Every morning he wakes me the ear that I hear hear disciples.
Isaiah 50.4
Jesus said to his disciples, is it given to you to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of God.
Luke 8.10
a gentle wake-up call
Early in the morning the alarm clock rings. Still sleepy and tired, we think of the tasks of the day. Enough time for breakfast yet? Will I be able to create everything I have planned for today what I must do today? Hopefully you see
morning as a rule of not. For the day's slogan evokes very different images. It is a gentle wake-up call. He pulls me out of bed, but wakes me gently the ear makes me awake and alert, curious and full of expectation for the new day. I nehem me time to come and set me on the day. What I am? What shall I do? What lies ahead? What I will now hear and see? What does God want me to say? Can I go so aware of the new day - trusting that God is with me?

Would to God that all the people of the MR prophets would come and the Lord's Spirit upon them could!
4.Mose 11.29
As we have many members in one body, but not all members of the same task, so we who are many are one body in Christ, but to each other is one of the other member.
Romans 12:4-5
interdependent
The image of a body and the number of joints is a wonderful image for the Christian community. That each and every one of his own place and his own task and there is room for different gifts and talents that you can not emphasize enough, and repeat. Diversity is richness and members of the body are interdependent. The image is so strong and so obvious that it even does not need a big explanation. But it also has a risk. Because in the body, each member of his particular place and its particular task. There is order. Is this true for the body of Christ?
The daily solution from the 4th Genesis is preceded by an episode where the two men - moved by the Spirit of God - behave like prophets. Joshua therefore calls on Moses to curb them and re-establishing order. But Moses rejects him with the words of today's solution. Nor should we allow more holy mess sometimes and remember that the work of the Spirit is alive and not first order?

The heart of man plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs 16.9
John the Baptist said: A man can receive nothing if it is given him from heaven. John
3.27
Man proposes but God disposes
This Sentence from the biblical book of Proverbs is also used in the treasure of our proverbs and maxims. Not high theology, but very practical, everyday wisdom is what makes this biblical book. The daily solution and recalls the limits of our making and planning. they can not be understood as a call, simply by political decisions to find or to dispense with the planning and making.
the contrary - it is important that our heart devises his way, that we take responsibility and make plans, it is important to have a say in policy decisions. Blind fatalism was certainly the wrong way. However, we find again the limitations of all our planning and doing, must realize that things do differently than we have thought of us. If we manage ourselves in this reality not to send bargain only resigned, but also positively to accept? Can we discover what lies ahead, new forces and opportunities? Can we also uncertainty and existential uncertainty and trust our God commanded him our way, in hope and trust that he means to us and we know also accompanied by uncertainty and carries? I rephrase the question as aware as I know from personal experience how little the call for more trust in God and how little help sometimes undertake the is. But I hope that the words of today's solution may encourage us to go our way with eager curiosity, what he might bring us well and open to what we encounter. I hope he helps us to find the right balance: to make us to work to plan and develop ideas to implement our resolutions, and at the same time be open to ensure that everything can happen very differently and plans fail, but also new may appear surprising ways.
"A man's heart plans his way in;. But the Lord directs his steps" This biblical wisdom would have us not be afraid, but we encourage them to life in all its unplannable and daring unpredictability - in the confidence that God accompanies us with his love and loyalty in all our ways.

Support - Playground in India
Dear friends, as you know
am, I was in India in the charity, and I also started Udavi a playground to plan and build.
Now I'm back here, but the playground for the children of Thuraipakkam (a suburb of Chennai), there is still no, because the money for the material and the play area. why I sign with you, with a request to support this project. I am personally committed to the playground with the kids is to build community.
What is the situation on the ground?
I'm doing hard pictures of suffering, to spread the children playing in the garbage. Therefore, finds her in an annex a photo, and a (very slightly tacky) Vision of the lot with children playing. In addition, a sketch of the building area. Basically living in Thuraipakkam 70,000 people, including 15,000 children. People come from various slums of the city, they had to leave. People live in Thuraipakkam in (by the World Bank financed) stone houses. However, the infrastructure is poor (schools, hospitals, playgrounds, garbage collection etc.). Udavi supervised several streets within this settlement. So far, the sports lessons were with "our" children instead of on a very small gravel place that was littered with broken glass and was surrounded by barbed wire. However, there are open spaces for development. I have leased an area in the summer with Udavi for the construction of a playground.
What is missing?
The playground will cost according to my calculation in the summer a total of 6,000 €. € 3000 for sand and gravel as a base and 3,000 € for routes and the play area.
How you can help?
you can donate any amount of money to my account. 5, 10, 20 or 50 € can help us already. From 100 € you can take over the sponsorship of a gaming machine (football goal, volleyball net, seesaw, swings, cricket equipment, ball equipment). Please give use as the "playground" field. Furthermore, even your email address if you want to stay up to date with what happens to your donation.
Since I do not want to publish my account information on the website, I ask you to take this opportunity to send me a short email: @ gmail.com matthias.schwarzer Then I'll send you the account data. Recently I switched advertising. The proceeds also go to the project.
I would also like to ask you to forward this email to friends and family, and to promote the completion of the project. On my blog I will give www.indiagecko.blogspot.com also status reports about the donations and the construction.
How the construction process?
# Once the necessary funds are available, I send the money to Kennedy, Johnson, director of the Help Organisation (www.udavi.org), in which I have also worked.
# Together with the children and young people on the ground, the two volunteers Mario and Anne, and Kennedy will carry out to control the construction of the playground and. With Kennedy, I have chosen in the summer of the land and with Mario and Anne and the children of the first steps (cleaning and straightening) done. What brings you
a donation?
What do you expect from the donations have to know their own. I can promise you two things. For one, that each € arrives on site and secondly, that this is a playground for the children a great addition. Through a long-term approach the young people are gradually taking on more responsibility for the place and the play area. Hereby we would like the playground sustainable conservation and increase the motor and organizational skills of children and adolescents.
I appreciate your support.
you have questions you can contact me at any time.
Thank
Matthias
