That Smells Good
June 9, 2023 #373    

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:17 NKJV - "If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?"

Listen

Scripture: Isaiah 30:21 NKJV - "Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left."

Your Mind’s Eye

Sleeping

Second Nature
June 4, 2023 #368    

Scripture: Romans 7:15 NKJV - "For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do."

Rule Over the Earth
June 2, 2023 #367    

Scripture: Psalm 104:24 NKJV - "O LORD, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions--"

The First People

Rest
May 31, 2023 #366    

Scripture: Proverbs 17:14 NKJV - "The beginning of strife is like releasing water; Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts."

I’ll Scratch Your Back
May 29, 2023 #363    

Scripture: Matthew 5:41 NKJV - "And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two."

Blind as a Bat
May 28, 2023 #362    

Scripture: Isaiah 42:16 NKJV - "I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, And not forsake them."

Scripture: Proverbs 2:9 NKJV - "Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path."

A Nose Above the Rest

Wild

Scripture: Isaiah 43:20 NKJV - "The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen."
God's Big Idea: God made diverse animals, the wild animals don’t need our care and sometimes they are scare to us, but one day they will all live in harmony with each other and us. God is so good to all His creation.
Caught in a Web
May 22, 2023 #357    

Scripture: Isaiah 59:5 NKJV - "They hatch vipers' eggs and weave the spider's web; He who eats of their eggs dies, And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out."

Scripture: Isaiah 1:18 NKJV - "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool."

Watch the Ants
May 19, 2023 #355    

Scripture: Proverbs 6:6 NKJV - "Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,"

Go watch the ants! What can you do to keep busy? Can you help someone in your family, do a chore, do an act of kindness, try a hobby or just explore the world outside…there’s always something you can do.
Busy as a Bee
May 18, 2023 #354

Moth Holes
May 17, 2023 #353    

Scripture: Matthew 6:20 NKJV - ""but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal."
God's Big Idea: Your heart will be where your treasure is. If you value clothes, things, and money you will not find fulfilling happiness and eventually those things will go away to ruin but if your value Heaven more you will store up things like kindness, love, and character.
Metamorphosis
May 16, 2023 #352    

Scripture: Matthew 28:6 NKJV - ""He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."

Payback
May 14, 2023 #350    

Scripture: Luke 6:29 NKJV - ""To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either."
God's Big Idea: It takes two people to fight. If you just turn the other cheek and walk away it will be acting as Jesus would want us too. Pay back and revenge is not how Jesus would act.
MYOB?
May 12, 2023 #349    

Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1 NKJV - "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,"

Scripture: Ephesians 6:10 NKJV - "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."

Not What It Seems
May 10, 2023 #346    

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:7 NKJV - "Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified."

New Skin
May 9, 2023 #346    

Scripture: Colossians 3:9 NKJV - "Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds,"
God's Big Idea: When we decide to follow Jesus , we leave our old life behind—like a snake crawling out of it’s old skin.
Away In the Manger
May 8, 2023 #345    

Scripture: "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;"
God's Big Idea: It may seem strange that some animals were present at the birth of Jesus in the stable. But He is the creator of all things. He is the one who created them and cares greatly for them… It is only fitting that some should be there at His birth.
Ruminate
May 7, 2023 #344    

Scripture: Isaiah 63:14 NKJV - "As a beast goes down into the valley, And the Spirit of the LORD causes him to rest, So You lead Your people, To make Yourself a glorious name."
God's Big Idea: We should avoid mistakes and we can do this by thinking before we act.
Sheep
May 5, 2023 #343    

Scripture: Matthew 9:36 NKJV - "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd."

Discriminating
May 4, 2023 #342

Turn an Ear
May 3, 2023 #341    

Scripture: Psalm 116:2 NKJV - "Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live."

Purr
May 2, 2023 #340    

Scripture: Hebrews 13:5 NKJV - "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you.""

Taking Baths
May 1, 2023 #339
