Cute Duck Picture

Cute Duck Picture

This cute duck reminds me how silly it would be for a duck to worry. This duck is going to be able to swim just fine. God cares for it and takes care of it.

Just think how funny the duckling looks as it is learning to swim. It does not need a swim ring. It can swim free and easy because that is how God made it.

But, did you know that people can be just as funny, goofy and silly? We worry about things that God has promised to take care of. When we worry about something God has already promised to take care of it is as silly as a duck being afraid of the water.




“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)

The reason this is called Nehemiah’s Wall is because in the Bible Nehemiah sets out to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity.

Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.”

Nehemiah 2:17 (NIV)

Where Did He Go? - Optical Illusion

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

Optical Illusion Group of People Shifting

I love optical illusions, and this optical illusion is really interesting.

Count the number of people in this picture.

About every 15 seconds they top part of the people will switch places.

After they switch places count the people again.

Now, where did the extra person go?

This is really strange isn’t it?


God loved us so much that he sent His son so that we would not be lost.

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

John 6:37-40 (NIV)

Easy Guide to Understanding Psalms

Psalms

PsalmsTake a Bible with the Old and New Testament. Lay it on a table and try to open right in the middle of the pages. You will probably open it to the book of Psalms. So what is this book where the words are laid out funny, it says everything twice and always talks about sheep and cups “runneth overing”?




Song Book, Prayer Book and More


Have you ever noticed how music is not just something you hear, it is something you feel? Christmas time “feels” like Christmas partly because of Christmas carols. A scary movie has scary music to make you afraid. When you sing at church, don’t you think about God more?

Well, the Bible book of Psalms is a song book with 150 special songs for ancient Israelites. The book talks about how they felt when they were happy, when they were very sad, when the were upset because the bad guys seemed to be winning and how they prayed to God by themselves and when they worshipped God together.
