Good morning everyone.The Lord is sending more rain onto His parched land here in Oz. We still need a lot more as the ground is so dry it is just soaking every drop up and we are not getting run off into the catchment areas, but I praise Him
for giving us what He has so far.The good Lord knows our needs and I am confident He will fulfil them.
My prayer is that the parched souls of this nation [and others] who are more determined on fulfilling their short term earthly desires rather than eternal ones will turn to Him and be replenished spiritually.
God bless my dear brothers and sisters in Doc's thread and all over CF.

That is wonderful news about the rain! I have faith also that God will satisfy all our needs, whether rain or anything else. ....The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want (be in need). He is always faithful and that is how we learn patience and to trust Him while we await His fulfillment of His promises.

A Humble Attitude
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." Philippians 2:3
God has arranged the members of the body of Christ just the way He wants them. That means He has assigned us our place in life as well as our work. Yet, how often do we consider a task below us or how often do we grumble when we don't get the recognition that we think we deserve.
The next time you are in a situation where you have the opportunity to serve another, ask yourself "why am I doing this?"
Be honest with yourself. Is it because you want to find favor in the eyes of your pastor or your friends?
Is it because you want to give people a certain impression of yourself? Or is it simply because you love Jesus and you desire to please Him?
Ask the Lord today to purify your desire to serve Him.

It's amazing that we can't fool Him. We can fool others, and ever ourselves, but our Lord sees right into our hearts; He sees our intent - and He knows us so much better than we know ourselves.
How wonderful that it is that we can't lie to Him. It means that even if with people things go left unsaid, or there's miscommunication and secrets, with God we are as transparent as a sheet of glass so clean you can barely see it. How freeing, that is. And how miraculous that He adores us, regardless of what He sees...
Thank you, Doc.

When I was younger I did things to please others (I wanted and liked to) but also to be liked or accepted. Now I try to do things so they don't know it is I that do them, or that they don't even see the thing that is done, so as to please the Lord and not to have the recognizion. Because it is not I that does it really, it is God that wills it and gives that grace.

Hi! It's good to be here again. I love reading all your posts. You've got me thinking about how wonderful it is to do things for others, to be genuinely concerned for someone. Listening to people is a great way to show love. Often we're so quick to say what we want to say, even before we hear the other out! If we quit thinking about ourselves so much, and we really care about the other, then we will listen and try to understand what they're trying to communicate, instead of trying so hard to get our point across.

Everyone have a great week. I have had a good start. I made a 100 on my college philosophy exam. First perfect score on any exam I have ever taken I believe.
Congratulations, Will! That's really wonderful!
God bless you!

I am sure at times that God gets disgusted with our behavior and
our lack of seeking after him. I'm sure there are moments when he
acts to bless us only because we are his people and we wear his
name. But when we cry out, confessing our sins and shortcomings, he
is still our Savior. Even when we are not what we should be, God
can act out of compassion and preserve the glory of his name.
