Cool Stuff & A Verse in God's Word

Morning friends,

Yes, I'm up late; had some coffee plus a nap so I screwed myself up tonight/this morning. Anyways, I was reading in Luke 11 this morning and it was pretty cool how The Message translation puts the Lord's Prayer, and the seek and knock passage. Here's the Lord's Prayer: "Father, reveal who you are. Set the world right. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.". Pretty cool eh? I think so. Here's the seek, knock passage: "Ask and you'll get; Seek and you'll find; Knock and the door will open." Plain and simple when you look/examine it over closely. After that it says to be direct with God, ask for what you need. So simple yet, I sure don't do that at times. At the end of that section it hit me where if you ask God to give you the Holy Spirit He will. I know I have it yet, it wouldn't hurt to get filled again or have a brighter/bigger filling of it. Lord give me more/fill me up/make my heart burn with the Holy Spirit. Amen.

A bit later Luke talks about your light and letting it shine. Check this out: "Keep your life as well-lighted as your best-lighted room." I love that verse there; it's verse 36. Overall good plus some convicting there and I'm glad that the Lord showed me some things plus I'm conscious enough to grasp it. Blessings all; sleep for me now.
