Siesta Scripture Memory Team: Verse 14!
If it weren't Scripture memory day, I wouldn't have posted this fast after yesterday's entry for anything on earth. If you didn't get a chance to read Melissa's post "Oh, Yes, Jesus Loves Me," enter your memory verse here but be sure and go back and read the previous one. It was true ministry in every sense of the word. Thank you, Lis.
OK, Scripture Memory Team! Well, as it turns out for all of us, we really did need these verses this year, didn't we? I've had a season I wasn't expecting, packed with many challenges, concerns, and fears but, praise His glorious Name, it's also been packed with a whole lot of Jesus. And that's what I want, Girlfriend. More than anything on earth. Perhaps you'll be able to tell from my selection this time that I am, once again, working on something in particular. I'm not just looking to memorize, Sister. I'm looking to change. Scripture memory alone will just make you arrogant. Lapping up those Scriptures like they are the only spring in your desert will make you different.
I'm doing two in tandem:
"I have resolved that my mouth will not sin." Psalm 17:3b NIV
"Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips." Psalm 141:3 NIV
I love you. Stay with it, Siestas!

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.

See things from his perspective.

Samuel 15:22-23 (New International Version)
22 But Samuel replied:
"Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD ?
To obey is better than sacrifice,
and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is like the sin of divination,
and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.
Because you have rejected the word of the LORD,
he has rejected you as king."

Matthew 8:7-12 (NLT)
7 Jesus said, “I will come and heal him.”
8 But the officer said, “Lord, I am not worthy to have you come into my home. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. 9 I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to those who were following him, he said, “I tell you the truth, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel! 11 And I tell you this, that many Gentiles will come from all over the world—from east and west—and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the Kingdom of Heaven. 12 But many Israelites—those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Working through Galatains...
17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Well, only 8 months to operationalize a "please, shh."
I do not know if I should laugh or cry. I am serious. I hope God is still offering now what he was then. Typically He does but the circumstances lead along another track... you'll have to let me know, some day, when ALL the games, gunga and pretenses have fallen away.
