More wonderings ...
from Acts 18:18-28...
Do you every wonder what makes a smart person?
Is it college? Is it eating all natural foods? Is it following Dave Ramsey to a tee? Is it making enough money to fulfill every desire? I it giving it all away and living on the street? What is it? What makes a person smart?
The question I found in my study from Acts 18:18-28 was.."Who was Apollos and was he a smart man?"
This is the answer I found from the Bible (ESV version)
He was an elequent man, competent in the scriptures, He had been instruected in the way of the Lord and he spoke accurately of the things of Jesus.
As I wonder what makes a smart man I wonder if a part of it could be who is our instructor?
Sometimes I find myself instructing me (and that is always interesting and kinda lonely), and sometimes I find the world instructing me (fear oftens finds its way in this way), and sometimes I find myself instructed by what others think (love the people pleasing way)
...Who instructs you? What makes you smart? Check out Apollos today!
Forgiveness
Good Morning! I was thinking about "love" this morning as I sat with my cup of coffee and my paper and waited on the Lord. Last weeks verse was about being able to love because Christ loved us first. Do you find loving people we like is pretty easy and it is even kind of easy to love those we don't like. We can be the first to love someone but the question I had for myself was... ...how come I can't be the first to forgive someone. Forgiveness is a place I can get stuck! Loving seems easy compared to forgiveness. I think they may go hand in hand. This weeks verse is from Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievenaces you may have aginst one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you It sounds so easy as you "read" it in your Bible! It sounds so easy as you "think" about forgiveness. Can it be easy if we stay in step with the spirit as we walk through our day? ...
