Give a Hoot, Let’s Pray

Want to be as wise as an owl? Reading Biblical books is always good, but there is a step further to take to attain infinite wisdom, ask God for it. Perhaps He will draw you to a section of the Bible which promotes you to gain wisdom. Or you may run into an old companion who God uses to tell you exactly what you needed to hear.  James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” Once you gain this wisdom if you start hooting like an owl you may get asked to leave wherever your hooting at. So maybe avoid doing that and just become wise with prayer, no hoots are necessary!

The Unbeatable Gift

Giving someone a gift is an act of love, we give gifts so we can see the other person happy.  No one would give someone something thinking that person wouldn’t want or need it. Our Lord gave us a precious gift through His son Jesus Christ, a treasure every human desires. As it says in 1 Peter 1:3, “Praise be to the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ in His great mercy He has given us a new birth through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” This would be referring to two new births; the first in our current bodies the second in our new. The first means removing the feeling of “its my way or the highway” sense and letting the Holy Spirit come into your heart and change your life. The second new birth is even better, because guess what? We get rid of this flimsy body and we receive a stupendous new body in a new place where I don’t think they’ll have scales or canes in heaven! And it gets better, no allergies! So free Kats everywhere!

With this in mind, have you received God’s gift for you? He only gives the most precious and glorious presents. Though challenges will still arrive, accepting God’s gift makes it possible to thrive during tough times. The Holy Spirit will guide you and give you perseverance.

Soul Salad

Staring at your bruise only emphasizes the size and pressure of it. Even though it hurts, distracting yourself will get your mind away from the ouch. And perhaps even move on to something nourishing for the body like salads. One might even consider enjoying a soul salad, they are even more nourishing! Where might one find these? With Jesus! He died on the cross for you and I so we might have everlasting life. As it says in Hebrews 12:2 “Fixing your eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him he endured the cross, scorning its shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Let the Holy Spirit be your physical trainer, build strength by reading the Bible, and gain endurance through Jesus, He will guide your every step.
