The Rising Waters

Matthew 14:31

 

The storm the disciples experienced that day was tenacious. <(See Add-101 end page.) The disciples thought they were going to die, tensions was high, here were seasoned fisherman knowing what the sea could do in a storm. On top of that when the looked out towards the water, they saw, what they thought was a ghost coming towards them.. The disciples were being motivated by anxiety and fear, it lead them to do what “they knew” that is working to sails and oars..  Jesus knew the disciples would be facing the storm, just like He knows we will be facing storms in our life, he knew what they had a choice to do. There are sure to be trail, struggles, and sorrows, in all our own lives. We will face turbulent waters in and out of major storms. However there are some lessons you cannot get by an instructor or teacher, as humans we can only find the wisdom in experience. These that we have to be lived through, no instructor or teacher is going to be able to fully mold you into becoming what God what God wants us to become, it’s in the  experiences we grow the best, whereas we can help others. Just as He was showing His Disciples that day He try’s to teach us today faith in Him will always quite the storm.

 

There are for sure lessons we can only deal with adequately by experience, no book or instructor can help you what to feel or how to deal with what is inside you. Telling you, that you will experience sorrow in your life, cannot / will not be able to make you capable of dealing with what you will feel in the duration of the experience. If you’re an animal lover no one can tell you the how’s to what you are going to react to the experience. If you have had a close friend die or move far away no one can tell you what or how you be in the experience. It has to be what you experience foremost by you in you every one is different.

We also interact differently in the experience; one thing
I can tell you is sorrow is a global experience. There actually are a few emotions that are global Love, Anger, Fear, Sorrow, and dealing with death…. I Love Animals, even the little baby birds I feed in the morning,.. If I was to loose a cat or dog it would affect me greatly, another may not experience the same.

 

We, at the end of the day, know that it is in faith we are to grow. When the every day struggles that can happen, when we call on God, when the huge obstacle comes our way, if we go to Him in the small stuff the huge one will be far less of an impacted..

 

 

Just because we grow differently, in different stages, one mans ability to grow in his faith may not be as advanced as your own, that does not make it less important.

 

The lesson Jesus was showing the disciples that day was if we take our eyes off him there is where you will find us sinking into the waters of life, the drowning of deception will come at us like a flood. That day Jesus was showing them the paradox of the teacher and the Savior.

God expects us to learn from His word, (The Truth, The Living word of God = The Bible.),

But He went a step further for us, He not only gave us His Son a ransom for our sin. Jesus was an example for us to model after. This life-walks becomes simpler when we put our trust and faith in The King of Kings.

 

Over the years it has been said again and again “I cannot live up to the example Jesus left us.” Nor can I, but there is a huge difference in tying to be him, and allowing Him to work through us. Huge difference man has a serious pride problem, we cannot be Him, we can allow Him to work through us. It’s in doing so that He shines the best. He will change our talk, He will change our walk, He will make our walk match our talk. Then is when we gladly put away the old stuff, why…? .. our focus changes the stuff of the world means so much less to us, we finally see the shackles of the world in full view the focus The Lord arranging the lens in which we see everything from, person experience it’s life changing.

 

For when we were still without strength at just the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous, man will one die, yet perhaps, for a good man someone might dare to die. But God demonstrated His own Love, for us, in that, while we were still sinners Christ died for us.  

 

At about that time is when we grow the best as believers in the True and Living God. Will we make mistakes...?  Will we still sin...? of course we are human For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Until we are joined with The Savior we will unfortunately experience our making mistakes, we will sin, and we are the people, we are the one who puts a measuring stick upon sin. God calls sin, sin. As long as we are in these bodies no matter where we live or where we worship, what we do for others we are humans, perfection is not a reality for us until we will be with The Savior. No matter who judges those word, I am sorry to say, they are faults. We will not be perfect on this ball of dirt, But that’s OK as long as we have a desire to be with Christ we will have an abundance of power within the Word of Christ. The Lord will teach us to become more and more like Him. The twelve were not sinless, God Loves us so much He will take us just the way we are, but too much to leave us that way. Know this we need one another, we were structured that way to help one another Grow in Christ, doing so makes a wonderful experience of this journey, So Lets do that…                                                                

 

 

           

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Where there is injury, pardon;

Where there is doubt, faith;

Where there is despair, hope;

Where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

Grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console;

To be understood, as to understand;

To be loved, as to love;

For it is in giving that we receive,

It is in pardoning that we are Pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life. AMEN.

 

 

 

 

 

Prayer of Saint Francis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Prayer of Saint Francis is a Christian prayer. It is attributed to the 13th-century saint Francis of Assisi, although the prayer in its present form cannot be traced back further than 1912, when it was printed in France in French, in a small spiritual magazine called La Clochette (The Little Bell) as an anonymous prayer, as demonstrated by Dr Christian Renoux in 2001. The prayer has been known in the United States since 1936 and Cardinal Francis Spellman and Senator Hawkes distributed millions of copies of the prayer during and just after World War II.

 

Prayer

Many different versions of the prayer exist. The most popular is the following:

 

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.

An alternate translation is found in Chapter 11 (Page 99) of the "Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions", a book published by Alcoholics Anonymous* World Services, Inc.

 

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace;

that where there is hatred, I may bring love;

that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;

that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;

that where there is error, I may bring truth;

that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;

that where there is despair, I may bring hope;

that where there are shadows, I may bring light;

that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.

Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted;

to understand, than to be understood;

to love, than to be loved.

For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.

It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.

Amen.

The hymn version of Make Me A Channel of Your Peace is an anthem of the Royal British Legion and is usually sung every year at the Service of Remembrance in November at the Royal Albert Hall, London. It goes as follows:

 

Make me a channel of your peace,

Where there is hatred let me bring your love,

Where there is injury your pardon Lord,

And where there's doubt true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace,

Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope,

Where there is darkness, only light,

And where there's sadness, ever joy.

O Master grant that I may never seek,

So much to be consoled as to console,

To be understood as to understand,

To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace,

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

In giving to all men that we receive

And in dying that we are born to eternal life.

 

History

Summarising the Christian Renoux' book on the prayer, an article by Egidio Picucci on the 19-20 January 2009 issue of L'Osservatore Romano says that the earliest record of the prayer is its appearance, as "a beautiful prayer to say during Mass" in the December 1912 number of the small devotional French publication La Clochette, "the bulletin of the League of the Holy Mass". In 1915, Marquis Stanislas de La Rochethulon, president of the Anglo-French association Souvenir Normand, which called itself "a work of peace and justice inspired by the testament of William the Conqueror, who is considered to be the ancestor of all the royal families of Europe", sent this prayer to Pope Benedict XV. The Pope had an Italian translation published on the front page of L'Osservatore Romano of 20 January 1916. It appeared under the heading, "The prayer of Souvenir Normand for peace", and with the explanation: "Souvenir Normand has sent the Holy Father the text of some prayers for peace. We have pleasure in presenting in particular the prayer addressed to the Sacred Heart, inspired by the testament of William the Conqueror". On 28 January 1916, the French newspaper La Croix reprinted, in French, the Osservatore Romano article, with exactly the same heading and explanation. La Rochethulon wrote to the newspaper to clarify that it was not a prayer of Souvenir Normand, but he chose not to mention La Clochette, the first publication in which it had appeared. Because of its appearance on L'Osservatore Romano and La Croix as a prayer for peace during the First World War, this prayer then became widely known.

Psalm 23

The LORD Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David.
 

The LORD is my shepherd;

I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green Pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of The shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever....
