The Blame Game

He hadn’t found anyone just like him, so God fixed his problem. Now she had created a bigger one.
 

God finished creation with crown Adam. But as Adam looked over God’s finished product, there was no one he could relate to. Recognizing Adam’s unhealthy situation, God anesthetized him, took a rib and created a partner for him. Though initially excited, he wasn’t now.
 

Does Time Matter?

(excerpt from Morning Meditations by Martin Wiles)
John 9:4 We must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work. (HCSB)
 

“Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future.” Lyrics sung by the Steve Miller Band in their song, “Fly Like An Eagle.” The meaning of the song seems uncertain. Perhaps there was none. Regardless, the above statement is true. Time slips away quickly.
 

It’s My Body

Romans 12:1
(excerpt from Morning Meditations by Martin Wiles)
 Romans 12:1 I plead with you to give your bodies to God. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice. (NLT)
 “It’s my body. I can do what I want with it.” Whether or not I actually said it aloud or muttered it under my breath, I’m certain I thought it.

Trust In Troubling Times

Proverbs 3:5
(excerpt from Morning Meditations by Martin Wiles)
 Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. (NLT)
 Has life ever handed you a situation you didn’t appreciate but had little if any control over? It did to little Opie in the Andy Griffith episode Opie the Birdman. With a new slingshot and a promise not to shoot any living thing, Opie leaves the courthouse to try out his new weapon.
