February 25
Leviticus 4:22-6:30, Mark 5:21-43
Thought from Today's Old Testament Passage:
Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these [Lev. 5:4].
Careless speech is involved in this instance. Sometimes we promise to do something, and then we don't do it. We promise that we will serve the Lord. Jephthah is an example of a man promising to do something very rash—to offer his daughter. Simon Peter boldly declared that he would not deny Christ, but would die defending Him.
Today I hear people making some very rash promises. In fact, I think some of our songs are dynamite, to tell the truth. In our songs we promise to give all to Him, to follow Him, to die for Him. We sing them so glibly that we don't even know what we are singing.
Also I think it is careless speech and presumptuous when we try to demand of God an answer to our prayers. We need always to remember that our prayers are to be in accordance with His will. If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. Where did we get the idea that we could demand anything of God?

Heaven: What will it be like?
Have you ever wondered what Heaven will be like? The city at the center of our future Heaven is called the New Jerusalem. According to the Bible, the ground level of that city will be nearly two mission square miles. That is forty times bigger than England and fifteen thousand times bigger than London. But remember, that's just the ground level. In "Heaven, What Will It Be Like?" Dr Randy Alcorn helps to answer your questions, clear up wrong ideas many have about heaven and explores the specific details God gives us in the Bible.
