The Llamas and the Coyote

Psalm 18:17

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

In my travels, I notice llamas in the fields with other animals. " Those llamas keep coyotes away," my husband says.

Today, I read an interesting account of those funny-looking, afraid-of - nothing llamas. When they see something, said  the article, they put their head up and walk straight toward it. In the coyote's "language," that is aggression, and they want nothing to do with it. 

Coyotes are opportunists, and llamas call their bluff. Whatever is stalking your mind today, call its bluff. Face it and deal with it for what it is. Be a spiritual llama.

My Daily Prayer

Lord, help me to not render evil for evil; but ever follow that which is good both among you, and all men. Help me Lord in Jesus name to rejoice evermore, to pray without ceasing, and to always give thanks; for this is your will in Christ Jesus. Help me Lord in Jesus name that I will quench not the Spirit, that I will despise not prophesying, that I will prove all things; hold fast that which is good, and that I will abstain from all appearance of evil. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen

Do I Have Time To Teach My Children About God ?

Deuteronomy 6:7 (KJV)
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

I love this devotion by LaJoyce Martin.

" Jewish parents taught their children diligently: when sitting, when walking, when lying down, when getting up.  But I don't have time to teach my child about God ! Really ? How about when they are eating pizza? or blowing out birthday candles? or making snow ice cream ? Uh-huh. When we're on the way to the mall? to school? to the dentist? to church? Uh-huh. When we're tucking them into bed, telling bedtime stories, turning on he nightlight? Uh-huh. When we're feeding them fruity pebbles, tying their shoes, strapping on their book bags? Uh-huh.
Talking. Walking. Resting. Rising. Those are the times to teach God's laws to our future generations." ~ LaJoyce Martin
