Benny's Bite Out of the Big Apple

-

It was Benny's first time in the Big Apple, and didn't know how to act. 

As he rushed out of the airport, boy did he see a long line of yellow cabs lined up all over the place. 

Sticking his fingers in his mouth, he blew really hard to whistle. 

Up pulled a cabbie named Orin in a brand new bright yellow cab. 

Benny said I'd like to go to 361 Crossroads Lane. 

Can you get me there? 

Orin said sure. 

Hop on in.

We'll be there in a minute. 

While Benny sat gazing at all those sights, he notice Orin missing his turn. 

Without thinking, Benny grabbed Orin on the shoulder, but Orin went crazy. 

As Benny lunged forward he grabbed the wheel as he fought Orin off as he was being bitten, scratched, and hit. 

With one hand on the wheel and another in the glove box, Benny looked for Orin's seizure medicine. 

When Orin finally did calm down, Benny said what just happened? I'm sure sorry that I touched you. 

Orin said no problem, but I've been driving for a funeral parlor for 15 years, and for a moment I just forgot where I was. 

When you touched me, I thought that you might be a zombie. 

I've never been grabbed by a customer before.

The Night's Sky

Psalm 19:9B-11 (NLT) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made.  One day tells a story to the next. One night shares knowledge with the next without talking,without words, without their voices being heard.  Yet, their sound has gone out into the entire world, their message to the ends of the earth. Psalm 19:1-4A (GW) When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place— what are mere mortals that you should think about them,human beings that you should care for them?  Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made,putting all things under their authority—Psalm 8:3-6 (NLT) You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me.  You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts.  You notice everything ...

Too earthly minded. No heavenly good.

"Pursue the things over which Christ presides.  Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you.  Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that's where the action is.  See things from his perspective. (Col. 3:2 MSG)" Reality includes a loving God who is watching you and over you in heaven. When you forget that fact, that's when the problems within your temporal world delude your life.  If you don't walk in this truth, it is a symptom of unbelief, and pulls you out of a right relationship with God.  Here's a way to determine if your walking in faith or unbelief.  Ask am I thinking from heaven to earth, or from earth to heaven?

Silence in my Soul

The Speech of Elihu 32  So the three men stopped answering Job, because he thought he was right.  Lord, give me wisdom to reach the unreachable.  Make me teachable. 2  But Elihu the Buzite was very angry with Job. That’s  because  Job said he himself was right instead of God.   Lord, reveal my arrogance and remove it  from me.  Elihu was the son of Barakel. He was from the family of Ram.  Lord, help me control my anger unless it's for the right reasons. May I never think myself wiser than you.  You are right and I am not.  No matter what my situation tells me.        3  Elihu was also very angry with Job’s three friends.  They hadn’t found any way to prove that Job was wrong. But they still said he was guilty.   4  Elihu had waited before he spoke to Job.  That’s because the others were older than he was.   5...
