MaxLucado.com Weekday Email A Trio of Peaks  Today's MP3 You can't run the world, nor are you expected to be all-powerful. You may think you can. But when you face your own grave or your own guilt,  your power will not do the trick. The Bible says "Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever." (Matthew 6:13). A trio of peaks. Admire them, applaud them, but don't climb them. You weren't made to run a kingdom, or to be all-powerful. And you certainly can't handle all the glory. Mount Applause is the most seductive of the three peaks. More than one person has stood at the top and shouted, "Mine is the glory!"—only to lose their balance and fall. As you confess that God is in charge, you admit you aren't. As you proclaim that God has power, you admit you don't. And as you give God all the applause, there is none left to dizzy your brain! from The Great House of God    04.29.13.mp3 UpWords Partners help make these emails & more available for free at MaxLucado.com.

The proud go astray after a lie.

Psalms 40:4 ESV

"Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!"

MaxLucado.com Weekday Email Chocolate Ice Cream or Okra?  Today's MP3 Jesus said:  "The way you give to others is the way God will give to you." (Luke 6:38). It's as if God sends you to purchase your neighbor's groceries.  "Whatever you get your neighbor, get also for yourself."  I'm crazy about double-chocolate ice cream, so I buy my neighbor double-chocolate ice cream.  But suppose your neighbor's trash blows into your yard.  He's in no rush—says he'll get to it next week. You're just about to have a talk when God reminds you, "Time to go to the market and buy your neighbor's groceries." You march right past the double-chocolate ice cream toward the okra and rice. You drive back and drop the sack in the lap of your lazy, good-for-nothing neighbor. "Have a good dinner." The next time you go to your pantry, guess what you find? What will you be eating?  Chocolate ice cream or okra?  It's up to you. from The Great House of God    04.22.13.mp3 UpWords Partners help make these emails & more available for free at MaxLucado.com.

MaxLucado.com Weekday Email Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread  Today's MP3 Many of us have trouble relating to the prayer, "God, give us this day our daily bread." Because our pantries are so packed and our bellies so full, we seldom ask for food. More likely, we need to ask for self-control and say, "God, help me not to eat so much." You won't find books on surviving starvation, but you will find shelves loaded with books on losing weight. That doesn't negate the importance of the prayer, however. Just the opposite. We pray only to find our prayer already answered!  At some point it occurs to you that someone is providing for your needs. You take a giant step in maturity when you agree with King David's words in 2nd Chronicles 29:14, "Everything we have has come from You, and we only give You what is Yours already." Long before you knew you needed someone to provide for your needs, God already had! from The Great House of God    04.10.13.mp3 The Moment with Kurt Warner & Max Lucado   Click here for live streaming via BibleGateway.com     TONIGHT – April 10 –  7/6pm CT    Graveside Grief   A Personal Note from Max Lucado… Our hearts go out to Rick and Kay Warren. Since we heard the news of their son's sudden passing, my wife Denalyn and I have felt such sadness on their behalf. I'm sure you have felt the same. The Warrens, who mean so much to so many of us, find themselves facing what no parent ever wants to face. In my years as a pastor, the most difficult hours have been those in which I have watched parents bid farewell to their children. Thinking of those in our congregation, thinking of Rick and Kay, I wrote this prayer. GRAVESIDE GRIEF They never planned to bring their child here, Father. They planned to bring their child to school, to the zoo, to kindergarten, to the beach… But here? No. To piano lessons? Yes. To soccer fields? Yes. To graduation? Yes. But here? Never. No parent plans to bring his child here. Children bring parents here. Isn't that the order of things? Sons and daughters bury moms and dads. Who can bear the weight of this reversal? Who can stand to stand near the grave of their child? Such a deep sorrow. This elixir of regret, remorse, second thoughts, and "if onlys"… Who can abide its taste? We pray for these parents, Father. Our kindest words fall like empty husks. Help us  know how to help them. You know. You've been here. You brought your Son to a cemetery. You witnessed the silent tomb. Yet, you resurrected hope from that tragedy. Would you bring hope again? Through Jesus, Amen    UpWords Partners help make these emails & more available for free at MaxLucado.com.
