123112 [4300]
God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them
to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future.
God reminds us of the past to protect us from
a very shallow security in the present.
Our present enjoyment of God's grace tends to be lessened
by the memory of yesterday's sins and blunders.
God's hand reaches back to the past,
settling all the claims against our conscience.
...the Lord will go before you, and the God of
Israel will be your rear guard —Isaiah 52:12
"You shall not go out with haste . . . ." —Isaiah 52:12
As we go forth into the coming year, let it
not be in the haste of
impulsive thoughtlessness,
let us go out with the patient power of knowing
that the God of Israel will go before us. Our yesterdays
hold broken and irreversible things for us. It is true that
we have lost opportunities that will never return, but God
can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive
thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past rest,
but let it rest in the sweet embrace of Christ.
Leave the broken, irreversible past in His hands,
and step out into the invincible future with Him.

the love
we have — for our children, for our families, for each other....that's
what should drive us forward in everything we do, for as long as God
sees fit to keep us on this Earth." "Let the little children come to
me," Jesus said, "and do not hinder them — for to such belongs the
kingdom of heaven." (Excerpts; President Obama At Sandy Hook Prayer

Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you, Governor. To all the families, first responders, to the community of Newtown, clergy, guests — Scripture tells us: "...do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away...inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

"know your place"
O wretched man that I am! who shall
deliver me from the body of this death?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Romans 8:23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Colossians 2:11 In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ,

CURIOUS?
parts of his being. - Proverbs 20:27
"For The Eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to
show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him." 2
Chronicles 16:9
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for
a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14
==============
consider the following excerpts:
.... obsessed with watching, tracking, monitoring and recording
virtually everything that you do on the Internet. ... nothing you do
on the Internet will ever be private again.
The Internet is the greatest tool for mass communication that the
world has perhaps ever seen, and it gives average citizens the ability
to communicate with each other like never before, but ....Is
everything that we do on the Internet is being watched, monitored and
recorded ????
reasons why …. Potential Employers Are Demanding To See Your Internet Activity
The following comes from a recent CBS News report….
The bad news is that employers are increasingly asking job seekers for
their Facebook and other social-media passwords as part of the process
of vetting them.
While it's unclear how widespread that practice is, there's plenty of
anecdotal evidence to suggest that it is happening with increasing
frequency, as CBS MoneyWatch's Suzanne Lucas details. You can, of
course, refuse to give a job interviewer your passwords. But expect
your employment application to hit the round file, or the trash, if
you don't cooperate.
Do you remember the father that posted that "Facebook Parenting for
the troubled teen" video that went wildly viral all over the Internet
earlier this year?
That video was watched more than 31 million times, but it also
resulted in both the police and Child Protective Services officials
visiting his home.
So be careful what you post on YouTube.
governments all over the world could be monitoring your Internet
activity and you may never even know it. In fact, the level of
Internet surveillance in some countries is arguably even greater than
it is in the United States.
For example, a new bill that has been introduced in Canada would give
government authorities unprecedented power to monitor the Internet
activities of Canadians….
Dubbed "online spying" by critics, the bill is also expected to
require ISPs and phone companies to install equipment for real-time
surveillance ..The UK government is going even farther than that. ..We
suggest that the Government work with internet service providers in
the UK to develop a Code of Conduct committing them to removing
violent extremist material, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is taking
things even farther than that. He recently stated that anyone in
France that is caught regularly visiting websites "preaching hatred"
will be prosecuted.
The following is from a recent Raw Story article….
If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music,
your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and they're
coming for you.
That's the date when the nation's largest ISPs will all voluntarily
implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in
the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users'
bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they
will not download copyrighted materials.
..deal was brokered by the Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and
coordinated by the Obama Administration.
So be careful what you download on the Internet.
The online world has now become a world where there is absolutely no privacy.
Some are responding to this new reality by running away from the Internet,
The Internet has broken the monopoly that the elite had on mass
communication. It has given average people the ability to communicate
with one another like never before. A YouTube video or a blog post
that you put up today could be seen by tens of millions of people.
Information is power, and the Internet has put a tremendous amount of
power into the hands of the general population.
Yes, there will be people watching every single thing you do on the
Internet. So it is important to be very careful.
But the Internet also gives us an opportunity to impact the world that
is unlike anything previous generations have ever had. Something that
you post on the Internet today could end up completely changing a life
on the other side of the globe tomorrow.
The Internet is an incredible tool for exposing evil and corruption,
and over the past decade we have seen many instances when average
people on the Internet have broken major news stories...
In the final analysis, the ability to wake people up and to literally
change the world outweighs the risks of being watched.
The Internet is an awesome tool. It can be used for great good or for
great evil.
If we sit on our hands, we will accomplish nothing.
But if we try, we might just end up changing the world.

