January 10 - Daily Feast
When something in our minds rings a bell that warns us, we do well to listen. What is it that wants to lure us away from the chose path? Is it not from the good side? Then, run like a rabbit! Every one of us has a sounding board, as testing place that detects the way we are moving. Like a compass, it points the right way - and we are foolish not to understand - gohlga. To ignore the impressions that are within us is like trying to go through a door, but refusing to use the doorknob. It is one thing to be dense and another to be willfully determined to get lost in the wilderness. Listen to the alarm system. It is there for a good reason - and later on we won't have to say that something told us not to go a certain way and we didn't listen.

Elder's Meditation of the Day - January 10
"We cannot escape remembering the important things that have happened, and we cannot escape the awareness of the important things that have not happened."
--Ralph Salisbury, CHEROKEE
There is a Master Plan. There are Natural Laws that run the universe. Everything on the earth has a purpose. Change is constant. That which is built is constantly being destroyed. That which is loose is being used to build new things. Nothing can be destroyed, only rearranged. Change will happen and every setback is only temporary. In other words, the Creator is in charge. We are not in charge. He designed the universe. He runs the universe and He will change what needs to be changed. As humans, it is easier for us to participate in all of this if we are spiritual. We need to be tuned in. Therefore, God gave us the spiritual concept of acceptance. When things change, we can change ourselves through the principle of acceptance.
Great Spirit, let me live today in acceptance of Your will. Today let us do it Your way.

'THINK on THESE THINGS' By Joyce Sequichie Hifler
Whenever we stop to consider where we are on the road of life, we might also think about why we are there. Whether it is success or failure, or wavering in the middle of the road, we are where we are because of someone or something.
Nearly every person can pinpoint the time in their life when there was a turning point, a change for worse or for the better. And usually there is someone to whom they give the credit for such a change.
Throughout our lives we contact many people, and they each leave an impression. As living continues the combination of all those thoughts and feelings and actions forms our opinions, our likes and dislikes, our fears and our loves. But there is one basic factor in all of this that turns us one way or other - the individual, the personal self. It is how we take life, what we expect, how we do our daily tasks, where we place our values that makes the difference.
We are born with the right to choose - and whatever we choose there will always be someone there to help us be good or bad. But first, we must give credit where credit is due.
Aho , Amen , e-men .

God's Minute
SO THEN FAITH COMES FROM HEARING, AND HEARING
BY THE WORD OF GOD.
( ROMANS 10:17 *NKJV )
Dear Member's,
Just as our bodies' hunger and thirst, so do our souls.
However our souls need Spiritual food and water. This food
and water may be found in God's Word, the Holy Bible!
FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND POWERFUL,
AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD.
( HEBREWS 4:12 )
However Member's, reading the Bible not only nourishes
our souls, it also helps us deal with everyday problems. We
also gain knowledge and wisdom from God's Word. It even
helps to bring us out of depression, anguish, and
worry as well. What a wonderful book it is! Why not spend
a little time each day reading it? You will find that each page
you read will bring you a little closer to our Heavenly Father,
and what a wonderful journey that is! After all Jesus' said:
"MY MOTHER AND MY BROTHERS ARE THESE WHO
HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND DO IT."
( Luke 8:21 )
SO NOW, BRETHERN, I COMMEND YOU TO GOD AND
TO THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, WHICH IS ABLE TO BUILD
YOU UP AND GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE AMONG ALL
THOSE WHO ARE SANCTIFIED. Aho , Amen , e-men .
( ACTS 20:32-33 )
In HIS Love & Service,
Pastor CougarMoon
