<< Psalm 119:83 >>

Bible in Basic English
For I have become like a wine-skin black with smoke; but I still keep the memory of your rules.

***
Douay-Rheims Bible
For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications.

***

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

119:81-88 The psalmist sought deliverance from his sins, his foes, and his fears. Hope deferred made him faint; his eyes failed by looking out for this expected salvation. But when the eyes fail, yet faith must not. His affliction was great. He was become like a leathern bottle, which, if hung up in the smoke, is dried and shrivelled up. We must ever be mindful of God's statutes. The days of the believer's mourning shall be ended; they are but for a moment, compared with eternal happiness. His enemies used craft as well as power for his ruin, in contempt of the law of God. The commandments of God are true and faithful guides in the path of peace and safety. We may best expect help from God when, like our Master, we do well and suffer for it. Wicked men may almost consume the believer upon earth, but he would sooner forsake all than forsake the word of the Lord. We should depend upon the grace of God for strength to do every good work. The surest token of God's good-will toward us, is his good work in us.

each of us has struggled with the feelings of failure, opportunity to tell him we love him will help us

REDISCOVERING JESUS 
A SERMON ON JOHN 21:1-25

by Rev. Russell B. Smith



Most of you know that before I was a preacher, I was a technical writer and trainer for Wachovia Bank in North Carolina. I was part of a team that supported a 400-member department that took up three floors of a building. One of our efforts centered on developing electronic procedure and policy manuals that were available at each person’s computer. I had quickly picked up the software package we used, and therefore I had a lot of responsibility for this effort. We had a system in place that would allow each person to customize their own manual — they could type in their own notes; highlight important passages; set electronic bookmarks that would take them back to where they wanted to go. Even with all that personalization, when the manual was updated, everyone instantly received the updates. It was a terrific system.

At least until I made a terrific error. It’s to complicated to get into the details of what I did, but suffice it to say, I made a mistake. That mistake single-handedly wiped out the procedure manual for one of the largest departments in our division. I was also the first to figure out what I had done, and my heart sank as I went in to tell my boss what had happened. Then I got right to work figuring out what we could salvage. Fortunately, we had a computer backup of the manual — but everyone lost all his or her personalization. It was a horrible, humiliating failure. I was supposed to be this wizard on this software package; and instead I appeared to be a real klutz.

Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever so publicly failed that you couldn’t avoid the embarrassment and shame of it all? I suspect that if you’ve tried to do anything of significance at all, you’ve encountered your share of failure. That still doesn’t make it more comfortable. Failure hurts, and the natural response for most of us is simply to lower our standards.

I think Peter understood what it was like to be a failure. Here he was, one of Jesus’ inner circle, and he had fallen so many times — like that walking on water episode. Peter and the disciples were in a boat on the Sea of Galilee when a storm kicked up. Then, in the midst of the storm, they saw Jesus walking across the sea. Peter called out to Jesus asking him to walk on the water. Jesus beckoned him to come. Then when Peter stepped out onto the water, he stayed up for a step or two — until he became afraid of the waves. Then he sank into the water and had to be pulled out by Jesus — a big failure in front of the other disciples. Or how about when he fell asleep when Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane — that was the night when Judas betrayed Jesus; it was a time when Jesus needed him most. But the most humiliating failure — when he was lurking by the fire trying to overhear Jesus trial — three times a servant girl identified him as a disciple of Christ, and three times, he denied knowing anything about…ahh…whatever His name was. Sure, all the others ran away. At least he had the courage to stick around. But even so, he was supposed to be Jesus’ right hand man. How could he of all people have betrayed him like that? Yes, Peter had failed. Let’s take a look at the text of John’s last chapter (21:1-25), which highlights the resolution to Peter’s situation.

Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. 

He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered. 

He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. 

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. 

Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught." 

Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. 

When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." 

Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep." 

The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." 

Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!" 

Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?") When Peter saw him, he asked, "Lord, what about him?" 

Jesus answered, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me." Because of this, the rumor spread among the brothers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?" 

This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

So when Jesus sent word to his disciples to meet him in Galilee (Matt 28), Peter went straightway. They had gathered and were waiting, and they decided to go fishing. Then, unexpectedly, Jesus appears on the shore calling them to breakfast. It must’ve reminded Peter of when he was first called to be a disciple. Luke 5 tells the story — a carpenter jumps in the boat with the fishermen and starts telling them how to fish — and his advice brings in such a catch that the nets burst. Here again, the stranger gives advice, and they bring in a huge catch, but this time the nets hold. Peter knew right away and he jumps out of the boat makes for shore. Don’t you love his passion and intensity? His heart is so captivated by Jesus that he plunges ahead, come what may. And then when he gets to the shore, Jesus has breakfast prepared and he takes Peter aside for a private talk.

