Warm weather ahead, but expected to be shy of record breaking

Wednesday and Thursday will be the warmest days of this most recent stretch of above average weather Southern Manitoba has been enjoying. The general trend of daytime highs being 5 to 10 degrees warmer than usual has been happening for some time now, and will be punctuated by today and tomorrow when temperatures may end up 15 degrees above normal for this time of year.

Averages for the first week of December are -7 daytime and -16 overnight.

A Position We Can’t Fill

Romans 14:13

Each one of us belongs to the same Lord. When we stop dictating, it is easier for others to mature as they follow the Lord's directing.

Freeing others means we never assume a position we're not qualified to fill. This, in one sentence, is enough to stop any person from judging another. We're not qualified. We lack full knowledge.

How often we have jumped to wrong conclusions, made judgmental statements, only to find out later how off base we were...then wished we could cut off our tongue. What keeps us from being qualified to judge?

Verse of the Day: December 6, 2023

John 10:14-15

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.

Prayer Is Private Devotion

Matthew 6:6

Prayer is never something we do to be seen. It loses its whole purpose if it becomes a platform to impress others.

It is a private act of devotion, not a public demonstration of piety. According to Jesus, it belongs in the closet of our lives, an act done in secret.

Christ never saw prayer as pleading or begging or hammering away at the throne of God.

No, the Father knows His children, He knows what we need. Therefore, there is no reason to think that connecting with Him requires special words excessively repeated.

God Is Bigger Than Our Excuses

Isaiah 6:8

We all have excuses to disqualify ourselves from God's service.

"I'm not physically well"

"I've got this temper problem"

"I can't speak very well in public"

"I don't have a lot of education"

"My past is too raunchy!"

"You see, I'm a divorcee"

"I was once in a mental hospital"

And on and on and on.

But God is bigger thananyof those reasons. He specialises in taking bruised, soiled, broken, guilty, and miserable vessels and making them whole, forgiven, and useful again.

Verse of the Day: December 4, 2023

John 8:12

Dispute Over Jesus’ Testimony

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
