March 5, 2017 - Son-shine

The sun is finally shining where I am, albeit only 18 degrees. I miss my warmer climate and will be happy when we return. Each of us throughout the world  experience different climates throughout our lives. Some days the path ahead is clear and welcoming. Others, we must buffer ourselves to the elements. In all moments, we must remember that the light of our savior is always shining. And, once the clouds roll away, we will be able to see where He was the buffer that placed His power before us. He is our strength. He is our shield. Let us rest in the light of His mercy.

The Lord GOD is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds' feet, And makes me walk on my high places. – Habakkuk 3:19a

September 26 - God's Will

Many times we hear the phrase, “It will happen, God willing.” The powerful force of God’s Will should precede all thoughts and actions.  Yet, how often do we sit back, inactive and passive, deeming a deed is the Will of God? Throughout history, God’s Will has been carried out through the active roll of people. Ours is not a world of quick fixes and earthly marvels. God works through mankind, not around him and we should be quick to embrace His Will and be determined to make it happen.– Becki

 

So, since Yahweh has chosen you to build a house for His sanctuary, go resolutely to work! – 1 Chronicles 28:9
