second tuesday of lent...


scripture:

to those whom God has called, both jews and greeks, Christ [is] the power of God and the wisdom of God.
(1 corinthians 1:24, niv)

questions about the scripture:

why did paul call upon the greeks as well as the jews in this letter to the church at corinth???

my answers to yesterday's question:

the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
(psalm 19:1, niv)

in this scripture, david, is making a point about the heavens only being there to glorify GOD. why??? i think david wanted the heavens/sky only to be marveled as GOD's handwork... as opposed to being used used for telling the future (astrology/astrological signs).

memory of the day:

a long time friend (with a life unfinished) was given some really devastating news.
heartbreaking...

saying grace:

dear Father, i love you and Your way with all i am and all i ever will be.
FATHER i have put in a pretty large request to YOU.
i will continue to pray YOUR will until i receive a sign from YOU.

however...

here am i; send me.

FATHER, please forgive my selfishness and my inability to forgive the way i should; help me!!!
i want to be not only Your child but a child of YOURS of whom you can be proud.

my GOD, in prayer of intercession, i humbly lift up the following...
