Home | Daily WordUNDERSTANDING
I open my mind and heart to new understanding.
I have had instances in my life that were "aha" moments--flashes of insight when I suddenly understood a particular idea or concept. It was as if a lightbulb went off and I knew what I needed to know. Spiritual growth can be filled with these moments of deep understanding, when I know at a soul level that I am one with God.
Just as a child learns to read one letter at a time, I learn more about my spiritual nature one moment at a time. Whenever or however it may occur, each glimpse of divine wisdom is an opportunity to learn and grow in spiritual understanding and faith. Every "aha" moment with God is part of my ongoing process of spiritual growth, leading me deeper in faith, strengthening my confidence.
The meditation of my heart shall be understanding.--Psalm 49:3

1 Kings 18:1-46 "And it came to pass after many days, that the..." KJV - Online Bible Study It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not somuch as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2 And ye are puffedup , and have not rather mourned , that he that hath done this deed might be taken away fromamong you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present , concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord JesusChrist, when ye are gathered together , and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved inthe day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneththe whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye areunleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast ,not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavenedbread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or withidolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company , if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or arailer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat . 12 For what have I to do tojudge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that arewithout God judgeth . Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

My animal friends are God's love in expression.
From the tiniest amoeba to the largest whale, every living creature has a place in the world. Some help keep nature in balance, some provide sustenance for others, some help us learn more about ourselves, and others become treasured companions.
When I laugh at the antics of a squirrel playing in a tree, observe a mother cat nursing her kittens, or admire a new colt sprinting across a field, I see God and give thanks. I bless these creatures for the joy they are. I show my appreciation by doing my part to preserve the environment in which they live.
With a prayer of thanksgiving, I bless the remarkable animals that share this planet with me.
In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. --Psalm 104:24

1 Corinthians 4:1-21 "Let a man so account of..." KJV - Online Bible Study Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 3 But with me it is a very smallthing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4 For Iknow nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified : but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 5Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come , who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall everyman have praise of God. 6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself andto Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written , that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive ? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory , as if thou hadst not received it? 8 Now ye are full , now ye are rich , ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign , that we also might reign with you. 9 For Ithink that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made aspectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye arewise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 11 Evenunto this present hour we both hunger , and thirst , and are naked , and are buffeted , and have no certain dwellingplace ; 12 And labour , working with our own hands: being reviled , we bless ; being persecuted , we suffer it : 13 Being defamed , we intreat : we are made as the filth of theworld, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 14 I write not these things to shame you,but as my beloved sons I warn you. 15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yethave ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 17 For this cause have I sent unto youTimotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembranceof my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. 18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. 19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will , and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up , but the power. 20 For the kingdom of God is not inword, but in power. 21 What will ye ? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spiritof meekness?
