PARABLE:  
After finding an address I'd jotted down in my previous 400 pg journal, # 25, I flipped thu pages & read notes from the ALIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL in Ohio this past June 18th.

Found a giant squashed mosquito body in crease between pages 16 & 17... guess that describes part of the experience.. before the drenching rains came! Dug a bit deeper, studied the words of speaker Matt Chandler. He said
about Father God, described in Romans 8:15, 
" 'Abba' is more than just 'Daddy'
'Abba' is My dad can beat up your dad!... It's 
Look at  MY Dad -- HE created the Universe! .... It's 
My Dad LOVES me... 
my Dad will TAKE CARE of me
 and PROTECT me!"....... 

Pretty cool scripture study. Glad that mosquito didn't call for God's help.

SO WHAT ??
Psalm 147:  In the middle of telling how HE HEALS THE BROKEN-HEARTED,
God prompts the Psalmist to SUDDENLY write about this Fatherly God:
He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.              Click Here for Scripture Link
That's YOU   if the next verses describe you!  >>
5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.

The LORD lifts up the humble

What does LORD God say ??   ROMANS 15:
13   For if you live according to the flesh you will die;
         but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.  
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
                                  [WHO FOLLOW HIM as their LORD],
       these are sons of God.  
15  For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, 
     but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 
        “Abba, Father.”  
16  The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that
          we are children of God,  
17 and if children, then heirs—
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
From Suffering to Glory
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Highway Billboard Goofs FACEBOOK PARABLE - by DianaDee Osborne

Highway Billboard Goofs PARABLE

PARABLE:  
Travel Trivia: AFTER paying up to $1,000 for graphics co's design & production,
rent is $75-$200 per month for a countryside highway---
or $900-$2,500 for city one.
Whoever installed a NC billboard is probably in BIG trouble (pun intended):
MANY wrinkles.
YET: The message of the creator is EASY to read...
And God tells us the same:
His Grace is sufficient THRU our weakness to get His message through:
Using us even though we're weak, imperfect.

What does LORD God say ??    2nd Corinthians 12:9 
                                                     CLICK HERE FOR SCRIPTURE LINK
 "[God] said unto me, 'My grace is sufficient for thee: 
for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' 
Most gladly therefore will I   [Paul is writing]  rather 
glory in   [be glad, trusting God about]  my infirmities  [lack of skills, IQ, etc]
THAT the power of CHRIST may rest upon me." 

God says something very similar in Ephesians 3:20-21.      SCRIPTURE LINK  
"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think...."

SO WHAT ??
1.  We canNOT be pride-filled when we remember that what we do is
ONLY by God's power!  It's EXCITING to miss that temptation!
We can far more easily LAUGH at Satan's temptations to be proud 
when we remember that ONLY by God's power are our works & speaking "unwrinkled." 
For His Glory... Verse 21.
2.  God declares that we ARE to be without wrinkles, in His empowering...
Ephesians 5:27, "that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, 
not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, 
but that she should be holy and without blemish."
               (Jude 1:12, "These are SPOTS in your love feasts, 
               while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves.")
THIS IS BASED ON GOD'S COMMANDS in  Leviticus 21 that His sacrifices
be perfect.... - INTERESTING LINK -  and WE are to give ourselves to Him
as our sacrifice...   ROMANS 12:1,
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you 
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy  [set apart], 
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Psalm 56:4  
"I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good!"
