"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."(John 14:27)

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare of the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I am trusting Him."(Psalm 91:1-2)

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"Isaiah 6:8

Dear Father, Thank you for this Day! Thank you for Your Love! Thank you for the commitment each of our service men and women have made to serve our country. Thank you for the sacrifices they make every day! Restore their faith and renew their strength daily as they face the enemy of peace. Bless them ... and guide them in all of their ways. Bless the hearts of all the families, Father. May they be comforted by the knowledge that we are all so deeply grateful for their willingness to serve. May Your compassion and love be poured out through each of us as we do our part to carry out Your Will! Make Your Love to Shine through us! God, You are the answer to all our concerns. Please continue to watch over and deliver our steps. Wake Up the People, Father, and please continue to bless our Beloved United States of America! We thank you for the promise of eternal life! In the name of Jesus, our Comforter and Friend, Amen.

Seasons Of Ups And Downs
September 19, 2011

Most of us would agree that life has its ups and downs. Wise King Solomon believed this and reflected on our responses to fluctuating circumstances. In Ecclesiastes, he wrote: “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: . . . a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance” (3:1-4).

Solomon’s father, David, was called “a man after [God’s] own heart” (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22). Yet David’s life illustrates how life is filled with seasons of ups and downs. David wept over his and Bathsheba’s first child who was fatally ill (2 Sam. 12:22). Yet he also wrote songs of praise and joyous laughter (Ps. 126:1-3). With the death of his rebellious son Absalom, David experienced a time of deep mourning (2 Sam. 18:33). And when the ark was brought to Jerusalem, David, in spiritual ecstasy, danced before the Lord (2 Sam. 6:12-15).

We do a disservice to ourselves and others when we portray the Christian life as peaceful and happy all the time. Instead, the Bible portrays the believer’s life as consisting of seasons of ups and downs. In what season are you? Whether a time of joy or sadness, each season should motivate us to seek the Lord and trust Him.

Dear Lord, help us to turn to You not only in sadness
but also in joy. We know You give us both good times
and bad to draw us to You and help us grow.
May we learn to trust You in all seasons of life. Amen.

Every season needs faith to get us through it.

Read: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. —Ecclesiastes 3:4

Bible in a year:
Ecclesiastes 1-3; 2 Corinthians 11:16-33
