catch-up

Saturday, November 3, 2012 (11:02 a.m.)

Blessed Father,

I'm attempting to play catch-up here. A couple of prayers were started this week that didn't really go too far toward completion. You know me though. You not only know how to get my attention, but hold it as well. I believe You want me to learn something important through this process so I offer this entry to You in the note taking way I originally began it:

Lakewood, CA

Blessed Father God,

Speak to me this day about “the promised land”. The thought hit about four a.m. and continues coming to mind.

I'm here without my usual Bible and other resources.

Amazing Father God,

Thank You for guiding and directing my thoughts this morning. Distractions could have easily taken over my thought process. Songs could once again have sidetracked, rather than enhanced, our time together. Thank You Father. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Holy Spirit.

Caleb

Numbers 13    Numbers 14:24    Joshua 14-15   Judges 1   1Chronicles4:15

Believes God's promises against all odds

With God's help – conquer all obstacles and difficulties

Believes God's Word despite the obstacles

Self-worth NOT based on opinions/acceptance of others

Joshua

urged people to trust God – He is loving, powerful, able to lead

WHOLE generation except Caleb and Joshua died in the desert

Joshua 24:15 “...me and my family”

Can't escape pain by avoiding responsibility and its demands

Often experience much deeper pain when we run from it than when we accept it

Trust and obedience outweighs ability

I'm not sure what You would have me take away from this added time together, but I ask You to bless it nonetheless. I love You Father and I thank You for every single aspect of Your Being. Thank You for this opportunity to learn and to share more of Your Word. I love You. Thank You. Amen.
