On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

John MacArthur was talking about how Romans 12 starting with verse 9 outlines the commandments for living a Christian life.

9Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
 
10Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
 
11Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
 
12Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
 
13Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
 
14Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
 
15Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
 
16Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
 
17Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
 
18If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
 
19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
 
20Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
 
21Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
 
I was browsing Facebook and came across this verse and this verse speaks to my entry of yesterday:
 
I wait for the lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. - Psalm 130:5
 
My heart is smiling. :)
