBLE READER widget to the right of this post.

It's awesome reading about how awesome God is. It's just amazing to me how He can have a personal relationship with us, similar to how He talked with the prophet Jeremiah. That He could tell him what to say, and interact with His people like that.

It makes me a little jealous that we can't just sit down with a cup of coffee with God today, but that doesn't mean we can't still have a relationship with Him. We can always pray to Him, and no matter what, we know He's listening.

If you invite Jesus into your heart to be your Savior, then you automatically have His soul living in yours. It's a weird concept, but it's so awesome and life-changing that I encourage it to everyone! Get to know the Creator! Talk to the one who knew you from birth.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Jeremiah 1:5

And yeah, maybe God doesn't directly talk to you in English. But you know what? He has a purpose for all of us. He can make prophets of all of us, if we follow His will and go out into the world to show His love.

I encourage you to get o know God if you haven't yet, and even if you have... get to know Him more! Read about Him, pray with Him, and make Him known to those around you.

That's just about it. Peace out.

Isn't He an awesome God? He knew us before we were formed in the womb. He knows our every thought and word, before we do or speak. It can't get any better than this.

The World that We Live In- A Prayer

By -
Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of The Killers, included a beautiful lyric in one of his songs, "The World that We Live In." This is the world that we live in, and I feel myself get tired. Boy, is this ever true. I just started a new job this summer, which is so exciting, but in all of that excitement I have been so busy adjusting to working life that I really haven't had time to poke my head out and look up at the world around me.  In some respects, that's a good thing. I have been able to temporarily shield myself from state of our nation and the hurtful rhetoric being used against the least of these. However, when I do have time, or if there is something that is just too big to ignore, it hits me like a train. I am suddenly, instantly aware of just how broken our world is, and how deeply we need our Lord Jesus to come. Maranatha . And, when I get overwhelmed… When my thoughts are too vast and too incomprehensible and I have a hard time sleeping at night,

John 13-15 Check out http://www.bible.gateway.com/ to read todays verses or go to the BIBLE READER to the right of this post. So Jesus does something big in the reading tonight. He washes his disciples feet. washing someones feet was usually done by the lowest ranking person in the room, it was a dirty job because everyone wore sandals on the dirt roads, plus everyone walked everywhere. When Jesus does this he knows that his time on earth is coming to an end and that he needs to teach his disciples another lesson: humility. We all need to take this lesson in, especially in the world we live in today, sometimes we think things are beneath us to do, maybe it's babysitting your little brother, moving the lawn, cleaning up the house, or something more. But we need to learn that we need to be willing to do God's work in the world, doing whatever it takes to get His message out there. Jesus tells his disciples- "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, s

Matthew 27-28 Read these chapters now with the BIBLE READER to the right of this post or at http://www.biblegateway.com/ SLOW DOWN AND THINK ABOUT IT! To me, there are two things that get in the way of making good, clean decisions: Hate, and Love. Two passionate emotions, which BOTH can lead to rash decisions you're bound to regret later. Today is just a reminder to everyone that even though in the moment, things might seem fine and dandy, every decision done out of these emotions will come back to you somehow. Sometimes, we just need to slow down and think about it. We need to take the time to THINK, instead of getting caught up in the moment. I know this is a silly example, but take Homecoming for example. You know, the dance at the beginning of the school year? People tend to live a little too in the moment, so I've noticed. They get mad at people for STUPID things, and they dance a little to close with people they'll regret the next day. I've counted several instanc
