"Today if you hear God’s voice, harden not your heart." Let us not put off for one moment to another what we "should" do, because the next moment is not yet ours!

The Words of Jesus of Nazareth by Lee Cantelon

Disciples and Servants

 

You cannot allow two masters to rule your life. Either you will disregard one and love the other; or else cling to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and remain enslaved to the gods of this world.

Lord God, Abba Father, thankful and humbly I lift up my eyes and ears to You, seeking Your will, always looking, always listening. For the more I feel at home in and with You, I the more I feel lost and out of place under the sun. Help me find and serve Your will and purpose. Guide me, move me, and motivate me to that end. Always preparing, always ready to act immediate, avoiding putting off that which You call me to do. Always conscious enough in the moment to do for others, that which I would want them to do to me. For in those conscious moments with You do I find the oneness to feel, act and do under the sun, that which I feel when with You. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Oh how precious time is! Blessed are those who know how to make good use of it. Who can assure us that we will be alive tomorrow? Let us listen to the voice of our conscience, to the voice of the royal prophet: "Today if you hear God’s voice, harden not your heart." Let us not put off for one moment to another what we "should" do, because the next moment is not yet ours! 

— St. Pio of Pietrelcina

Esther C:12, 14-16, 23-25

Queen Esther, seized with mortal anguish, had recourse to the Lord. She lay prostrate upon the ground, together with her handmaids, from morning until evening, and said: "God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, blessed are you. Help me, who am alone and have no help but you, for I am taking my life in my hand. As a child I used to hear from the books of my forefathers that you, O Lord, always free those who are pleasing to you. Now help me, who am alone and have no one but you, O Lord, my God.  "And now, come to help me, an orphan. Put in my mouth persuasive words in the presence of the lion and turn his heart to hatred for our enemy, so that he and those who are in league with him may perish. Save us from the hand of our enemies; turn our mourning into gladness and our sorrows into wholeness. 
Psalm 138:1-3, 7-8

1 I give thee thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing thy praise; 2 I bow down toward thy holy temple and give thanks to thy name for thy steadfast love and thy faithfulness; for thou hast exalted above everything thy name and thy word. 3 On the day I called, thou didst answer me, my strength of soul thou didst increase.  7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou dost preserve my life; thou dost stretch out thy hand against the wrath of my enemies, and thy right hand delivers me.  8 The LORD will fulfil his purpose for me; thy steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of thy hands.
Matthew 7:7-12

7  "Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  8  For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.  9  Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?  10  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?  11  If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!  12  So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.

Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:

When Heaven Invades Earth Unabridged By Bill Johnson Narrated by Tim Lundeen – When Heaven Invades Earth is a powerful statement and testimony on the Kingdom of God. Theologically sound, well supported, and extremely well argued, this message provides a carefully constructed biblical foundation for the average Christian to live and walk in the miraculous power of God. Not only is the supernatural possible, it is our commission. The Great Commission that Christ gave the Church challenges us and makes us responsible to rise up to this supreme supernatural calling. Johnson explains how we are called to dominion in the earth through the divine rule of God.
