Just like Gene Kelly did.....dance in the rain. Remember the good old days movies!! Now all they make is murder and mayhem and I could care less for them. I loved the movies of the past with music and love and when you left the movie, you felt so happy! Remember?

A Difficult Place
September 20, 2013

When a sudden change in technology made his job obsolete, a highly trained scientist found himself working in a fast-food restaurant. One evening after our Bible study he described the situation as difficult and humbling. He said, “One good thing I can say is that the young people there seem very interested in my faith.” A member of the group responded, “I admire you for being humble. I know your faith must have something to do with it.”

Like my acquaintance, Philip may have wondered why God would pull him off an assignment in Samaria (Acts 8:4-8) and plop him in the middle of the desert (v.26). But then he found that the Ethiopian needed help understanding the Scriptures (vv.27-35), and his place made sense.

When Jesus promised He would never leave us alone (Matt. 28:20; Heb. 13:5), He meant in the hard times as well as in the good times. Our mission in the difficult seasons of life is to work or serve remembering we are doing it for God, and then to watch as God works to accomplish His purposes.

Look for God in your difficult place and discover what He’s doing in and through you there.

Disappointment—His appointment,
No good thing will He withhold;
From denials oft we gather
Treasures of His love untold. —Young

What’s better than answers to our why questions? Trusting a good God who has His reasons.

Read: Acts 8:4-8,26-35

I will never leave you nor forsake you. —Hebrews 13:5

Bible in a Year:
Ecclesiastes 4-6; 2 Corinthians 12

So glad you’re getting your rain!!

Meg, I can’t remember when I was last in a movie theater but its been a loooong time! Guess there’s enough movies on regular t.v. and you can rent a favorite but I haven’t done that in a long time When hubby was here, we rented quite a few!

I love murder mysteries a lot, too! And catching the bad guy is the best!!

On my way to Hardee’s now! I’m hungry this morning! So glad I live close to so many eating places. I always order at the window and bring mine home though.

A Prize For Peace
September 21, 2013

Alfred Nobel made a fortune from the invention of dynamite, which changed the course of warfare. Perhaps because of the horrors that wars inflicted with the use of dynamite, he made a provision in his will for a prize to be given annually to those who work to promote peace. Today it’s called the Nobel Peace Prize.

God’s expression of peace to the world was His Son. When Jesus was born, the angels’ clear, unmistakable message to the shepherds was “on earth peace, goodwill toward men” (Luke 2:14).

The biblical definition of peace is, first of all, peace with God (Rom. 5:1). Sin makes us enemies with God (v.10), but Jesus’ coming to this earth and dying on the cross turned away God’s wrath. We can now be reconciled with Him. Having put right our relationship with God, Jesus now enables us to work at breaking down the barriers between us and others.

Another kind of peace is having the peace of God (Phil. 4:7). There is no need to be anxious about anything, for we are told that we can make our requests known to Him.

Having brought peace, Jesus is now seated at the right hand of the Father (Heb. 12:2). Today, we can have peace with God and the peace of God.

Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild—
God and sinners reconciled!” —Wesley

True peace is not the absence of war; it is the presence of God. —Loveless

Read: Ephesians 2:11-18

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. —John 16:33

Bible in a Year:
Ecclesiastes 7-9; 2 Corinthians 13
