John 2-4

Yesterday: 2 Peter 1: 3-4 Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you—your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust.

Today: 20-22 They were indignant: "It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?" But Jesus was talking about his body as the Temple. Later, after he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this. They then put two and two together and believed both what was written in Scripture and what Jesus had said.

And hearing You say....'Moment by Moment'.......

Even the disciples walking with you daily sometimes, in the looking back were better able to see all that You Do....seeing You in everything is still such a surprise...I know it shouldn't be, I shouldn't BE surprised.. ...but Abba it is and what a delightful surprise it is.....

John 4: 36-38 "The Harvester isn't waiting. He's taking his pay, gathering in this grain that's ripe for eternal life. Now the Sower is arm in arm with the Harvester, triumphant. That's the truth of the saying, 'This one sows, that one harvests.' I sent you to harvest a field you never worked. Without lifting a finger, you have walked in on a field worked long and hard by others."

Our recent conversation and Your assurance that IF I do what I can do YOU are always DOING WHAT YOU DO SO WELL....
