In God's Time

Pray for God's blessing on myself and others - pray that I may allow him to pursue in his own time and his own Way.
Deuteronomy 6:4-7 - 4Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
The promise is in faith and assurance
apathetic, atheists, and agnostics - The apathetic do not acknowledge God either.  They do not seek him out although they may be aware of Him. 
Romans 9:1-5
Matthew 23:3737 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.
Paul grieves over resistance to Jesus.  His grief is real, intense, sacrificial, and acute.  
Take that visual of the chicken protecting her young.  God does this for us.  

The notes section: 
Looking back at notes, was there anything that caught my attention, challenged or confused you?

Digging Deeper: 
Paul takes a vow in Romans 9:1 that he has grief for those separated from Jesus. Why is grief the only attitude toward unbelief that is consistent with faith? 
He describes the intensity of grief:  "great sorrow and unceasing anguish"

CATEGORY ONE: The Miraculous Gifts, generally known today as Charismatic Gifts (apostles, tongues, interpretation of tongues, healing, and miracles). CATEGORY TWO: The Enabling Gifts, which all Christians have the ability to develop (faith, discernment, wisdom, and knowledge -- qualities possessed rather than activities performed). Many scholars combine these gifts with others, based on the similarity of these gift characteristics and the synonyms used by Paul to describe them in ...

Romans 9:6-13

How did God rescue me?  How am I different? 2 timothy 2:24,25 -  24  And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.   25  Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth Ephesians 2:1,5 John 6:65 What kind of attitude am I bringing God today?  Problem:  Contradiction vs apparent contradiction (dog at vet example - dog thinks it's just awful and that it is forsaken.  another example he made was light particles vs light waves.  They are both light but we don't understand it.   Have confidence that evangelism will work, and give God all the credit.   God's love is unmerited favor.   2  As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 5  made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions —it is by grace you have been saved. 65  He went on to say,...
