No show…just do it…

 No show….just do it…

I like to make lists….” To do lists”, mailing lists, birthday lists, packing lists, traveling needs lists, gift lists…I am not obsessed with them, but, for me, they make life easier….and recently, I received from my accountant, “ the tax list”- information I must gather so that my taxes are done correctly and in order…(it makes his life easier)…

Reading through Matthew and Luke 6, you can almost bullet a list of do’s and dont’s, not in a legalistic way, but heart attitudes that are pleasing to God…when examining motives or attitudes of actions…

There used to be the saying, “ what would Jesus do”…we saw it on bracelets, tee shirts, bumper stickers, etc…but the key is, not only what would Jesus do, but what is His Spirit teaching us to do…what is our heart attitude before God and man…and how does that play out…

Thank YOU…teach me to listen and obey….

 And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. 

Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. 

The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. 

Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.

Luke.6.31,Luke.6.36,45,Luke.6.47-48

 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 

But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. 

And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. 

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 

For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. 

Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matt.6.3-4,Matt.6.6,Matt.6.17-18,Matt.6.20,Matt.6.21,Matt.6.25,Matt.6.32-34

When we walk with the Lord…

1 When we walk with the Lord

  In the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way;

  While we do His good will,

  He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain Trust and obey,

For there’s no other way

To be happy in Jesus,

  But to trust and obey.

2 Not a shadow can rise,

  Not a cloud in the skies,

But His smile quickly drives it away;

  Not a doubt or a fear,

  Not a sigh or a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey.

3 Not a burden we bear,

  Not a sorrow we share,

But our toil He doth richly repay;

  Not a grief or a loss,

  Not a frown or a cross,

But is blest if we trust and obey.

4 But we never can prove

  The delights of His love,

Until all on the altar we lay;

  For the favor He shows,

  And the joy He bestows,

Are for them who will trust and obey.

5 Then in fellowship sweet

  We will sit at His feet,

Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;

  What He says we will do;

  Where He sends, we will go,

Never fear, only trust and obey.
