Beatle songs: Strawberry Fields Forever

 Beatle songs: Strawberry Fields Forever by ric gustafson


While John was acting in a movie in the autumn of 1966, he began to compose a song. He wanted to write a slow talking blues number. Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army orphanage five minutes from his home. On walks with his aunt Mimi, they would walk by this huge Victorian building. The wooded grounds of this place became a magical playground for John and his friends. With his lost childhood, this place became bliss to him. The song was released in Feb 1967
This song and ' Penny Lane' were on a double A side. They were not on the new album. That album was ' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.

Gabriel and the young angel listened as Jesus talked to his disciples.
" Do not worry about your daily needs".
The disciples smiled.
" Learn from the flowers of the field". He smiled. " They do not toil or spin".
Simon Peter grinned. " Master, not to labor or toil is good news".
Mary smiled at Jesus's feet.
Martha, in the kitchen preparing a meal, was getting upset because her sister was not helping her.
Jesus again looked with love at his disciples. " Learn a lesson from the flowers of the field".
All of a sudden, a frustrated Martha was standing next to Jesus.
" Master, are you not concerned that my sister does not help me with this meal?". She looked sternly at Mary. " Tell her to get up and help me".
" You are right Martha". He smiled. " You should not have to prepare this meal alone".
After the meal, Jesus helped the two ststers clean up.

 Fear: he will make my paths straight by ric gustafson


God has a plan and an outline for our life. Satan the Accuser tries to convince us that God will be a no show in our life. He wants us to doubt his power and love. Satan tries to derail God's plan for us. Proverbs 3:6 says that he will make your paths straight.
When we cry out to God, he hears us. God works all things in our favor. God has us right where he wants us. Praise God's name.

It is easy for our spiritual life to erode. Reading Scripture could get stale. Prayer could get stale. We could start to avoid the Holy Spirit. It is tempting for spiritual laziness.

 Fear: with all my heart by ric gustafson


We all have a desire to be in control. If we control the situation, we will have a desired outcome. No matter how hard we try to be in control, we are not. We try to gain control through bad habits. 
Jesus says something different about control. Proverbs 3:5 says trust in the Lord with all your heart. The need to control could be idolatry. If we trust something other than God, he says give it me. Give your life to the one who controls your life. I trust in the Lord with all my heart.

Worry can cause us a lot of trouble. It can cause you fear and steal your dreams. Satan the Accuser will tell us that we can not break free from worry. Worrying too much can become our boss and ruin our life. Worrying affects our brain, body and emotions.
Jesus tells us not to worry. According to Matthew 6:27, worrying doesn't add a single hour to our life. Prayer can help us get away from worrying. Using prayer, we can give our worrying to God. The truth is God loves us more than anything else.

Tragedy will come to our lives at some point. It's natural for us to think that it is our fault. In Philippians 1:2, Paul says grace and peace to you. Grace is God's favor. Grace describes God's character and actions toward his people. Grace is a gift from God. It is not earned or deserved. God bestows this gift on his children. We are his children.
Peace is the presence of someone. Grace and Peace is a blessing, an invitation and a promise.
