15:1.3 Urantia is situated in a local universe and a superuniverse not fully organized, and your local universe is in immediate proximity to numerous partially completed physical creations. You belong to one of the relatively recent universes. But you are not, today, plunging on wildly into uncharted space nor swinging out blindly into unknown regions. You are following the orderly and predetermined path of the superuniverse space level. You are now passing through the very same space that your planetary system, or its predecessors, traversed ages ago; and some day in the remote future your system, or its successors, will again traverse the identical space through which you are now so swiftly plunging.

Today
The search for signal still goes on.
Direct TV sings not it’s song.
It can’t work without a signal
It certainly is being fickle.

Oh well, the day will still be great.
We’re going to love our destined fate.
God’s in charge, so do not fear.
He has a plan to take us there.

We must have an open mind
Then it resonates with the Divine.
To look for good when in a mess,
Provides a Spirit with which we’re blessed.

God anticipates your needs.
He’s there when e’er your Spirit bleeds.
He tends your soul and plants some seeds.
His seeds will grow even with some weeds.

To grow to be upon this world
We must follow where we’re hurled.
We’re on track to spin and whirl
And learn from God so many pearls.

That’s the way our lives can be
If we choose to search for Ye.
Try to be as we perceive
Our best, and as we do, believe.

Thank You Father, for Your plan.
It will diffuse throughout this land.
Someday our lives will truly be
Perfected in eternity.

120:3.4 “3. In your relations to the social order we advise that you confine your efforts largely to spiritual regeneration and intellectual emancipation. Avoid all entanglements with the economic structure and the political commitments of your day. More especially devote yourself to living the ideal religious life on Urantia.

Commitment
Very cold the morning air.
Much to do though, if we care.
Care about some other souls.
Everybody braves the cold.

Warm the car, make sure it starts.
Do a check of all its parts.
Plan your trip to help a friend.
Then every Tuesday do again.

Anticipate the day ahead.
Try to see where you are led.
Do the best job you can do.
Accept whate’er comes back to you.

Learn how you can have effect.
Polish up your self-respect
Do the work – it must be done.
You’re finding out how God has fun!

Every moment of every day
God’s love pours through to show the way.
If you receive this Holy call
You can’t help but be enthralled!

It’s amazing what God does.
My faith in His Good has no pause.
He knows what is going to be
And shapes the love I find in me!

I love God and He loves me.
He shapes all reality.
So thank You for the way things are.
I’ll follow You and find the stars!

158:7.5 After they had recovered from the first shock of Jesus’ stinging rebuke, and before they resumed their journey, the Master spoke further: “If any man would come after me, let him disregard himself, take up his responsibilities daily, and follow me. For whosoever would save his life selfishly, shall lose it, but whosoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s, shall save it. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? What would a man give in exchange for eternal life? Be not ashamed of me and my words in this sinful and hypocritical generation, even as I will not be ashamed to acknowledge you when in glory I appear before my Father in the presence of all the celestial hosts. Nevertheless, many of you now standing before me shall not taste death till you see this kingdom of God come with power.”

Man’s Way
Another Winter day’s in store.
It’s Friday night, we won’t be bored.
A day to celebrate our week.
The Super Bowl’s a bonus treat.

Athletics do take up our time.
There is less war than in past times.
But war is now much, much more lethal.
Our skill at war knows not, it’s equal.

We should nourish life on earth.
Different ways we must put first.
I guess we’re trying to progress.
With skillful minds, we’ve all been blessed!

To do the right thing, though it means
To sacrifice, and make you lean,
Is a virtue that’s desired.
It shows that you have been inspired!

Inspiration is within.
When you’re inspired, you more than win.
No matter what the outcome be,
The Will of God makes history!

The Will of God will give you joy.
You gather fruits as love’s deployed.
Love improves all that it touches—
Helps us slow down, we’re not compulsive.

Thank You, Father, with love You lead.
Within our souls, You plant Your seeds.
As they grow our souls expand.
We will improve the ways of man.

101:1.7 Thus it may be seen that religious longings and spiritual urges are not of such a nature as would merely lead men to want to believe inGod, but rather are they of such nature and power that men are profoundly impressed with the conviction that they ought to believe inGod. The sense of evolutionary duty and the obligations consequent upon the illumination of revelation make such a profound impression upon man’s moral nature that he finally reaches that position of mind and that attitude of soul where he concludes that he has no right not to believe in God. The higher and superphilosophic wisdom of such enlightened and disciplined individuals ultimately instructs them that to doubt God or distrust his goodness would be to prove untrue to the realest and deepest thing within the human mind and soul – the divine Adjuster.

