If anyone is reading this blog, this was the post for Wednesday 10/21/2020. I got preoccupied with a project around the house and forgot to post it but feel that it is good enough that I don't want it on the blog... so you will get two entries today. I won't be "tweeting it though...

Good morning,

Today’s photo comes from Celebrate Recovery. I share it because I have gotten in the habit of sharing a photo of God’s creation everyday and today I wanted to emphasize your part in it all.

For many, we look at the immensity of the universe and the wonder of the heavens and the landscapes of our earth and instead of seeing the truth of the Creator God, we see ourselves as insignificant beings in a vast but cold heartless universe that will all just wind down and die one day.

This is a lie. While science will confirm things do fall apart over time, the explanations of how things started are much less certain.

God started it all and He will have a say in how things end.

But today’s point isn’t creation, today’s point is our relationship to the God who created it all and sought to make peace with mankind through Jesus Christ.

For those who believe, please realize the immensity of the gift God has given you. Although the world has seemed to gone mad and the cycles of life and death seem to point to our doom and destruction, Christ rose from the dead to show that He was God and He has authority over death and creation.

So don’t lose hope. Remember, that although we don’t fully understand how things will play out, we have the assurance of life eternal through our faith in Christ.

Our salvation is only the beginning of living out the new life Christ has given us. When we follow Him and walk in the Spirit we enjoy love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.

These fruit of the Spirit are to be grown in our lives and it all starts with the knowledge that there is a ultimate meaning and purpose to our lives: to know Christ, to make Him known, and to follow where He leads us.

So be grateful, rejoice, and live!

God bless you all!