least likely thing that is the peril....is not dominant, but remember
it is there, and if you are not warned, it will trip you up. You have
remained true to God under great and intense trials, now beware of the

Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.
Principalities and powers,
Mustering their unseen array,
Wait for thy unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.
Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.
Hear the victors who o'ercame,
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.
Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou lovest to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray.
Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.

The true man wants two things; danger and play.
For that reason he wants a woman,

Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would've thought that a Lamb could
Rescue the souls of men
Oh, You rescue the souls of men
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost our way
Oh, we've hopelessly lost the way
CHORUS:
You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh, our hearts always hunger for
Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne

If you cannot express yourself on any subject, struggle until you can. If you do not, someone will be the poorer all the days of his life. Struggle to re-express some truth of God to yourself, and God will use that expression to someone else. Go through the winepress of God where the grapes are crushed. You must struggle to get expression experimentally, then there will come a time when that expression will become the very wine of strengthening to someone else; but if you say lazily - "I am not going to struggle to express this thing for myself, I will borrow what I say," the expression will not only be of no use to you, but of no use to anyone. Try to state to yourself what you feel implicitly to be God's truth, and you give God a chance to pass it on to someone else through you.
Always make a practice of provoking your own mind to think out what it accepts easily. Our position is not ours until we make it ours by suffering. The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance. - Oswald Chambers

they are hid
If thou hadst known . . . in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. — Luke 19:42
God never opens doors that have been closed. He opens other doors, but He reminds us that there are doors which we have shut, doors which need never have been shut, imaginations which need never have been sullied. Never be afraid when God brings back the past. Let memory have its way. It is a minister of God with its rebuke and chastisement and sorrow. God will turn the "might have been" into a wonderful culture for the future. - CHAMBERS

Check out these interesting articles, brought to you by Discovery News!

Last month the National Geographic Channel introduced "Doomsday Preppers," a Tuesday-night reality series about people who are stockpiling, arming and otherwise preparing for some kind of apocalypse.
Last week it was the Discovery Channel's turn. Its new "Doomsday Bunkers," on Wednesday nights, is about Deep Earth Bunker, a company that builds underground getaways for the types of people seen in "Doomsday Preppers."

And his presence came like sunrise
Like a glory in my breast.
All day long the Presence lingered,
All day long he stayed with me,
And we sailed in perfect calmness
O’er a very troubled sea.
Other ships were blown and battered,
Other ships were sore distressed,
But the winds that seemed to drive them
Brought to us a peace and rest.
Then I thought of other mornings,
With a keen remorse of mind,
When I too had loosed the moorings,
With the Presence left behind.
So I think I know the secret,
Learned from many a troubled way:
You must seek him in the morning
If you want him through the day!
Human & Computer Viruses?
Although this possibility may sound like a foray into science fiction, information security experts believe the blurring of the boundaries between computer and biological viruses is not so far-fetched—and could have very real consequences.
As TechWorld reports, Axelle Apvrille and Guillaume Lovet of the network security company Fortinet presented a paper comparing human and computer virology and exploring some of the potential dangers at last week's Black Hat Europe conference - SCIENTIFIC AMERICA

6th man
---------------
Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 12That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace: 13That our garners may be full, affording all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets: 14That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going out; that there be no complaining in our streets. 15Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
----------------------
3For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. 6For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 7But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 8In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
13Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 14Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 15My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 17All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 18Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression? 25For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 26Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
