Three Thoughts

Psalm 1:1-2 

¹ Blessed is the one
   who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
   or sit in the company of mockers,
² but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
   and who meditates on his law day and night.

The Adventuresome Spirit

The way you tell me to live is always right; help me understand
it so I can live to the fullest.—Psalm 119:144 MSG

It seems like there is something electrifying about individuals with
adventuresome spirits. They see life through a different lens. They
don’t wait on the sidelines. They don’t keep saying, “If only . . .” or
“Why me?” They don’t battle against unusual circumstances or
departures from the norm. It’s as if they operate from a whole different
voltage or current. They almost emit electricity because
nothing about them is dull or uninteresting or unplugged.
A life of adventure is ours for the taking, whether we’re seven
or seventy—whether we throw a paper route, take care of an
aging parent, study for a degree, work around the clock, stay at
home to raise our children, or circle the globe in the service of
our Creator. I’m convinced that the whole world is better when
we, as individuals, capture and savor each moment as the gift that
it is, embrace the challenge or joy of it, marry it (if you will), and
thereby transform it with the magic of creative possibility. Life,
for the most part, is what we make it. We have been given a
responsibility to live it fully, joyfully, completely, and richly, in
whatever span of time God grants us on this earth.

Isaiah 40:31
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.


The three passages above are from my two devotional e-mails and one calendar scripture for today.  I am wondering what God is trying to tell me through them...
