Very fitting. I was recently at the Creation Museum with a
group from our Church.
God’s Power Principle for Today:
“How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, Who
announces salvation, And says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Isaiah. 52:7).
Wow, Lord, How magnificent are your
ways. What fabulously beautiful mosaics You paint!
The world looks so clean and
gives an aura of perfection when You cover the earth with Your white
tapestries. It reminds me of the verse that one day soon You will cover
the earth with your glory as the waters cover the sea. (Habakkuk 2:14)
Question? Do you have some very
special memories that you have tucked away in your heart and mind when you felt
especially close to God? Ones that you can pull up when the
rubber-is-hitting-the-road and the alligators are snapping at your heels.
I have a bunch of them that are so
very special to me. The first that day I stood at the foot of the mighty
majestic Teton Mountains is etched that a panoramic picture in my mind and has
not faded in the thirty years, since that day. Another is the day I was
walking through the Village campus and came to a cluster of trees that was blue
with thousands of blue birds making their way to their winter homes. Another is
the day I happened to come across a butterfly that was working its way out of
its cocoon.
All beautiful blessings that Father
God arranged just for me at a time when I needed to see His handiwork in
action. These were very special experiences, but I have also learned
there is never a day goes by when I do not see God's handwork in action, if my
mind is tuned into seeking God's miracles.
Frustrated, Habakkuk cries out,
"How long will I cry out and You will not hear?” God's response, “Look
around! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Did the
sun not come up this morning? Are the heavens not in place? Have I
not provided for your daily bread?” Have you cried out recently, ‘O Lord, Our
Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth. Who have displayed Your
splendor above the heavens’" (Psalm. 8:1).
The world is being shaken so that
everything that can be shaken will be removed and only those things that cannot
be shaken will remain. Hebrews 12:27. But, in the midst of that shaking,
as Christians the only things that has changed is "When these things
happen, Look up for your redemption draws nearer” Luke 21:28, Matthew 224..
We get apprehensive when we read of the atrocities happening, but the fact
remains, "It is not our battle "for the battle is the Lord's" (2
Chronicles 20:15).
Soooo, my good fellow warriors, yes,
it does look like the sky is falling (2014)and I feel so very sad for those who do
not know the Lord Jesus as Savior, for the days must look very gloomy. But for
those whose name is listed in the Lamb's Book of Life- we have Abba Father's
assurance that He will never leave us or forsake us! God’s promise to
us: "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and
through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the
fires, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you For I am the Lord
Your God!" (Isaiah. 43:2-3.
Blessings,

Remember to PRAY for Our Country,
Victims of Hurricane Helene, & Israel Wisdom from God. They are recognizing God’s covering and turning
to Him. Gma
