The Cornerstone

This is for 6/16/17                    rebeccacreates2012@gmail.com

Dear God,

     First of all I must apologize for being absent for a couple days...Life happens!  Not excuse, just my reality.

     The cornerstone....do you know what a corner stone is, it is a pivotal stone, without which the building would collapse. Some synonyms for this are foundation, keystone, bedrock, backbone, key, heart, and center.  Christ is sometimes referred to as the Cornerstone.  
Isn't this a perfect example of a cornerstone!  I love it!
Thank you Jesus for showing this amazing example of you.

You are such a wondrous God. You fill us with awe and inspiration constantly, if we are just open to seeing, hearing, and feeling you.  Thank you Jesus!

This morning we are doing the last day of last week, which was 6/16/17 we are to read Matthew 16:13-18 and Acts 4:1-13.
The SOAP portion is Matthew 16:18 and Acts 4:13.

S ~ Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

O ~ A wait a moment, didn't we just speak of Peter denying Christ? Peter was human...he must have felt like he was on top of the world when Christ said this to him, and yet it's later that Peter denies Christ.  No wonder he went out and cried, can you imagine, it was probably one of those cries that completely racks the body.  Such insurmountable sadness he must have felt.  Holy Spirit just spoke to me saying, "What I felt, was so much worse than what Peter felt, but I did for all of you."  

A ~ Oh Jesus I am so sorry for any and all of the times I have made you sad. This is the only way to apply this.  We must fix it!

P ~ Jesus you are so good to us, far great than we could possibly deserve, and I thank you for all the blessings you constantly shower on us.  Thank you Daddy.  I feel so unworthy at the moment, I have much to be sorrowful about, and I pray Father that you will forgive me of my sins, for they are great.  In Jesus most precious name I ask this. Amen.

S ~ Now the second soap is Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

O ~ Can you imagine opening your mouth and having words come out and then you think back and marvel at what you spoke?  That is what must have happened with Peter and John.  Because they weren't speaking Holy Spirit was speaking thru them.

A ~ If we too simply ask the Holy Spirit to work thru us and speak thru us the same thing can happen for us.

P ~ Oh Jesus as I close this out for the moment I pray that all who have ears, let them hear, and all those who have mouths let them speak.  But help us to hear and to speak the words of the Trinity, words of Christ, words of the Father and words of the Holy Spirit.  In your precious name I pray, Amen...
