WOWZERS!
God is so amazingly GOOD!! I read a post on facebook this morning that made me want to look up scriptures on governing powers. Here is what I found:
2 Peter 2:9-11
9The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
Romans 13:1-3
1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
Jude 1:8-9
8Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Oh be careful little tounge what you say! I have 2 more scriptures to share with you this day:
Job 9:20If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Matthew 12:37For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Let us all be careful what we say and do. Speak evil of no one. Love one another for there is no law against it!
Luke 6:37Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven

Words "I" need to hear
Hebrews 12:1-9 (King James Version)
1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
5And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

How close is your relationship with God?
Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
-Daniel 6:10
Daniel had been praying on his knees giving thanks to God three times a day everyday long before the law was written to forbid it. It didn't phase Daniel in the least bit to stop his habit even after he knew the law had been signed forbidding praying to anyone but king Darius. And the consequence for disobeying king Darius' law was to be thrown into a lion's den! So what happened to daniel when with the lions? Let's read on.
Verse 22: My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Innocency was found in Daniel because he had not denied the one true God. The lions' mouths were shut so that they could do no hurt. Oh that we would walk this close of a relationship with God! But oh wait, what if these were baby lions who could barely do no hurt?
Verse 24: And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
Ouch!! Jesus said he would never leave nor forsake us. May we do the same! Let us never leave nor forsake our God! Walk with Him. Talk with Him. Have that close relationship with God so that you too will stand strong in your faith knowing that there's NOTHING to fear but God himself! Remember God IS love and perfect love cast out all fear! I'll leave you with these two verses:
Ezekiel 22:25
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Pigs in Pain and Low Flying Planes
What is that title about? Well if it isn't obvious to you, it has everything to do with a disease that has been widespread through our country's media. With all the recent talk about swine flu, it makes one to wonder what ever happened to all the talk about bird flu. Does the media disease make anyone else sick?
Oh and low flying planes? Don't tell me you didn't hear of that one! Well many probably didn't hear about it since I don't think it was nearly as widespread as the pigs. But it's true. I searched it out on youtube myself. On monday, april 27th 2009 a low flying plane was spotted over NYC skies.
It was a photo shoot of an air force one plane! And apparently not even the mayor of NYC knew about it til AFTER the event. They say that some buildings were even evacuated during this supposedly "photo op" flyover. I even saw one video of people running in fear. And apparently our own prez knew nothing about it!
So which is more frightening to you? Reports of swine flu or the fact that Our own president can't keep up with his planes?!? Post me some comments!

It's official, I'm LAZY!
A whole month without blogging?!?? Yes! Busy? Sometimes. Working? sometimes. Lazy? All too often!! I find the same thing happens when it comes to reading the bible. I'm gonna do better from now on though. The same thing also happens when it comes to keeping my house clean. I'm gonna do better with that too! Today is a new day, a fresh start.
