I was just thinking about being able to play basketball as well as I could when I was younger. The twists, the spins, the ability to dunk....I'm 44. A pro can't play at that level at this age, but does that stop me, no. SO do I go out and play like crazy and get good again, no. Why? It hurts, it hurts real bad all over. Some of it because I played 6-8 hours a day some days. Some of it no matter how much I work out, it won't go away. (Though I do believe in miraculous healings, which I believe God will heal me)
It’s just neat to believe I can still do it. I can still get up there, I can still beat the best of them. Even if in reality I worked like mad to get there again, wherever there is, and still couldn’t do it, I think I can. I believe I could. And why not?
With God all things are possible right?
I believe they are.

His Word is true
What does God say about us, and do we believe it? Are His Words all the way true? Jesus is The Word of God, John chapter 1, He was in the beginning, and He is the Word. He also says of Himself; "I AM The Way, The Truth, and The Life..." (John 14:6) So he calls our bodies the temple of the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor 6:19) If I live like I am my own, then I am calling God a liar. I must live according to His words and not the words of my own, they are not good enough, and may not even be true.
Imagine if you knew of a house that was built by God, can you imagine how cool that house would be, and how many people would want to go see it? Then imagine that same house being lived in by God, WOW, what would that be like, I'd go see it!
THAT'S YOU!!! You are that house of God, He dwells in you!!!
But do I treat my body as if it weren't mine, and were really His? NO!
"Lord, this body is Yours, it's all yours, it's NONE mine. I give it to you, as well as the rest of my life, my thoughts, my emotions, my everything, I gladly give to you, in Jesus name!
Some scriptures:"Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments. Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful." (Psalm 119:137-138)
Nehemiah 9:8b "...You have performed Your words, because You are righteous."

I have food you know not of
I have food that you know not of...My food is to do the will of My Father...I love those two verses. WHat's my food; chips, salsa...TV,. WHat do I feed on? What's important to me? WHat's on my plate?
"Lord help my food to be to do the will of my Father, in Jesus name! John 4

No more boasting!
James 4:13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will[g] go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
How many of us would ever say a year from now...or longer, I know I have ! Are our words important? Do they reflect our Lord, or our pride? Do we think it boastful to say a year from now we will do this or that?
"Lord help us to see the way You do, help our minds to be renewed by Your Words, and not any of this world or the things of this world, in Jesus Name, amen."
