Laying sunbeams in a row

Warren Wiersbe "I felt like a man trying to lay sunbeams in a row while evening was marching inexorably in"

Work can feel impossible, with God all things are possible (Christ, listening, receptive to wisdom)
  • Simple, pure devotion to Christ is all that's needed (2 Cor 11:3)
  • Regret: A life lived well comes from listening to instruction and reproof (Proverbs 5:11-14)
  • If we're receptive to wisdom and ask for it, Lord reveals it to us (Proverbs 2:1-10

1 Peter 4:13-14) be eager to do good, you'll be safe, if mistreated for righteousness - still blessed by God
15-16) In heart set Christ apart as Lord, ready to give a logical defense of hope and confident assurance elicited by faith I have with gentleness and respect, let them see my good life because I belong to Christ
17) it's better to suffer for good than wrong

Lord bless the people I work for today, that they would see you. Bless the final class of Alpha, that each man would have a miraculous testimony to share - that they would be eager to find out. In Jesus name, amen. 

God can "lay the sunbeams in a row" - amen
Philippians 2:2 "Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind."
1 Peter 3:8 "Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind."

Prayer is, among other things, an acknowledgment of God’s power, promises, and provision. When you pray, you show our dependence on God. The biblical command is to “present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6).
