Todays discussion will center around these two topics:
Lack of Faith & Two by Two
In verse 4 Jesus says, "Only in his own hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." In the verses just prior to this one, the people in the town are somewhat bewildered and asking questions, recalling that Jesus was just a carpenter and the son of Mary. "Where did this wisdom come from?" they asked and they were offended by him. Because they had witnessed who He was growing up they were unwilling to believe who he was. Their lack of faith hindered the work that could have been done there. Remember that in the post before this one, we noted that it is faith that draws power from the Lord. These poor souls missed out on that power because of their lack of faith. It is sad to note that this biblical truth sometimes holds true today when one even mentions their faith to a relative, the lover of the Lord is judged and shut down right away because the family member knows the kind of life they lived prior to excepting the Lord as savior and just like these hometowners they will often remind you of it. They miss out and there is nothing you can do about it but continue to love them, forgive them for their judgements and pray...

What did you think about two by two? To me it appears important to Jesus by this account that we should be paired up on our witnessing journey. Do you have another believer in your life that the Lord has paired you up with to do his work? My husband often talks about his different tennis partners and how some mesh with his tennis style better than others. We all are unique and have been equiped with different styles so to speak and I believe the Lord has His hand in pairing us up with those who will mesh well togehter in order to accomplish His purpose.
Lord thank you for all blessings past, present and future. Thank you for friends that are well grounded in your truths. Thank you for family members that have open ears and open hearts...In your name Yeshua I pray and believe...

About Me
- His Delighted Servant
- My faith is what moves me , it is enjoyable, irresistable, lovely and warm with a sense of mystery. Its like a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing my hair, like a butterfly emerging from a cacoon, like a flower pushing its way through the soil of the earth, like a hidden treasure waiting to be found, yes it is my faith that defines me and I am completely content regardless of what goes on around me...My life with Yeshua is like a well written novel that I can not and will not put down... My greatest desire is to be used by Him to touch hearts without religiousity, denominationalism or legalism. One heart at a time. God Bless All from Shelli

Ecc 4:9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
Ecc 4:10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
