I know your probably thinking..Umm wasn't she just on Matthew? Yes I was..but I felt that Proverbs should be read...so We are going to proverbs.
Chapter 1is the proverbs of Solomon son of David, King of Israel, is teaching us to fear God and to follow him, listen to Him and take heed of this warning.
S.O.A.P.
Scripture
Proverbs 1: 29-33
29 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord
30 since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,
31 they will be filled with the fruit of their schemes
32 For they waywardness of the simple will kill the and the complacency of fools will destroy them
33 But whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at easy, without fear of harm
Observation
Choosing not to listen to the Lord will only end in undesirable results, but those who choose to follow the Lord will be free from harm.
Application
Thank goodness for second chances and forgiveness right? Because we sin every day, all day and sometimes we commit the same sin we said we wouldn't. We ask for forgiveness and look to God for his guidance and we try to do better. What I believe God is talking about is those who willingly choose to do wrong, all the time, and do it because its going to harm someone. We all have done that in the past as well...but we can ask for forgiveness and not do it again.
Prayer
Dear Lord,
I ask that you help us follow your path, be more courteous, thoughtful and try not to harm on purpose. I ask that you forgive me for all my sins...I am guilty of some of these things if not all and I ask that you help me not do it again. I am sorry for cutting the guy off this morning, I honestly figured I would have more time and I didn't think he would get so mad. I ask that you be with Ann as she is hurting Lord, wrap your arms around her and give her the comfort that only you can. Be with K as she is still dealing with these things, I asked you to put D in D's place and you have Lord and it was painless. I thank you for that. You do move mountains.
Watch over us as we go to school, work and home today Lord, bring us back together and let us dwell as a family.
Amen

NKJV Matthew 9
Hi Ho Hi Ho its off the work I go! I am ready for my routine! I know write that down but I am I miss the predictable and in a few weeks I will be begging for a 5 days off again. I know I will as our show seasons is starting to heat up. Fort Worth Stock Shows is always the first of the season, while we have no way of winning this ( don't get me wrong, my kid & her goats are winners....its just a different set of standards than we breed too) we just like to be a part of such a historic event.
Hope all of yalls New Years were good, lets hope this year is the year we keep our resolutions and make some changes. I need too...Seriously need too.
Chapter 9
Right out of the gate in Chapter 9 Jesus heals a paralytic, then he calls Matthew who was sitting at a tax collectors both and has dinner with him in his home. Jesus is then questioned about fasting, how come Johns disciples do it but Jesus disciples do not. He then raises a girl from the dead and heals a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years; he then goes on to heal the blind and mute.
S.O.A.P.
Scripture
Matthew 9: 13
But go and learn what this means :" I desire mercy, no sacrifice". For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
Observation
Simply put Jesus is responding to the Pharisees telling them that just because Matthew is not of their social standing dose not mean he is not worth of Jesus. He is there for everyone not just the wealthy or upstanding citizens of the community, but for everyone including those that everyone hates.
Application
We all do it, we look down our noses at someone for their clothes, social standing or behavior when in reality we shouldn't judge but have mercy. We can just preach to the wealthy but we must preach to the non wealthy and to those who others think done deserve it.
Prayer
Dear Lord,
I ask for your forgiveness in this area, for I am not as diligent as I should be. I also ask you help me to see the good in everyone. I Thank you for this day and new year Lord, I ask that you help me with my resolutions...for this year they are vitally important. I also ask that you be with K, as you know her needs and struggles in the same area where I struggle..give her peace and understanding. I ask that you be with Ann, I cant imagine loosing a daughter. Be with L, and her addiction, help the recovery come soon and last long, with S, C, H, T, J , B, J as we return to work, may their business grow. Be with Lois's family as they are still dealing with their sudden loss, be with all the parents and families who lost their kids at school....makes sending mine so much hard, I hold tighter, cry more. Be with them...for they are all suffering and dealing with a loss no parent should ever face. Bless this day and let it glorify you. Let us travel safely today Lord and come back home to dwell as a family.
In your heavenly name,
Amen
