Friday 1st April - Foolishness

Good afternoon. We have had a bit of a random filled day in which I have rested and Anne has been into school. I did not sleep well last night due to my back and so slept for most of the morning once my back had recovered. As excellent as this was it seemed to throw most of my day. Anne as fore mentioned went in to see her new school and enjoyed the morning. This evening I am resting ahead of my mum and brother coming and Anne's work are having a night out and so she is going out. James says 'do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what is says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom and continues in it not forgetting what they have heard but doing it, they will be blessed in what they do'. We forget so much of God's word and we read so much of it and do not do it. Quite apt for April fool's day that we are foolish in not following the word of God. Verse for the day: Proverbs 10 v 23 Prayer of the day: Pray as we read God's word that we take His instruction seriously and put it into practice in our lives. Pray for my treatment to work and for God to perform a miracle in taking the cancer from my body. Pray for physical rest and for us to sleep well ahead of visitors tomorrow. Pray for our families as they deal with each day along with us. Pray for our witness to the people around us.
