Great morning! How are we faithing? What a relaxing time for the past week! Taking time off from everything is good for the body and soul. Do you ever have time to slow down and really see all that is around us? I meet people all the time who can't see anything but what is right in front of them, as if they wear blinders as a work horse does. They don't enjoy their work. They are not thankful for what they have but rather pursue bigger and better all the time. This can be problematic because as time passes that life can become about the pursuit without enjoyment or peace daily. Working towards a goal is fine but missing the scenery on the way is sad. My bride and myself always take time to notice flowers and vegetation amongst our travels because the divine nature and the beauty of a simple plant can make one pause to realize just how grand God is. Look at the Lupine; tall and strong in times of bad weather, beautiful colors and exquisite formations of growth and yet in certain areas...a weed. If you do not recharge with the Word every day, speak to your heavenly Father and not just for requests, notice things other than yourself , those blinders get bigger and bigger and before you know it you are so focused on you you fail to see the savior walking with you. Just pause today and take notice of all that has been given rather than what is not.
Judges 5:31
"Thus let all Thine enemies perish, O LORD;
But let those who love Him be like the rising of the sun in its might."
NAS
Daniel 12:3
"And those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
NAS
Matthew 5:14
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
NAS
1 Peter 2:1-4
Therefore, putting aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord.
NAS
1 Peter 1:14-16
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."
NAS
Psalms 103:5
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
NAS
Remember who God is today...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for providing rest. Thank you for safe travel. Lord we lift those up who are so heavy laden with worldly woes, let them see those woes for what they are and help them seek you over man. Lord lift up those who are suffering. I ask for a blessing and healing for Kathy, in Jesus name, amen
