Jeremiah2

What does pride in me look like? 

My habitual proud self?

HOLD THAT THOUGHT . . .

This very interesting 

passage is in Jeremiah 

IMAGINE GOD HAVING

THIS 'conversation' with you . . . embedded in your own context, would you know what he was talking about? 

Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water. 

So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins. 

And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, 

Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock. 

So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, 

as the LORD commanded me. 

And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there. 

Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing

HOW WELL DO I KNOW YOU? 

Not very well?

God, however, knows me 

even better than I know myself.

He asks us to submit ourselves 

one to each other in love . . .

EPHESIANS 4

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Amen

"As creatures, we have needs. We need to eat, and so we eat. As rather intelligent and social creatures, we like to chat with one another, and so we do. 

We take turns and finish our conversations gracefully. And there are dozens and dozens more behaviors that are just as complicated, if not more so. How on Earth do we get all of this done?

That's where habits come in. Habits help us through our day. When we are doing something that is habitual, we are not engaged in the task in the same way as when we are doing something that is not habitual".  - PSYCHOLOGY TODAY QUOTE

Him

I'm not saying our doctor is irrelevant, I'm not saying our diet is irrelevant, I'm only saying what Jesus says

1. His will is abundant life

2. Satan's is kill & destroy 

CHOOSE LIFE !!!

If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 

And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Little children, keep 

yourselves from idols. 

Amen.

Stones

MEANING - What meaneth these stones?

"Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day."

must we learn 

before we teach?

Have you taught anything?

To think is to know how

To teach is to show how

THIS IS PURPOSE 

1st to learn

Then to teach

Do I have any students, followers, disciples? Am I an influencer?  

Or just a follower?

Get some disciples, some followers, a family maybe; THIS IS PURPOSE . . . 

"because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 

10The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

11The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 

12And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 

14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
