We have a few snowflakes flying here, but after checking the radar, the real snow trouble is south of us in Illinois. Thank goodness. I need a break from plowing. 😅

Recovering What’s Lost

Bible in a Year:

But David found strength in the Lord his God.

1 Samuel 30:6 At the phone store, the young pastor steeled himself for bad news. His smartphone, accidentally dropped during our Bible class, was a total loss, right? Actually, no. The store clerk recovered all of the pastor’s data, including his Bible videos and photos. She also recovered “every photo I’d ever deleted,” he said. The store also “replaced my broken phone with a brand-new phone.” As he said, “I recovered all I had lost and more.”

David once led his own recovery mission after an attack by the vicious Amalekites. Spurned by Philistine rulers, David and his army discovered the Amalekites had raided and burned down their town of Ziklag—taking captive “the women and everyone else in it,” including all their wives and children (1 Samuel 30:2–3). “So David and his men wept aloud until they had no strength left to weep” (v. 4). The soldiers were so bitter with their leader David that they talked of “stoning him” (v. 6).

“But David found strength in the Lord his God” (v. 6). As God promised, David pursued the Amalekites and “recovered everything the Amalekites had taken . . . . Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or anything else they had taken. David brought everything back” (vv. 18–19). As we face spiritual attacks that “rob” us even of hope, may we find renewed strength in God. He will be with us in every challenge of life.

Reflect & Pray

What spiritual attacks or life loss are you experiencing? Turning from your despair to God, how will you find renewed strength in Him?

God, help me to find hope in You even as I face life’s challenges.

Well, Church was nice, but I got caught in a blizzard going home.

I’m home safe now, but it was white-knuckle driving allk the way home.

Ugh!

Here, it’s hovering around 32, which means the snow is wet, sloppy, and sticky all at the same time.

Tomorrow’s my Cape-Cod run, and I don’t want to cancel again. Grrrr.

Well, I have a big workday Monday as well. I just spent hours shoveling out my car. I sure hope I don’t have to do it again tomorrow.

Oh boy. Hours in my Bobcat moving snow is luxury compared to hours with a shovel. 😕

I only shoveled for a little while today. Had to dig my new little evergreens out of snow drifts. Could not find the smallest one. It’s a cedar, so probably tough enough to survive.

My Rhododendrons are crushed...but they are native to the Himalayas, so they will probably survive too.

Trust the Light

Bible in a Year:

Believe in the light . . . so that you may become children of light.

John 12:36 The weather forecast said bomb cyclone. That’s what happens when a winter storm rapidly intensifies as the atmospheric pressure drops. By the time night fell, the blizzard conditions made the highway to the Denver airport almost impossible to see. Almost. But when it’s your daughter who’s flying home to visit, you do what you have to do. You pack extra clothes and water (just in case you get stranded on the highway), drive very slowly, pray without ceasing, and last but not least, trust your headlights. And sometimes you can achieve the almost impossible. 

Jesus foretold of a storm on the horizon, one that would involve His death (John 12:31–33), and one that would challenge His followers to stay faithful and serve (v. 26). It was going to get dark and be almost impossible to see. Almost. So what did Jesus tell them to do? Believe, or trust, the Light (v. 36). That was the only way they could keep going forward and stay faithful.

Jesus would only be with them a little while longer. But believers have His Spirit as our constant guide to light the way. We too will face dark times when it’s almost impossible to see the way ahead. Almost. But by believing, or trusting in the Light, we can press on.

Reflect & Pray

What dark season have you been through lately? How did Jesus, the Light, help you keep going?

Jesus, thank You for being the light in my darkness. Help me to trust and keep going.
