WP-Bible plugin ]. I would like to share with you this sent message. May it minister to you as it has to me. It is titled "The Dart Test"

The Dart Test
A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr Smith. She says that Dr Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons. Now one particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day.

On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked, or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.

Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was very pleased with the overall effect she had achieved.

The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr. Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall.

Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. Needless to say a hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.

It was then that Dr. Smith said only these words... "I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHATEVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE BROTHERS OF MINE, YOU DID TO ME." MATTHEW 25:40MATTHEW 25:40
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

WP-Bible plugin No other words were necessary; as tears filled eyes of the students, as they focused only on the mangled picture of Jesus Christ.
Author: Unknown.

So, always remember that whatever you do to them(your neighbors), you do to Him(Jesus Christ). Have a wonderful day.

Cell Phones vs The Bible

Cell Phone VS

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones.

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?

This is something to make you go ...hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't ever have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because the bill has already been paid by our Lord Jesus Christ.
I hope this makes you stop and think.. "Where are my priorities?" And remember: with HIM there are no dropped calls

Trust in God rather than in a man

THE LORD IS FAR FROM THE WICKED, BUT HE HEARS THE PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS. PROVERBS 15:29PROVERBS 15:29
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

WP-Bible plugin *NKJV

We may pray that God will handle a problem for us, or to fulfill a dream we have, while never letting it go for Him to handle. We instead take it back and try to handle it on our own.

We may then even put all of our trust in another to solve it for us as well. Now it is written; IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN THE LORD THAN TO PUT CONFIDENCE IN MAN. PSALM 118:8PSALM 118:8
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

So the next time that you ask God to handle something for you, leave it in God's capable hands, and; REST IN THE LORD, AND WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM. PSALM 37:7PSALM 37:7
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Rest in: Heb. Be silent to

Do not pull it back again and try to handle it without Him.

God is always ready to help!

Have a great day.

He keeps us in all our ways.

THE STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD, AND HE DELIGHTS IN HIS WAY. THOUGH HE FALL, HE SHALL NOT BE UTTERLY CAST DOWN; FOR THE LORD UPHOLDS HIM WITH HIS HAND. PSALM 37:23-24PSALM 37:23-24
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. ordered: or, established ²⁴ Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

WP-Bible plugin *NKJV

Now when we first learned to walk, we often fell down, but did we stay down? NO, we reached out to the extended hand of our mother or father, who helped us back on our feet. This happened often until we finally learned to walk on our own.

We can learn to walk with our Heavenly Father's helping hand the very same way! For then when we fall, we can reach out to God through prayer, and accept His merciful helping hand as well! After all it is written; THE LORD LIFTS UP THE HUMBLE; HE CASTS THE WICKED DOWN TO THE GROUND. PSALM 147:6PSALM 147:6
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