My Thinking
Rain is here to start the day.
The snow at nightfall comes our way.
A day when clouds will rule the skies.
But still there’s light to help our eyes.

We exist within some limits.
Too hot or cold, and we’d be finished.
Another place that we could be,
Is a place that we can’t see!

I’m glad we’re someplace where we are.
Heat comes from our closest star,
And we’re exactly within limits—
The comfort zone we’re in this minute!

By accident, or by God’s will?
Take some time and think. Be still!
So many accidents all in a row
Account for things that we don’t know?

A mindal force behind all things?
A light within you insight brings!
A God Creator answers why.
To understand, we must apply.

A God, to me, accounts for more
And rings with truth within its core.
The universe is mind projected.
It’s balance is just too perfected.

Thank You, Father, Your gift of life
Succeeds as each one sees Your light.
As we agree to live in peace
Your Love in this world is increased.

140:9.2 Jesus reviewed many features of the ordination sermon, delivered on this same spot, and then, calling them before him one by one, he commissioned them to go forth in the world as his representatives. The Master’s consecration charge was: “Go into all the world and preach the glad tidings of the kingdom. Liberate spiritual captives, comfort the oppressed, and minister to the afflicted. Freely you have received, freely give.”

Our Charge
Cloudy days with warmer temps.
As life goes on, we all attempt
To do as we are currently bent.
To see Your will’s a gift that’s sent.

You love us all, and we love You.
You have a plan for us to do.
All we have to do is love.
Your light will shine, all problems solved.

“Just to love” is not so easy.
This world’s complex and we’re too busy.
Impatience retards the way we learn.
We want so much, but work is spurned?

We must invest to have a future.
We must produce, not just be users.
Creating something new does both.
God creates within His host!

God asks you to be like Him.
We can unite the world we’re in.
Time it takes, but that’s His plan.
And it will happen throughout this land!

To be like Him an age or two
Must go by, yes, that is true.
We must traverse all finite goals.
Infinity defines our souls.

Thank You, Father, Your in me.
What You’re creating helps me be.
Someday I know we will go on
And I will learn to sing Your song.

PARABLE OF THE GREAT SUPPER

167:2.1 As Jesus finished speaking at the breakfast table of the Pharisee, one of the lawyers present, desiring to relieve the silence, thoughtlessly said: "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God" -- that being a common saying of those days. And then Jesus spoke a parable, which even his friendly host was compelled to take to heart. He said:
167:2.2 "A certain ruler gave a great supper, and having bidden many guests, he dispatched his servants at suppertime to say to those who were invited, `Come, for everything is now ready.' And they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said, `I have just bought a farm, and I must needs to go prove it; I pray you have me excused.' Another said, `I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go to receive them; I pray you have me excused.' And another said, `I have just married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.' So the servants went back and reported this to their master. When the master of the house heard this, he was very angry, and turning to his servants, he said: `I have made ready this marriage feast; the fatlings are killed, and all is in readiness for my guests, but they have spurned my invitation; they have gone every man after his lands and his merchandise, and they even show disrespect to my servants who bid them come to my feast. Go out quickly, therefore, into the streets and lanes of the city, out into the highways and the byways, and bring hither the poor and the outcast, the blind and the lame, that the marriage feast may have guests.' And the servants did as their lord commanded, and even then there was room for more guests. Then said the lord to his servants: `Go now out into the roads and the countryside and constrain those who are there to come in that my house may be filled. I declare that none of those who were first bidden shall taste of my supper.' And the servants did as their master commanded, and the house was filled."

167:2.4 The next day all of the apostles engaged in the philosophic exercise of endeavoring to interpret the meaning of this parable of the great supper. Though Jesus listened with interest to all of these differing interpretations, he steadfastly refused to offer them further help in understanding the parable. He would only say, “Let every man find out the meaning for himself and in his own soul.”

Today’s Highway
Below the zero mark today.
Inside is where it’s safe to play.
The outside air will freeze your tail
But well prepared, we will not fail!

On our missions, one and all.
We choose to move and climb, not fall.
As we climb perspectives change.
A higher viewpoint comes in range.

As we climb, we can see more
Something’s changing in our core.
Unconscious of the time of growth,
It is within and not remote.

Inside you there is a spark.
Let it guide as you embark
On this journey of the day.
Let it show you God’s good way.

In this world, the gears are set.
God’s the driver of this jet!
He has plans for us to soar
As He Divines our inner cores.

As we turn ourselves to Spirit,
God hears all and tries to steer it.
He tries to help us see Him better
And direct us to His splendor.

Thank You Father, help me be
My best, as You have plans for me.
I will always try to choose
A path where love can be infused.
