Sustainer of Blessings

Bible in a Year:

• Exodus 25–26
• Matthew 20:17–34

Remember the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 8:18

On January 15, 1919, a huge molasses tank burst in Boston. A fifteen-foot wave of more than two million gallons of molasses careened through the street at over 30 mph, sweeping away railcars, buildings, people, and animals. Molasses might seem harmless enough, but that day it was deadly: 21 people lost their lives with more than 150 injured.

Sometimes even good things—like molasses—can overwhelm us unexpectedly. Before the Israelites entered the land God promised them, Moses  warned the people to be careful not to take credit for the good things they’d receive: “When you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase . . . , then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God.” They weren’t to attribute this wealth to their own strength or capabilities. Instead, Moses said, “Remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth” (Deuteronomy 8:12–14, 17–18).  

All good things—including physical health and the skills needed to earn a living—are blessings from the hand of our loving God. Even when we’ve worked hard, it’s He who sustains us. Oh, to hold our blessings with open hands, that we may gratefully praise God for His kindness to us!

Howdy, Lauren and Night Owls!
Hope you aren't slippin' 'n' slidin' tonight.
DFW definitely has an ice storm at this time.
We're "supposed" to, but it's just cold here.
Great Road Trip.
I had never heard of it, truthfully.
I've just never been to that corner of Texas.
Hope all y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
(((hugs)))

[radu]

Howdy, lauren *Hugz*
I hope you aren’t getting slammed with icy weather.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Did y’all take a dive into the deep freeze? We’re going to JUST miss out on it by the hair on our chinny chin chins.

[laurenmarlowe]

Icy today for sure, and gonna get slammed tomorrow.

Y’all stay safe!

*MUCHO HUGS*

[luvie]

We aren’t getting out much and I hope you don’t have to either. I saw some video this afternoon and it looked like an ice rink on the highways.

[PROCON]

Yo radu!

Yeah, we're back into the cold winter temps, should improve as the week progresses.

Just staying inside and being lazy although I do need to make a quick shopping trip tomorrow, got a great fur-lined coat to keep the chill mostly off.
