Important truth– “He who listens to a life-giving rebukewill be at home among the wise.
He who ignores discipline despises himself,
but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.” (Proverbs 15:31-32) -
I thought this site was helpful in understanding this rebuke… http://www.jesuswalk.com/lessons/9_37-56.htm#.VYTTSVqBXy0.mailto

Question:
How are people taking/ interpreting is verse:41 Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
Especially the “bear with you” part. Does that seem a little harsh? I just want to know how others see it

9 “And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever..
This reminded me of when David was chosen..the Lord doesn’t look at the things people do, he looks at our hearts. I like that this comes up again with Solomon being chosen. Something for us to remember every day! -
What stood out to me today was the end of the Luke passage where the disciples don’t understand what Jesus said and were afraid to ask Him about it. I wonder why the were afraid to ask, but then I think that sometimes I’m afraid to ask God things too. Why are we afraid to ask? Because we don’t know the answer, because we do and don’t like the answer? My take away is that we should not be afraid to come before God and ask Him things because, no matter what the outcome, it’s all part of His plan.

14“But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
Nothing we have is our own, everything we have is the gift of God. Yet he delights when we are generous in giving back what is entrusted to us! I think of children giving their parents gifts that the parents themselves provided the money for. what joy!-
This was a passage we talked about in our small group last night! I’ve been challenged to identify what I’m giving reluctantly, or where my attitude could be better to give freely. Also to remember where all our gifts are from! A verse I’ve read often but am challenged by in a new way!

Yes! Our pastor preached on this last weekend. The money we have isn’t ours, it’s God’s. We just manage it while we’re here on earth. He tells us what to do with 10% of it and we get to be good stewards with the rest of it. When you look at it that way and acknowledge that it’s all really His, it’s so much easier to be truly obedient!

I was struck by this idea of our offerings are really returning to God, His gifts. My Church has been collecting for capital improvements, and I have rejoiced in seeing the generous care and giving our congregation has shared. This passage makes me that much more cheerful in my offerings, remembering where our wealth really comes from!

20 Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished. These are the words Moses said to Joshua. Be strong and courageous. Though he may be young God had chosen him yo do great things. Let us all be strong and courageous to do the work God planned for us.

This passage stood out to me today too! Be strong and courageous and do the work! Run the race and fight the good fight! God knew I needed this encouragement today. Thank You Jesus for knowing our hearts.

The prayer of thanksgiving of David… His offerings to the Lord.. His desire for God’s temple to be glorious and majestic! to reflect the majesty of God…. all of these clearly shows David’s Heart! Despite his imperfections, his heart is completely all out and sold out for the Lord!
I love how the Bible described the end of David’s life… He finished well! David, a Man After God’s Own Heart — Lived in Faith and Died in Faith in the The One True God! May those words be also written in my tombstone when I go home to the arms of my Savior!
