Thursday 2/11/10 Romans Chapter 8

The last couple of days have been interesting... At work the kids really loved have the Arizona Coyotes there.  It was 3 guys from the organization that did hockey clinics and promoted the Coyotes.  It was something out of the normal and the kids loved it.  I saw every student(700+) in the school in 2 days.  I am exhausted.  Plus I have been dealing with some stuff in my personal life.  The suicide of an acquaintance that used to be a youth leader at our church and went on to be a youth directer at another church,  has brought up alot of old feeling of when my cousin committed suicide.  And last night at church brought up some heavy stuff for some of the kids.  And then there is the normal stuff to deal with at my house with 2 teenagers in the house...  Life really throws some stuff at us that can be tough to deal with that is why I am so glad that I am a believer in Jesus Christ and I can cast my cares on Him and know that I don't have to deal with it.  I can give it to Him.  The hard part is not taking it back and trying to deal with it myself...

Chapter 8:

5........"but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires".

6"The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace"  I choose life and peace!!

14 "because those whos are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God"  What are you being led by??

18 This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning... "I consider that our present suffering are not worth comparing with the glory  that will be revealed in us."

26 "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express." So many times I have not known what to pray for and I am so glad to know that the "Spirit" will help with that... and then at the the of 27 we are reminded that the "Spirit intercedes with fht esaints in accordance with God's will"

28 Now here is good news!!  "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, wha have been called according to His purpose."

37-39 compares alot of drastics...you can do your own comparing... good vs bad things that has happened to you or around you...  the hope is in the last verse..... READ IT AND BELIEVE IT IS FOR YOU!!  "anything or nothing else in all creation, will be able to separete us from the love of God, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord"   Know that you are loved! and that nothing is to great to separate you from the love of God...
