<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Look at this neat photo Dad sent us!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Dad was in Athens yesterday walking along the road named after the man in Acts 17 - Dionysius, the Areopagus (He's the man who heard St. Paul preach and became a Christian - the first bishop of Athens, too!).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">(Deuteronomy 1:1)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What's important here, kids? Is it that the location given? Yes, that is important. But even more, it's the <b>words</b> that were spoken while Moses was in the location "in the desert east of the Jordan" - the Words of the Law that were given to him by God!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Deuteronomy comes from the two Greek words meaning "second" and "law." Before Moses was no longer with the new nation of Israel, he retold the laws that were given during the years in the desert. This retelling was from Moses' heart; he was as a grandfather telling the children he loved to never forget the Laws that were given to them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Why? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Because only through these laws would they recognize God's Salvation - the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ - when He visited the earth!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Hi Everyone!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What do you think God, through his servant the prophet Isaiah, is telling us here?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think He means that everyday is new (He's said that in several places in the Bible before) and even if we failed at something yesterday, He can still make a new something that we do succeed at today! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Like what? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, maybe <i>not </i>getting into an argument today (as you might have yesterday!) with your brother or sister, or maybe getting an A on a Math test the next time, rather than a C as you did the last time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Remember: God is in the business of doing everything new each and every day! After all, the sun comes up fresh each day; so must we!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Resurrection of Jesus' friend Lazarus happened about a month and a half before Easter. But it is about Easter too because it strengthened Jesus' disciple before He traveled to Jerusalem and willingly gave His life for the salvation of the world. I mean, what better way to get people to understand that Jesus will raise Himself from the dead than to raise his good friend Lazarus? Pretty cool I'd say! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">By this I know that thou favourest me;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">because mine enemies doth not triumph over me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">(Psalm 41: 11 KJV)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As you saw last weekend, when you filled in the blanks of this verse with Grandma, she likes the King James Version. I think in modern day English it would say something like this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"By this I Know that you favor me; because my enemies do not triumph over me!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">or </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Because of Your favor, my enemies cannot triumph over me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What does it mean? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">That if you walk with God that even though things seem to go against you -- maybe a bully at school is bothering you, or a teacher just doesn't like you, or your mom and dad seemed to be arguing too much, or your dad lost his job and your family has money worries, or someone you love is sick -- that you won't be defeated. That somehow God will bring you and your family through the hard times and even to better times than you could imagine! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">How will He do this? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So many possible ways! Maybe he will use a relative or a friend as His instrument of grace, or maybe he will send an angel to direct you the right way, or maybe he will just supernaturally (He is THE <i>Super </i>Natural One after all!) show you the way through.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Just know that if you are a child of God -- meaning you have asked God to live in your heart, that you believe Jesus is the Son of God -- that God's favor is on you. And if God's favor is on you, look out world!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>"Dear Lord in Heaven, thank you so much for putting Your favor on me!"</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;">But what really gets me with it is how one tiny little word - <i>so </i>- makes all the difference to its meaning.
