Horseshoes and Hand Grenades - March 2, 2010

Daily Reading

Daily Verse
He warned the assembly,
"Move back from the tents of these wicked men!
Do not touch anything belonging to them,
or you will be swept away because of all their sins."
Numbers 16:26

Daily Thought

Harry Truman (not the president) was in his cabin when Mt. St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. For two months the mountain rumbled. For two months they told Harry to move.

"The danger is overexaggerated," Harry determined.

It wasn't. He died.

Then the LORD rumbled, "Say to the assembly, 'Move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. Move back from the tents of these wicked men!'"

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades...

...and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, with their households and all Korah's men and all their possessions.

...and volcanoes and wickedness. Get away!

To God's Glory,
Dave

Daily Prayer

Holy God, Your ways are perfect. Teach us to follow them. God may we have hearts that love You, love Your ways, and love righteousness. May we have hearts that hate wickedness.

God, teach us not to flirt with sin. May we be convinced of its destruction and flee from it. Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- may those things consume our thoughts and fill our desires.

Amen
