Day by Day

Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find, to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best—
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.


Every day, the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
He Whose Name is Counselor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then in every tribulation
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till I reach the promised land.

IF Rudyard Kipling

IF..... Rudyard Kipling

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

LOGOS AND RHEMA Gracemail

LOGOS AND RHEMA

A gracEmail subscriber writes: "I have heard that the written word of God (Greek: logos) becomes the living and active word of God (Greek: rhema) only after we take it into our soul and translate it into life. Is that distinction valid?"


* * *
Two Greek words are translated "word" in the New Testament: logos (218 times) and rhema (56 times). Our word "logical" comes from the Greek word logos, as does the English suffix "-ology." Our words "rhetoric" and "orator" are kin to the Greek word rhema.

Knowing that, you will not be surprised to learn that logos emphasizes a word's rational origin in the mind (whether the word is written or spoken), while rhema refers to a word actually spoken. If you think about something and then say it, what you say is both logos (the expression of your thought) and also rhema (voiced by your vocal cords). That is the root difference between these two Greek words for "word."

You ask whether logos becomes rhema only after being taken into our lives and lived out. That is not in the meaning of the words themselves. However, it is true that God's word/message (whether written or spoken) becomes effective for us personally only when we receive it with meekness, digest it with faith, and make it a part of our lives (Heb. 4:2). (By the way, when Hebrews 4:12 says that God's "word" is living and active, the author uses logos rather than rhema).

THE VIEW FROM HERE our apartment

Enough for today

I may want more,
but I have enough for today.
I have enough money,
enough energy and time,
To obey God for one day.

I am educated enough.
I am smart enough.
I am healthy and strong enough
To do all that he asks me today.

I am free enough.
Old and young enough.
Supported and encouraged enough.
Settled down and backed up enough.

I am good enough.
Humble enough and proud enough.
I am in the right place
At the right time
Here and now.
I can obey God today.

The day is long enough,
The wether is good enough,
No excuses.
I can obey God
For Today.
And that is all that matters.

My adequacy is from Christ.
There is nothing God can not do.
I can do all things through Him.
Amen

THE BIG ONE

One of the stones was so large and lovely the doctors wanted to exhibit it in the lobby.

The two by the ruler are the latest in the fmaily, arriving the last week of December.
