We (the average everyday) Christian should know the bible. I often struggle with the quality of my own memeorization of the bible, this video puts it into perspective.

BURING DESIRE
Watch "Sesame Street: Drawing Things Me Love" on YouTube
(Please watch the video 1st)
What is it that you love? If you ever wanted to get Cookie monster's attention or service all you need is what? COOKIES!
That is what he is all about. What about you? Where does your desire lead you? Like Cookie monster, would you go to ruin behind what you love?
I am reminded of Daniel in The Old Testament and Paul in The New Testament. There was only one cookie that could be dangled in from of them. GOD.
I pray we become so singularly focused.

Without God, Zero Chance...
A concept I 1st heard of in the New Testament is also found in the Old...funny how that seems to work out all the time.
Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
51:11 Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy Spirit from me.
51:12 Restore unto me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with a free spirit.
(KJ2000 - sent from CadreBible)
LET'S NOT KID OURSELVES CHILDREN, WE CANNOT MAKE IT WITHOUT GOD.
“For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow." - Bildad the Shuhite from the book of Job
Sometimes we look at the accomplishments of humanity and think we are beyond limits. It is funny how we know that "no one is perfect" and that "everyone is going to die eventually" but that never stops us from allowing pride to puff our heads up.
People who have come to know and love God 1st realize that, despite them many things that mankind can do, we are ultimately fragile and unworthy. Even with this knowledge, we still need constant reminders.
Jesus came that we could surpass our limitations and live a life that is pleasing to the One who created us.

| God helps those who help themselves...don't believe it. |
Sadly, many believe that God helps those who help themselves, but in actuality, He helps those who had no chance of helping themselves.

THE GOOD OLE DAYS?
You ever wonder why people use this term? For the past few years (about five I suppose) I have really disliked the use of the phrase. It wasn't until a recent Saturday that I was listening to this mixtape called "I love the 90's" that I began to understand why we think and use this phrase.
ITS BECAUSE THE WORLD IS GETTING MORE WICKED...
Because things back in 1994 seem better, we look fondly on them.
NOSTALGIA. -noun
1. A wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time. (Among other variations)
But if we are growing in wisdom and understanding under the guidance of God, why should things be worse? If our "yesterday" self is a long road from the blessed present we are experiencing. You know that MIGHTY LONG WAY so many of us claim that God has brought us from.
SO HOW CAN WE TRULY TALK ABOUT THE GOOD OLE DAYS?
Or have we not been changed?

FEAR LESS, FAITH MORE.
Do not be afraid. Why do we fear if we know for sure who's with us. I don't know about you but I'm not going to turn down my help, i desperately need it.
Isaiah 41:10 NASB
'Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,
Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'
