BOBBEE BEE: THE MID-WAY POINT

"The strength of the laborers is giving out." Ne 4:10 NIV

EARLY MORNING SUNDAY SCOOL LESSON
The story of Nehemiah highlights four major sources of discouragement. Lets look at the first of them: Fatigue. The people in Judah said "The strength of the laborers is giving out." Ne 4:10 NIV...

In other words, they'd worked themselves to exhaustion. They were out physically, mentally, and emotionally. Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that discouragement is strictly a spiritual problem. We say, "Maybe I need to recommit myself to the Most High," when in fact the real problem is we're burned out. We need rest and renewal. Indeed, sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is relax, or go to bed, or take some time off. When do fatigue and discouragement Surface?

Look at verse six: "So we rebuilt the wall until all of it reached half of its height." Do you know when you're most apt to get discouraged? When you're halfway into a project!!

Everybody works hard at first. The Bible says the people, worked wit all their heart. Why? Because of the newness of the project. It was exciting and novel, but after the newness wore off and the work to boring, Life settled into a routine, then a ritual. Be careful: When fatigue walks in, faith walks out! That's why the Psalmist said: He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me besides quiet waters, He stores my soul (Ps 23:2-3 NIV)

Fatigue is one of the biggest causes of discouragement, and it often shows up about midpoint. Its why we leave so many projects unfinished. Bottom line: If you need time off, take it!!

That's way there is a halftime in football. It is time which allows the players to rest and regroup, while the coaching staff tries to make adjustments to their previous strategies made before the game after data is collected on the field.

That's why the midpoint is the most important part of an NFL season. Because, Week number 8 is when the season really starts. Because, it will determine whether you make the playoffs or make a run for the Super Bowl. or not.

So, relax Browns fans, Dolphins fans, Chiefs fans, Rams fans, and Steelers fans. We are only in week 4. (Source:The Word For Today) See More

We knew it was coming. But, we, just didn't know when.
Unfortunately, the day came before we were prepared. Because, East Carolina finally fired 40-year-old , head coach Scottie Montgomery, who posted a (9-26) overall record while in Greensville for the past three seasons, which included a disappointing 4-20 mark in the American Athletic Conference

BOBBEE BEE: THE ARTIST

"I discipline my body and bring it into subjection" 1 Co 9:27 (NKJV)

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR TODAY


Artists not only love beauty and see it in places others don't, they're uniquely gifted to create it. They express their individuality in bold ways that enrich us all. They bring color and flair to a world that would otherwise be drab. But since none of us can live in the ideal world of our imagination, artists are sometimes all equipped to live in the real world with ...its problems and pressures. The same sensitivity that makes them creative often enslaves them to emotional swings that put people off, and ends up destroying the artist himself. (From Michael Jackson to Prince, the history books tell the story.)

The biblical character King David was artistic. He was a gifted poet, dancer, and composer of many songs. But his inability to control his impulses culminated in an affair that led to murder and the devastation of his family. Understand one thing: Every strength the Most High gives you has a corresponding weakness that must be identified and handled in the right way. The more talented you are, the more disciplined you must be. (The biblical character) Paul was wise enough to recognize his own proclivities: "I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest...when I have preached to others, I myself should be castaway."

The last few decades have proven that even people The Most High gifted to build great churches and lead great ministries aren't immune to temptation. Where there is great talent-there is great temptation. So, seek refuge in the wisdom of the Most High. (Source: Word of Today) (bobbeethehater.blogspot.com)
