My son-in-law, Jeremy Parzen, sent me this picture he took while working in Italy. A beautiful sunrise scene that has a beautiful promise in it.
Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16
91:1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,
91:2 will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”
91:3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence;
91:4 he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
91:5 You will not fear the terror of the night, or the arrow that flies by day,
91:6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
91:14 Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name.
91:15 When they call to me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue them and honor them.
91:16 With long life I will satisfy them, and show them my salvation.
Do you see what verse 14 says, “Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name”. A wonderful promise from God that says no matter what “trouble” we are faced with He will be with us. There are many ways to show our love for God and I believe the most important is that we love our neighbor. When we reach out to the world through our wealth and our time we are giving back to God and showing the world how important He is to us. Take the time to look at the Missions and other charities your church supports, pray for God to lead you into a giving relationship with that Mission and become active in the work of that Mission.
Work with the children in your Church. God wants us to show our love for Him by raising our children with the values He has given us. Jesus always welcomed the children and gave them special attention. Teaching Sunday School is a good way for the children and yourself to learn more about God the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit that we worship.
Have a blessed day and week,
