Paul’s Ponders

Youth Connection:

I am so stressed!

*Wednesday Night Bible Study *Sunday Morning Bible School *Children’s Church

My daughter had surgery. Our paper is coming out for the first time on a regular schedule. We don’t have enough ads to support it. It is finals week at school. I lost my phone so don’t call or text me. Then it is past my bedtime and I have to write a Ponder that is due right now and I don’t know what to write about. And Debbie has me on a diet that is the opposite of what I usually eat.

Other Announcements

During this time of stress and turmoil a phrase keeps coming back to me: “Consider the lilies of the field”. “Consider the lilies of the field”. Just the thought of lilies gives me a sense of freedom in the Spring and open fields. Listen to the birds flying over. How beautiful the lilies are. 26

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 3 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. - Matthew 6:26-30, 33-34 (KJV) That’s better

Aveces Pienso Salmo 139:11-12 Dios mío, tú me conoces bien, a donde podría ir y esconderme de tu presencia, las personas dicen te conozco pero quien escudriña las mentes y el corazón si no eres tú mi Señor. Dios mío, tú me conoces muy bien; ¡sabes todo acerca de mí! Sabes cuándo me siento y cuándo me levanto; ¡aunque esté lejos de ti, me lees los pensamientos! Sabes lo que hago y lo que no hago; ¡no hay nada que no sepas! Todavía no he dicho nada, y tú ya sabes qué diré. Me tienes rodeado por completo; ¡estoy bajo tu control! ¡Yo no alcanzo a comprender tu admirable conocimiento! ¡Queda fuera de mi alcance! ¡Jamás podría yo alejarme de tu espíritu, o pretender huir de ti! Si pudiera yo subir al cielo, allí te encontraría; si bajara a lo profundo de la tierra, también allí te encontraría. Si volara yo hacia el este, tu mano derecha me guiaría; si me quedara a vivir en el oeste, también allí me darías tu ayuda. 11 Si yo quisiera que fuera ya de noche para esconderme en la oscuridad, ¡de nada serviría! 12 ¡Para ti no hay diferencia entre la oscuridad y la luz! ¡Para ti, hasta la noche brilla como la luz del sol; grande eres mi Señor por eso estoy contigo.
