7:1-2 Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgement you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
When I first became a Christian God pressed this deep into me. I still haven't got it 20 years later I still judge, my husband most likely the most. Often got this spinning in my head; I wouldn't do it that way. Do I what God to judge me so harshly of course not. Lord please help me to lay every thought at your feet  and to think of others with love not judgement or criticism. In Jesus Name Amen.

I really struggled in the last few weeks to find something to comment on, but I am still with you ladies daily.

S Mat 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.
O All those who are called are His people.
A How greatful I am to be have been called by Him and saved from my filthy sins. Never worthy but                                              forever grateful.
P Thankyou sweet Lord for the greatest gift. In Jesus name Amen.

Ex 22:14 If a man borrows anything from his neighbour, and it is injured or dies while the owner is not with it, he shall make full restitution. If the owner is with it he shall not make restitution; if it is hired, it came for its hire.
I believe God wanted the IsraelitIies to take full responsibility for others possession which have be interested in to their care. We also must do the same. If I damage another's property I am responsible to make a mends for it. Especially as an ambassador of Christ, to behave in a manor that is worthy of the gospel. Php 1:27 " Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, "(first section).

Chapter 17
Still complaining, pllar of cloud in the day, pilar of fire at night, brids for meat and mama. And still complaing to a man to fix their problem; no water. It's not like God is not with them and looking after them, so they turn to a man to fix their problems. Where is the prayer and then the trust it's not like God has not proven how reliable He is.

But when I read this I must examine myself. When I am in need who do I ask first, sadly I have to admit many times I turn to a person instead for He who has my life in His hands. Is it because I can see, hear or touch a person?  But I know that it is He who has brought me out of a life of destruction, misery and hopelessness, and it is only Him I can truly expect to help me. I must change my thinking as the Israelities needed to change theirs. 

Ex14:9-1213 The Egyptians are coming down fast on the Israelites and they beging to freak out. They say to Moses "Because they are no graves in Eygpt you have brought us out into the wilderness to die. It would be better to serve the Eygptians than to die in the wilderness". Moses calms the people with truth that the Lord is their salvation and after today you will no longer see the Eygptians. (paraphase mine)

There is only one option for fear and concern, that is to turn to the LORD. His word is truth, His promises are the only thing we can truly rely on.

Psalm 121
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains,
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The Lord will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever. (NASB) 

Ah what sweet balm to any worries.
