I wish I had my camera already! The moon this morning was just gorgeous, and all I could think of was "it's a promise moon, God is good!"
I couldn't help but notice. I walked outside, meaning to go start the car to take the kids to school, and that moon took my breath away.
Today is going to be tough, with a number of things to do that I just do NOT want to do, but it's okay. Seems small in the big picture, as most things we worry about are!
God definitely uses natural means to communicate with his creation! That was simply wonderful, and something I won't forget for a long time.
I believe we're heading into a scary but exciting time in this world. As Christians, we have a reason to hope. I will be eternally (literally eternally!) grateful for that hope, and strive to keep up my faith that God works all things for good.
It's a time we need to be encouraging others, forgetting pettiness and doing our best to encourage and uphold other believers.
Spent a bit of time in prayer this morning, and know it's time to hold on tight to our God, following his direction no matter what, and doing our best to lift others up and not let them fall.
You're so right, RS, but may we be more than a little aware also that it is our God Who is holding on tight - to us!
Certainly agree with you when you say, "I believe we're heading into a scary but exciting time in this world." If you want a clear view of God's purposes, its a good idea to keep focussed on Him, so easy to loose sight of the fact that Jesus through His Spirit promised never to leave or forsake us, lets all as His children hold on to daddy's hand a little tighter, and hide under the shadow of His wings.
With a government here in England, trying to bring in the mark of the beast through microchipping, promote what God calls abomination, and make criminals and terrorists out us all, as well as making it a criminal offence to quote scripture from the Bible. We certainly need a sense of God's enduring presence.
