Daily scripture for thought from Chaplin Ron.
Hebrews 11:25
"CHOOSING RATHER TO SUFFER AFFLICTION WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD, THAN TO ENJOY THE PLEASURES OF SIN FOR A SEASON."
In 1920, the management of the Boston Red Sox made the choice to trade Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. After joining them, Ruth hit more home runs than the entire Red Sox team in 10 out of 12 seasons. They made the wrong choice. Choices are a daily part of our lives, often resulting in significant consequences, such as the Babe Ruth trade.
The writer of Hebrews presented a roll call of faith, (Hebrews 11:1-40), and Moses indeed belongs on that list. In verses 23-26, we are presented with two choices that greatly affected the course of history. The first was made by two slaves in ancient Egypt who chose to defy Pharaoh's edict to kill all the male Hebrew babies. They hid their baby son in a waterproof ark (basket) that was providentially found by Pharaoh's daughter, who ironically hired Moses's own parents to raise him (Exodus 2:1-10).
The second choice was Moses's decision to give up his position of influence and wealth in Egypt to side with God's enslaved people. He chose to identify with them, becoming an object of scorn. Though Moses was reared in the luxury of Egypt's palace and assured of all the things that men strive for, he learned that it's not the possession of things but the forsaking of them for the glory of God that brings rest.
Faith banks on eternity. We weigh momentary pleasures against eternal joy in heaven. What will you choose?
Think about your choices against eternal joy in heaven.

Daily scripture for thought from Chaplin Ron.
Galatians 6:10
"AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: FOR IN DUE SEASON WE SHALL REAP, IF WE FAINT NOT."
Galatians is not primarily about what people should do but about what God has done. God declares people righteous not by works but by faith in Christ Jesus. People who have truly experienced this grace are never the same. Because of what God has done, believers should do good to others and help bear their burdens. God will be gracious by rewarding every good deed in the future, but the harvest requires perseverance. To reap, we must sow, and we must not quit sowing. You do not harvest a field of wheat the day after you sow the seed. So in the spiritual realm, the rewards surely follow faithful sowing "in due season."
Sow the right seed and be patient, and you will reap what you have sown. The same is true about sowing evil or sinful seed, you will reap what you sow. You may have problems and difficulties now, but just keep sowing the Word of God, for He has promised an abundant harvest.
Doing good for our fellow believers can be exhausting. Sometimes we are tired. The work can be thankless. Doing good for unbelievers can also be very difficult. But God sees every action, and He will ensure that every good deed is more than worth the effort.

Even Death and Destruction hold no secrets from the LORD. How much more does he know the human heart! Proverbs 15:11
The words of this proverb hold a truth that can be a real “game changer” for each of us. We need to know that He is all knowing, eternal, had no beginning or ending, is all powerful, and there is nothing hidden from Him, and yet, He loves each of us. He is ever present and we need to know that and speak to Him in every situation. I offer the following words from the psalms and ask that you read it as if David’s words are your words.
A psalm of David. O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! Psalms 139:1-18
So, he already knows all about me and I need to know all about him. I need to yield my will to His and allow Him to lead me. Here’s how David ended his psalm; Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. Psalms 139:23-24