Peter was a failure. But Jesus came to him personally and gave him the opportunity to succeed. Notice first of all that Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me.” There were three denials — and three opportunities to affirm commitment.

First thing, note that re-commitment after failure is painful. Verse 17 (“You know that I love you!) tells us that Peter was indeed hurt and his language conveys that tone as well. The hurt comes from truly admitting our failure and moving beyond it.

Second, note that the encounter is about Peter, not about anyone else. In verses 20-22, Peter turns and sees John following behind. Here was another one of the inner circle — he had overheard the whole conversation. Peter, understandably says, “What about him?” In other words — “He did it too, what are you going to do with him? Will it be as painful as what you do with me?” Jesus says back “What does that have to do with you? You must follow me?” I imagine that Peter was suddenly reminded of the saying Jesus said about looking to the log in your own eye before looking at the speck in someone else’s (Matthew 7:3-5). Jesus is saying, “Don’t worry about what I’m doing in his life — you focus on what I’m doing in your life.”

Third note that the encounter was energizing. Jesus gives Peter three commands — feed my lambs, take care of my sheep, follow me. Each time, Jesus conveys to Peter that he’s entrusting him with spiritual responsibility. No matter what Peter’s past failures, Jesus still has a job for him to do, and he wants Peter to get after it.

What did this reinstatement do for Peter? Where did Peter go after that? Take a look at the book of Acts and Peter’s letters for the rest of the story.

Peter engaged in heartfelt worship: Acts 4:31 — his powerful prayer with John enabled him to be released. He reflects this in his writing when he talks about the purpose of the church in I Peter 2:4-5. 

Peter engaged in joyful witness: Act 2:14ff — He simply told the story of the good news of what Jesus had done — the people responded. In I Peter 2:9, Peter reminds us that the purpose of the church is to tell the story of Christ to a watching world. 

Peter engaged in continual study of Scripture: Look at Peter’s sermon in Acts 2 — he quotes the prophets and Psalms. His first letter is littered with quotes from the Old Testament. I Peter 1:10-12, Peter shows his reverence for the Old Testament Scripture. 

Peter engaged in sharing with his fellow Christians: With all the disciples and converts in Jerusalem, he had close and tight relationships (Acts 2:42-47). 2 Peter 2:13-3:8 shows a practical outworking through advice for mutual submission to one another. 

Peter engaged in service to those outside the church: In Acts 3:1-11, Peter heals the beggar outside the temple for God’s glory. In I Peter 4:10, he puts the capstone on it. Each one of us should use our gifts to serve others.

After the Resurrection, Peter rediscovered Jesus. He rediscovered the fact that our standing with Jesus is not affected by success or failure. In that breakfast by the seashore, Peter rediscovered that it is our standing with Jesus that enables us to attain new heights. Peter went on to fully develop in spiritual maturity in worship, witness, studying, sharing and serving.

I’m sure that each of us has struggled with the feelings of failure — particularly in the spiritual realm. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the phrase “I’m not the Christian I ought to be.” What’s worse is that we get caught in the trap of thinking that we’ll feel better if we just try harder. Trying harder won’t make you feel better. Why? Because we’re human. Humans face spiritual failure the rest of our lives. Only that personal encounter with Christ — that opportunity to tell him we love him will help us. It is that encounter that will energize us to fully engage in worship, witness, study, sharing, and serving.

As we’ve studied the gospel of John over the past year, I hope you’ve seen how Jesus energized everyone he met. I hope and pray that many of you have been personally touched by Jesus’ presence in your lives and even if you’ve been his disciple for years, he’s taken you to a new level of commitment. Amen and Amen.

Ultra Messaging i600 - Windows Mobile 5.0 powered Smartphone with integrated QWERTY keyboard and HSDPA support

Today at ITU Telecom World 2006, Samsung Electronics and Microsoft launched the Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, the first 3G smartphone with HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) support . Measuring only 11.8mm and weighing a mere 99g, the Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 is the world's thinnest 3G smartphone with a full QWERTY key board . It blends the feature-rich, desktop functionality of the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform with multimedia capabilities to help people work on the go, stay in touch with family and friends or just have fun.

"I am proud to introduce the Ultra Messaging i600 Windows Mobile smartphone with Microsoft. It represents the best innovation from both Samsung and Microsoft and makes it a perfect solution for today's mobile professional," said Kitae Lee, President, Samsung Telecommunication Network Business. "Samsung will continue to explore new market opportunities with Microsoft and we look forward to collaborating together to bring more innovative products to market."

The Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 is the first smartphone in Asia Pacific and Europe that supports the HSDPA network for faster data transfer speeds, as well as seamless communications through high-speed connectivity via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR. It is also the first smartphone to support web applications such as podcasting and RSS Feeder.

Ultra Experiences, Ultra Functionality

A key feature of the Ultra Messaging i600 is its QWERTY keyboard with wheel key, perfectly designed for composing messages or e-mails. In addition to this, the customized thumbwheel makes navigation simpler than ever . Running on Windows Mobile 5.0 with Direct Push Technology, the Ultra Messaging i600 instantly updates Microsoft Office Outlook's Email, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks when synchronised with Exchange Server 2003, to ensure that users are always up-to- date while on-the-move.

Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 users can listen to stereo-quality music and view high quality video clips with Windows Media Player 10 Mobile and a Bluetooth stereo headset. Internet browsing rivals the PC experience due to the device's large 2.3? high-quality color screen and wireless broadband capabilities. The Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 also includes a speakerphone, built-in voice recognition and support for a 1.3 megapixel digital camera that can record video.

Built-in Pocket MSN offers consumers the consistent and familiar user experience that they currently enjoy with MSN Messenger on their desktops. With this offering, users will automatically have a separate Inbox for Hotmail messages on their device. They will also be able to view their buddy list and chat instantly with their contacts, whenever and wherever they want. All of these features are packed into a slim design, which makes the Ultra Messaging i600 the ideal balance of work and play. The Ultra Messaging i600 is comfortable to hold with a slim body and has a soft finishing which gives it a good grip.

?The mobile population is increasingly looking to use one device that easily plugs into their life, both in and out of the office," said Pieter Knook, Senior Vice President, Mobile and Embedded Devices Division, Microsoft Corp. "The Samsung Ultra Messaging i600 works well both for organisations looking to increase employee productivity through the deployment of smartphones, yet deliver a desirable and fashionable smartphone for users at the same time."

The Samsung 's Ultra Messaging i600 will be available in Asia Pacific and Europe in first quarter, 2007.

Quick Review: LG KS20 - A Smart Windows Mobile Phone

by jaganath on May 12, 2008

7-day Free trial of Napster!

Recently, I got a chance to play with LG’s hot new Windows Mobile phone, the LG KS20. KS20 is a remarkably thin and lightweight phone with a QVGA screen. I was surprised by the connectivity options available on this phone. It has Triband GSM with UMTS. It is also HSDPA and Wi-Fi enabled for high speed internet browsing. Other standard connectivity options like bluetooth are available.

Though it felt plasticky when I held it in my hand, it is very lightweight - in fact, it is the lightest Windows Mobile phone I have ever come across. The screen is flush and the shiny plastic is prone to getting finger prints. LG also supplies a carrying case in the original box.

There aren’t many custom applications available. Even the today screen customizations done by LG are almost unnoticeable. This is surprising since the competitors like Samsung and HTC provide very heavily customized today screens on their new models. All you get in the KS 20 is a bunch of application launch icons on the bottom of the screen. Everything else is standard windows mobile fare. The absence of GPS based applications are noticeable. You can use an external GPS receiver though.

On the negative side, I felt that the touch screen is not very sensitive. In fact, you have to press the stylus hard to invoke any actions. This made it very uncomfortable to use. I feel that the digitzer’s life may be reduced because of the extra pressure one has to apply. Then again, this may be a problem specific to the piece that I had.

Otherwise, it is a stylish and feature packed tiny little windows mobile phone.

meekness and Humility


Introduction:

Two of the greatest characters in the Bible possessed in common the qualities we want to study in this lesson.

Numbers 12:3 - Moses was very meek, above all men on face of the earth.

Matthew 11:29,30 - Jesus said, "I am meek and lowly in heart."

These men were two of the greatest characters who ever lived. Both were chosen by God to be givers of His law. Jesus was the Divine Son of God. Surely we should seek to be like these men.

Other verses emphasize the importance of these qualities

Matthew 5:5 - Blessed are the meek (gentle - NKJV), for they shall inherit the earth. Jesus declares a "blessing" (happiness) on those who are meek.

Galatians 5:22,23 - Meekness is one of the fruits of the Spirit - qualities that we must possess if we are led by the Spirit.

Proverbs 16:18,19 - Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly.

If we seek to be happy, to be led by the Spirit, to avoid destruction, and to be like great people such as Moses and Jesus, we need to possess meekness and humility.

