Genesis 29-30; Luke 12 and Psalm 8

Adding a new piece to the reading plan.....something our church is doing for 7 weeks. And like the enewhope plan where I get excited about reading the same thing as people all over!! To be reading the same thing that people in our church are, just excites me...to see what He can do when we are doing that.

Needed Your word this mornig....anger and disappointment take me to listening to and reacting with emotions and feelings rather than where it is You lead. And if I don't fight those voices, labels I won't get to hear Yours.....so this morning reading reminding me I am Your servant comes as great comfort and hearing....Luke 12: 11"When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say."....don't look for places to explain myself or defend.....WHEN the time comes You're there with me.

Luke 12: 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. This morning even clearer in the Message translation 29-32 "What I'm trying to do here is get you to relax, not be so preoccupied with getting so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep yourself in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Don't be afraid of missing out. You're my dearest friends! The Father wants to give you the very kingdom itself.
33-34 "Be generous. Give to the poor. Get yourselves a bank that can't go bankrupt, a bank in heaven far from bankrobbers, safe from embezzlers, a bank you can bank on. It's obvious, isn't it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being.

And then the Psalm how dare I worry about myself when everything around me is from You...
Psalm 8: 1O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise
because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place, 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
7 all flocks and herds,and the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the air,
and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
