Topic: Beautiful (11/07/05)
Moses tells God...
And if this is the way You deal with me, kill me, I pray You, at once, and be granting me a favor and let me not see my wretchedness [in the failure of all my efforts]. ...Numbers 11:15 (AMP)

This is the most beautiful scripture I ever read. Many of us can relate to Moses. Times where we try to make things productive knowing positive things should come out of our efforts, but on the contrary nothing but failure. Hidden secret to success...

Philippians 2:13 (AMP)
[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.

Saints,
Only thing God will kill out of us is our pride. He can't stand pride and it must be broken so He can work with us. We all love Jesus, now let's deny our carnal thinking and follow Him. Remember thinking only hurts us (Isaiah 50:10-11), so let's loses ourselves in Him, Amen!

Jesus said...
“For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. (Luke 9:24 NKJV)

Jesus set before us the beautiful example of how to live: experiencing our life through His love, holding nothing too tightly, except the things that God holds dear to His heart- other human beings.

Good start on a powerful message. Hope you flush this out a bit a repost it later.

Sweet but way too short! Please flesh (I think that's what dub meant to type) this out. Perhaps add you personal response throughout this, rather than just at the beginning, so that we can relate to where you are on this journey?

Awesome choice of "beautiful" scriptures! I agree, draw out the application and this will be powerful.
