Michael's Photoblog...: Golf And Borders

Golf And Borders

Tuesday - July 31, 2007

My brother and I played a little Tiger Woods golf this afternoon before I drove him over to Borders for the chess gathering he attends. I've been hard at work these days developing some pretty cool new stuff for Photoblog.com, including better ways to stay in touch with your friends' entries and activities on the site.

Devotion notes and thoughts:

2 Samuel 5

Here are some excerpts from the reading that show David's relationship with God:

And he became more and more powerful, because the LORD God Almighty was with him.

And David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.

so David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?"
The LORD answered him, "Go, for I will surely hand the Philistines over to you."

so David inquired of the LORD, and he answered, "Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.

So David did as the LORD commanded him,

Hebrews 11

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

It is clear that the universe had a beginning. If you deny God and search for this beginning via naturalism, you arrive at absurd conclusions and theories of the universe spontaneously exploding itself into creation from an infinitely small point in space. Somehow, this is an acceptable conclusion for atheists, whereas an omnipotent God is out of the question. Hmm...

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe he exists

Verse 34 tells us that by faith, our weaknesses can be turned into our strengths.
