Habakkuk 3:16-19
We tend to hang onto materialism and not onto God.
In some ways, we need to “loosen up” and in other ways, we need to “tighten up.”
Habakkuk was saying if he lost everything, he would be able to hold onto God.
Job was able to see what he should hold tightly to and what he should hold loosely to.
Matthew 14:30– Peter’s sinking experience– he was concentrating on the circumstances instead of the Master of the circumstances. Peter prayed the shortest recorded– “Lord, save me!”
Psalm 118:8-9
Job moved away from earthly pleasures because they can ‘dry up’ at any time.
John 3:30
Acts 16:25– Others around us watch how we react in difficult situations. Praise looks beyond the right now. Praise flows from a grateful heart.

No Rest

The doctor had just been buried. The last words of the service over, his friends and family started toward their cars.

However, they stopped because a strange, eerie sound suddenly was heard from the grave.

As the guests looked around, a colleague of the deceased said, “It’s nothing… just his beeper.”

The Twenty and the One

Greg Taunt — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 02:28:15 +0000

A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country.

“I’ve had a pretty good life,” the twenty proclaimed. “Why I’ve been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean.”

“Wow!” said the one-dollar bill. “You’ve really had an exciting life!”

“So tell me,” says the twenty, “where have you been throughout your lifetime?”

The one dollar bill replies, “Oh, I’ve been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church…”

The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, “What’s a church?”
