Episode 94. The Questions Jesus Gives Us to Ask (because He never met a stranger)

Jesus has never and will never meet a stranger. I am following the man who knows everyone. And it is through His eyes I want to see those who I do not yet know.

The Gospels give us the roadmap for how Jesus did it, and how we are to do it. The beauty of asking the question that speaks to someone’s heart beyond what the person asks for. Or thinks is needed.

The questions Jesus asked are powerful cues for how we connect with those He has put in our path to love. On a first take, it might look something like this.

Jesus said, “Who touched me?” – aka, I say, “How can what I have help you? What do you need from me?”

Jesus said, “Why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” – aka, I say, “I see you are hurting. I see you are searching; I know where He is.”

Jesus told us and tells us His love is one question away from a conversation at the well, in the garden, outside the temple, and all the places we put one foot in front of the other.

Episode 93. Eve’s Apple and God’s Question (I fell with her—separated from my Creator)

Choices shape our spiritual journey.

What happened in the Garden is part of the DNA of what happens in our lives. We are part of The Fall.

In my life today, I accept that when I stand in front of the tree that makes me my own god, I need to do this:

Pray for clarity.

Seek God’s truth.

Seek spiritual consequences that are eternal.

Loop this question throughout my day: “Does this action separate me or bring me closer to God?”

Answer the Lord’s question “Where are you?” with my witness.

Genesis 3:6

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Episode 92. Give God Your Problem Through Praise (a DIY Psalm for bringing your humility to His solution)

What % of your time would you say you hold on to your problems, every day? 10% or 75%, 30% or double that, at 60%?

This scenario is something God frees us from. Seems appropriate to think about during freedom week of 2024. I hadn’t thought about freedom in the context of praise until this BUOY.

When I think of praise I think of David. Psalm 145 gives us a DIY approach to bringing our humility to God’s solution.

In Psalm 145, David uses 15 verbs to praise the nature of our Lord.

In Psalm 145, David claims what God does when we bring our problems to Him.

14 The Lord upholds all who fall

and lifts up all who are bowed down.

18 The Lord is near to all who call on him,

to all who call on him in truth. (that takes humility, human)

20 The Lord watches over all who love him,

but all the wicked he will destroy.

He upholds us when we fall.

He is near when we call.

He watches over when we love.

This is a pretty amazing definition of His presence in my life.

Psalm 145: 21

21 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.

Let every creature praise his holy name

for ever and ever.
