NKJV 5-6

Still Cold! But only a half day at work for me so yay! Me and my friend Sissy went to see Breaking Dawn part 2 again...yes I say again because I have seen it 5 times in theaters. Ironically I saw Breaking Dawn part 1 in theaters 10 times but only watched the DVD once in the past year. LOL Yes I am a Twi-Hard. New to the series though, I read the books and at first they were quite hard to get into but very PG in everything. While I wont let my girls read them until they are 16 they are mild.  No sex before marriage, no drinking, no cursing, no disobeying parents, talks about respecting parents and responsibilities and yes I know its involves Vampires and Werewolves but seriously these guys don't kill anyone. The violence is so mild its non existent and then there is a sex scene (in last book) there are no details...you just have to use your imagination. So judge me if you want but i am Team Edward kinda Twi Hard. lol

Chapter 5 Jesus traveling by boat when they come upon the region of Gerasenes and find a demon possed man, and man so possessed he is living in a tomb and no restraints can hold him, even chains. He drops to Jesus feet and begs for mercy, well the demon does anyway and Jesus brings the demons out of him and they go into a herd of 2000 pigs, Jesus then has them led to the banks where they drown. The towns sees this and asks Jesus to leave (I find that so odd, why ask him to leave?!). Jesus then heals a sick woman who was bleeding for 12yrs, and raises a dead girl...though he asks no one to tell that.
Chapter 6 John the Baptist is beheaded by King Herod!!! I didn't know that!!! Oh My!! Jesus then feeds five thousand with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, later he walked on water..that is where my S.O.A.P. comes from today.

S.O.A.P.

Scripture
Luke 6: 50b
Take Courage! It is I. Don't be afraid!

Observation
Do not be afraid, its listed 365 times in the bible....365 days in a year.

Application
DO NOT BE AFRAID! For God is with you! He will be there for you, protect you and give you guidance. We must trust upon him.

Prayer

Dear Lord,

Help us to take courage, to know you are there and to not be afraid. Because you are in your house, you know the plans you have for us and you will give us guidance, forgiveness and everlasting life if we just trust and have courage and faith in you.  I also ask today Lord you be with Ann and her family in the loss of her daughter.

Amen
