Words written in red; Words of Jesus
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesare’a Philip’pi, he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that the Son of man is?" And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Eli’jah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.
Matthew 16: 13 – 20
Just as men’s fleeting joy for the world’s sake has an eventual sorrow that accompanies it, Godly tears are a seed of perpetual and unending joy.
— St. John Chrysostom
Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful and humble, resting in Your Words at the foot of the Cross in Your arms I write to You today. For You are my LORD God and I pray to You, that will fulfill Your purpose for me; through Thy steadfast love, O LORD, as Abba Father who endures forever in the hearts of all that seek truth in serving Jesus and must overcome themselves by dying to themselves; do not forsake the work Thy hands have begun and complete in me that work which will lead me to be what You intended before I became corrupted under the sun. For while the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of You Lord God are clearly beyond human if not my understanding, but not my belief. For who could know the mind of You Lord God, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to You that we could not repaid? But Jesus! For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever. And to run and race and finish serving Jesus is all one could and should seek; anything more is but a blessing, a gift from You in His name. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
When I Lay My Isaac Down: Unshakable Faith in Unthinkable Circumstances (Unabridged) By: Carol Kent Sometimes we make sacrifices to help us get ahead, to allow us more time with family, or because we believe in the cause. And then there are sacrifices in which we have no say, "Isaac experiences" as in Genesis 22, thrust upon us without warning or survival instructions. This audio book outlines eight transformational power principles that Gene and Carol Kent learned in the process of facing the news that forever changed their lives.
Becoming a Person of Influence By: John C. Maxwell and Jim Dornan "You can immediately [sense a] spark when you hear John Maxwell and Jim Dornan talk about leadership. Their understanding of influence is like mine for guitars; it’s woven into the fabric of their being." – (Bob Taylor, President, Taylor Guitars). With influence, you can achieve success at home, work, and in every other area of life.
