“The goodness of God is that which disposes Him to be kind, cordial, benevolent, and full of good will toward men. He is tenderhearted and of quick sympathy, and His unfailing attitude toward all moral beings is open, frank, and friendly. By His nature He is inclined to bestow blessedness and He takes holy pleasure in the happiness of His people”– A.W. Tozer, Knowledge of the Holy, 86-87.
“Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration, and resentment”–Dale Carnegie.
“If bigger is your goal (for your church), just start promising things in Jesus’ name. Religious people love that stuff”–Andy Stanley, Deep & Wide: Creating Churches Unchurched People Love to Attend, 12.
“There is a Christian life, which, in comparison with that experienced by the majority of Christians, is as summer to winter, or as the mature fruitfulness of a golden autumn to the struggling promise of a cold and late spring . . . . It may be fitly termed the Blessed Life. And the Blessedness of the Blessed Life lies in this: that we trust the Lord to do in us and for us what we could not do; and we find that He does not belie His word, but that, according to our faith, so it is done to us. The weary spirit, which has vainly sought to realize its ideal by its own strivings and efforts, now gives itself over to the strong and tender hands of the Lord Jesus; and He accepts the task. . .”–F. B. Meyer, Light for Life’s Duties, 20-21.
“Familiarity breeds contempt, only with contemptible things or among contemptible people”–Phillips Brooks.
“The only one who can truly satisfy the human heart is the one who made it”–@prverbs_31_woman.

Quotes of my Father:
If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.
Practice makes perfect.
1Timothy 6:7-10
For we brought noting into the world,
and we can take nothing out.
But if we have food and clothing,
we will be content with these
But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10) For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wondered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.
1 Timothy 6: 11&12
Now you man of God, run from these things;
but pursue righteousness, godliness, faith,
love, endurance, and gentleness.
Fight the good fight for the faith;
take hold of eternal life,
to which you were called
and have made a good confession
before many witnesses.

Four fingers with an opposing thumb makes five, in a fist = nothing.
For we bring nothing into the world and will take nothing out, of material worth.
But in God’s rest we were created and equipped to deal with the evil which besets us each day. Therefore, be not overcome with evil but overcome evil with Good. For there is no Good, apart from God.
Note most people only see the last three numbers. His Design at work.
Appreciated your lesson Wednesday, pointing out how Jesus was held in contempt by his home folks.
Blessings.
