Matthew 23-24

Angie's Thoughts

Matthew 23:12 "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles
himself will be exalted."

I've had a fair dosage of this one. It seems that whenever I let anything get to my head I end up making an idiot of myself. So I've certainly learned to keep myself humble.

And that's the only logical thing to do when our gifts and achievements our God's too.. for He gave us our gifts and uses them as tools to achieve things important to Him. We can be proud of ourselves.. but we must never let things get to our heads.. because that leads us to look down on others.. which can lead us to not serving others as we should which is of course what we are called to do.

alright. Goodnight everyone, and make sure you pray for Nikke's step dad, Jim. He has cancer.

Nikke's thoughts

24:44 "So you must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

This verse really stuck out to me amongst all the others.
Jesus us talking to the disciples about how He will come back when they least expect it.
This makes me really take a look at myself and how I act around my friends and family. Am I showing Jesus in all I do? Am I a good representation of Jesus?
I certainly try to be, however, I am human and I stumble often. It is here that I learn humbleness and the act of asking for forgiveness from others for my actions.

I always wonder what it will look like when Jesus comes back. Everyone has their opinions about pre and post tribulation. I don't. (well I guess I do in the sense that I don't) LOL
I don't really think it matters since I know where I am going.
I think it is interesting how some things we will never know until we get to heaven and find out.
My mind will be buzzing until then. =D
