GODS' OVEN!

MONDAY! What a wonderful morning, waking up to a cool , a slight breeze, the night bugs still crying out to be heard,,,, the darkness fills the void,, and you can just feel God all around you.. and just as in the daylight,,,, if you will really, really look, and feel,, you will see Him, and feel Him,,, and as we drank our coffee,,, we offered our, again , thanks for the day to our God! Who did you wake up with and who did you thank for your all,, this day? Prayer Request: From Lori,,, Please pray for a co-worker who was taken to the ER Sunday and is now in ICU undergoing dialysis for kidney failure, severe chest congestion, high blood pressure and water in the lungs. He is a young father of 3 and a great young man who really needs all the hope and prayers we can give at this time. Thank you so much and God Bless everyone!!! GODS OVEN!!! We all have or know what an oven is,, right? Well, we had one when I was a kid, and it ran on natural fuel,, wood,, and it had to be cut, split , and brought in, then after the wood was laid for lighting, (with lighter,older wood)then it was lite! And the Mom would start the breakfast meal, and in our house, all was natural,, home grown,,, and a feast, the smell could be smelled as the ole saying goes , a country mile away! Then of course the gas, the electric, and now the Micro-wave ovens are a "dime a dozen",,, children of today, knows of no "just a fireplace, or just a heater" to cook on, and folks , I have seen my Mom cook biscuits on the top of a wood and coal heater! Even our little girls had their little "bake ovens"! Now, I heard a young man speak on a famous recorded show...he had a speech impediment, did a great job in making himself understood! As he spoke , he gave the greatest conviction of His God, and the saving power of Jesus... and smiled as he slowly spoke to make sure all his words were understand, yet his speech impediment was still showing ,, he made you forget it was there, by his testimony! Everyone was watching, and listening with a special smile upon their faces, not of pity ,but of how he was giving the message of God,,, then as he started to sing,, he still had that speech, but he did great, and the audience finally joined in, and as he finished,,, he made this statement... "folks, for those saved, I will see you all in Heaven,, and when you see me, you will understand me perfectly,, for all is perfect in Heaven,, and my words will be so perfect, I will not miss a word,,,for you see, there is nothing wrong with me right now with my speech, YOU SEE,,,,,, I AM STILL IN GODS' OVEN,, AND HE IS FINISHING BAKING ME!,,,, AND WHEN FINISHED, ON TO HEAVEN AS PERFECT AS HE!!! AND YOU? I was moved as to how he saw himself, and this life, and he is right,, we are just molded , given the chance to make a choice of how we bake up in His oven ,,and it is our choice to make, of how we come out,,, firmly brown and risen to God's heaven, cooked just right,,, for those who have accepted him,,,, or we make the choice of the treasures here,,and we are burned,, fall flat and we then we fall into hell! God give us all the right "bake Your way", and may we all set their ovens on the dial of Jesus, and rise to You in that time,, amen John HIcks Have a great God's day to all!
