“From Our Home to Yours” November 24, 2013 Checoukan Ministries Dennis Johnson 2200 10th Street Columbus, Kansas 66725 “Insight for Living” “Overcoming Unfair Treatment” by Charles R. Swindoll The LORD is righteous within her; He will do no injustice. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He does not fail. But the unjust knows no shame. ---Zephaniah 3:5 Dear Lord, we want You to find a yielded and quiet spirit within us. To make that happen, we need You to come in like a flood. Occupy us like water filling empty spaces. Occupy reserved portions of our lives where anger is festering and the secret places where grudges are being stored. Sweep through the houses of our hearts . . . dont miss one room or a single area---cleanse every dark closet, look under every rug. Let nothing go unnoticed as You take full control of our motives as well as our actions. Deep within our hearts, sweep us clean of blame and revenge, of self-pity and keeping score. Enable each one of us to be big enough to press on, regardless what unfair treatment weve had to endure. Take away the scars of ugly treatment and harsh words. Keep us from licking our wounds. Forgiveness comes hard . . . but its essential. Help us forgive, even those who never acknowledge their wrongdoing toward us. Give us peace over turmoil, and erase the memories that keep us offended. We need fresh hope to go on! We ask this in the name of Him who had no sin and did no wrong but died, the just for the unjust: Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen “God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased”. (1 Corinthians 12:18) “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow” I dont know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day. And I dont borrow from the sunshine Cause the skies might turn to gray. And I dont worry about the future, Cause I know what Jesus said, And today Im gonna walk right beside him Cause hes the one who knows what is ahead. There are things about tomorrow That I dont seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand. And each step is getting brighter As the golden stairs I climb. And every burden is getting lighter And all the clouds, their silver line. And, Ill bet the sun its always shining And no tears will ever dim the eye And the ending of the rainbow Where the mountains, they touch the sky. There are many things about tomorrow I dont seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand. Yes I know who holds my hand.
