6.30.10

2 Kings 17-18:12

187 The LORD was with him; he prospered wherever he went. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.

John - Throughout scripture if the Lord was with someone...they PROSPERED.. (to have insight, have comprehension) and today we often don't think clearly about what the Lord is responding to what we do...

Acts 20:1-38

2024 But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

John - Paul could say with assurance "none of these things move me" nor "do I count my life dear to myself" these statements show Paul did not "POSSESS" his own life, he had given it away, we must do the same.

Psalm 148:1-14
Proverbs 18:6-7

186 A fool’s lips enter into contention,
And his mouth calls for blows.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction,
And his lips are the snare of his soul.

John - a fools words are a snare to HIS OWN SOUL (mind, will and emotions) and his mouth IS his undoing.
