Need a solution????

Bill Johnson said that if ever you find yourself without a solution to a situation, start reading the Bible from Psalm 1 and keep reading until God reveals the solution to you. I've tried doing this - and it works. I read the psalms out loud with an open heart and spirit towards God.

Here is a small taste:
Psalm 1:1-3 (NLT)
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

Mighty mite

I held a real "widows mite" from the era of Jesus for the first time today. This coin, about as big as my smallest fingernail, was poorly stamped. Half the symbol was off the edge of the coin. The rest was quite clear. Apparently most of these coins are like this. It carried the sense that for its day this was not a very valuable coin. The person hand stamping it, did not take much care.

For one woman, a widow, this was all she had - 2 of these small coins. There was no extra income for her. Instead of grabbing hold of them, the natural human reaction, she offered them up to God. The amazing thing is that God noticed and knew. No one else did, but God did. And God honored her. Jesus said she gave more than anyone else, for she gave all. Two thousand years later we are still talking about what she did. God honors her faith today.

God has seen and knows about your faith too. He knows what you have done in secret. And they are shouting about it in heaven.

Knowing God's nature, I am certain he did not leave that widow to die in poverty. Perhaps you will soon find out how He provided for her. Because He will provide for you too.

Help Free Lithuania

I just saw a 1950's Postcard and I believe that it is Prophetic
for today. It reads
---------------------------------------------------

Help Free Lithuania

Please help in any way you can
to restore the Lithuanian Nation
to the freedom which is rightfully theirs.
------------------------------------
It was made by
Help Free Lithuania Postcards
2735 West 43rd Street, Chicago 32 Illinois

--------------------------------------------------------

Father I believe that this is a Word for today.
But the freedom is not political freedom
as desired in the 1950's,
but the freedom Christ Jesus has won for
the people of Lithuania.
Thank You Jesus..
