GOD LED YOU TO READ THIS See Philippians 4:6-7 Stop Worrying... Worrying is a conversation you have with yourself about things you can't change. Prayer is a conversation you have with God about things that He can change. That's why the Bible also says do not worry about anything, but pray about everything. Because everything that's out of your control is in God's control. And God promised He's working all things, not some things, all things together for your good. If you believe, put Am

I was saved at twelve in a Southern Baptist church in North Carolina, and I did not read the Bible for myself until I was thirty four. For twenty two years I borrowed other men's sermons. I knew the church words, I knew when to nod in the pew, and I still could not open the Book at my own kitchen table and explain one hard chapter to my wife or our five kids. When I finally started reading the text for myself on break in a North Dakota garbage truck, two things hit me at once. Half of what I had been told was in the Bible was not there at all. And what was actually written in the text was sharper, plainer, and more useful for a marriage and a household than anything I had ever heard from a pulpit. "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." Deuteronomy 6:6, 7 Nobody else can do your reading for you, and nobody else is coming to put your house in order. "Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:" Proverbs 24:3 Open the Book in your own house today.

There is a true law, a right reason, conformable to nature, universal, unchangeable, eternal, whose commands urge us to duty, and whose prohibitions restrain us from evil. Whether it enjoins or forbids, the good respect its injunctions, and the wicked treat them with indifference. This law cannot be contradicted by any other law, and is not liable either to derogation or abrogation. Neither the senate nor the people can give us any dispensation for not obeying this universal law of justice. It needs no other expositor and interpreter than our own conscience. It is not one thing at Rome and another at Athens; one thing today and another tomorrow; but in all times and nations this universal law must forever reign, eternal and imperishable. It is the sovereign master and emperor of all beings. God himself is its author, its promulgator, its enforcer. He who obeys it not, flies from himself, and does violence to the very nature of man. For his crime he must endure the severest penalties hereafter, even if he avoid the usual misfortunes of the present life. — Marcus Tullius Cicero (De Re Publica)

“Therefore, when we build, let us think that we build for ever. Let it not be for present delight, nor for present use alone; let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, ‘See! this our fathers did for us.’” John Ruskin The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849) 🤌🏼