It is the purpose of this lesson to study these qualities, what they are, and how they will affect our lives. As we study, we will frequently note Moses and Jesus as examples who teach us about meekness and humility.

Definitions:

Meekness

This is an extremely difficult word to translate into English, because we think "meek" implies weakness. Sometimes it is translated (NKJV) "gentleness," but that also implies weakness.

The best way to know the meaning of a word is to study passages where it is used. As we do, we will see meekness is an attitude or quality of heart [1 Peter 3:4] whereby a person willingly accepts and submits without resistance to the will and desires of someone else. The meek person is not self-willed - not continually concerned with self, his own ways, ideas, and wishes. He is willing to put himself in second place and submit himself to achieve what is good for others. Meekness is the opposite of self-will, self-interest, and self-assertiveness.

This is a sign, not of weakness of character (as some think), but of strength. It requires great self-control to submit to others.

Humility

This is an attitude or quality of mind [Acts 20:19] whereby a person holds low esteem or opinion of his own goodness and importance. Spiritually, one abases himself because he realizes his sinfulness and therefore he is willing to depend on God to meet His needs. It is the opposite of pride, haughtiness, and self-exaltation.

Being humble implies that a person is modest, and does not think that he/she is better or more important than others. They do not brag about their achievements, even though internally, they know they did well. Humility can be considered a good quality and is actually one of the 7 virtues in Christianity.

Low self-esteem has more of a negative connotation. A person with low self-esteem might believe (wrongly) that they are worthless and that everything they do is wrong. He/she might not just believe that they are not better or more important than others, but that they are not even equal to others and that others are better or more important than them.

Blessed are the poor in spirit?

What does this mean? In my theology class, my teacher asked this, and I answered "It means blessed are the humble." She said no and later said it means humble.

Also, is there a difference between humble and meek? If not, why does Jesus say the same thing twice?

The poor in spirit are those who have reached rockbottom and have to depend on God alone, not their talents or abilities or name. They have nothing but their faith...which means they have everything.

The humble are those who know who Christ is, and who they are--and the difference. I call it "knowing how important you aren't." It's not a "poor me" thing, it's very freeing when you know that Jesus is on the job and you aren't required to be a big cheese--just faithful and true. When you know who you are in Christ, you don't have to worry about your reputation, just as Christ washed the disciples feet because as the Word says, "Knowing who He was and where He was going..." He knew He wasn't lowering Himself.

Meekness and humility go hand in hand. Humility is who you are before God and yourself; meekness is how you act with others. You don't have to defend yourself, or keep up with others, because you know who you are--therefore hostility and arrogance and all that aren't necessary.

    Poor in spirit has a meaning of its own: those who know of their essential need for God, and find the true meaning of joy when they find that God is sufficient for all of their needs.

    Humble is of low status in society.

    Meek is timid, afraid, not confident.

    (Theology is the study of words people have written about things that didn't actually exist. One of the more pointless activities in life.)

    Blessed are the poor in spirit." The Beatitudes reveal an order of happiness and grace, of beauty and peace. Jesus celebrates the joy of the poor, to whom the Kingdom already belongs:

    The Word speaks of voluntary humility as "poverty in spirit"; the Apostle gives an example of God's poverty when he says: "For your sakes he became poor."

    The People of the "poor" - those who, humble and meek, rely solely on their God's mysterious plans, who await the justice, not of men but of the Messiah - are in the end the great achievement of the Holy Spirit's hidden mission during the time of the promises that prepare for Christ's coming. It is this quality of heart, purified and enlightened by the Spirit, which is expressed in the Psalms. In these poor, the Spirit is making ready "a people prepared for the Lord."

    blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs shall be the kingdom of god... he also says unless you become like chidren you may not enter the kingdom of god... it means simple- minded, innocent- minded, pure...
    children have pure minds, clear minds, inocent minds. notmuch corruption, anger, hatred in it... poor in spirit means, having a peaceful and simple mind. when mind is still, when all judgement, all fear, all drama is gone... you are in heaven, you experience the kingdom of god... it lies beyond mind... gets reflected in a still mind only, in a "poor spirited" mind.

    Many things in scripture are presented in constructive parallelism, where essentially the same thought is presented in slightly different ways, to clarify. Unless you feel a need, you will not ask for a blessing. If you do not ask, you will not receive the blessing YAHOSHUA would like to give you.

    Poor in spirit, In my humble opinion means those who have suffered alot. Repeated bad experiences can cause spirit to weaken. Now if people are victim of oppression and they have not done anything to deserve it and yet are patient in their lives, Indeed a Just God will always bless them!
