Month: July 2010

I am really tired today and I’m not sure why.  I was in bed really early last night, and got a lot of sleep.  Today was an easy day so who knows.  We got the food booths put together for Super Summer, then I had to drive to Columbus again to drop off the Schieldt’s suburban so the rafters could get back.  This after noon was sprinklers and computer stuff.  I also finally got my email news letter out.

Psalms 119:133-136 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.

I really have nothing to say.  I’ve looked at these on my Facebook page, and there seems to be a lot of spaces left out.  Just for the record, I type these things on my blog (blog.michel2010.name) and Facebook automatically grabs them.  On my blog the spacing is correct (not that any of you care, but I feel better knowing that you know(of course this assumes some one reads these)).  Oooh, double parenthesis, can you do that?  I am so retarded.

Psalm 119:75-76 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness has afflicted me. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

Proverbs 20:3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

How easy for me, in the position that I am in, to meddle.

I know, my title is lame.  I couldn’t think of anything better.  It was a good day.  I spent most of the morning in meetings, and all afternoon on a chainsaw blocking up wood to be split.

Psalm 119:5-8 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

Proverbs 19:11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

II Chronicles 16:9a For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

How cool is that? God wants to prove Himself. He is looking for excuses/chances to do so. How many perfect hearts does He find?

Actually I have nothing to say, so I’ll go strait to what I read tonight.

Psalm 118:1-4 O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy en dureth for ever. Le them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Father please teach me to use my tongue for life.

II Chronicles 15:14-15 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with comets. And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them and the LORD gave them rest round about.

My prayer for myself and my country, that Christ would be our whole desire.

15:17b nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

A perfect heart. What does that look like?

Today was actually a really good day. I got the sound booth pc figured out. The power cord was bad. Then I spent the afternoon with Jim, digging a trench for the septic pipe (from the shower trailer to our main system). This evening I finished a book I bought at Fishtail General store, and it was a really good book. Then, to top the evening off Nate made me a chocolate shake (which was delicious).

Proverbs 17:9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

II Chronicles 14:11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude, O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

Prayers like this fascinate me. I can’t help but feel like God’s arm is being twisted. We’re fighting in Your name, if we loose it will look bad. Then I look at the first part where Asa points out to God that they are relying on Him to win the battle. That makes it better. The rest of the chapter talks about how Asa honored God and obeyed Him. I’m tired, but I think this shows something of God’s character I just can’t figure out what yet. By the way Judah won that war.
