Love

Subject: thought

WE KNOW HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US, AND WE HAVE PUT OUR TRUST IN HIS LOVE. GOD IS LOVE, AND ALL WHO LIVE IN LOVE LIVE IN GOD AND GOD IN THEM.  -I John 4:16 NLT 

We see evidence of this in human behavior in response to need of others everyday. It happens in small and unseen ways and in large outpouring of aid.

Isaac Watts

> "O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home!" (Psalm 90-Isaac Watts, 1674-1748) It is a deeply moving experience to hear the congregation sing this great hymn of the church. Come what may, "Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." (Psalm 90:1,2) This scripture is the basis of Isaac Watts hymn. These thoughts "put the right foot forward" for beginning this day, as the winds of Irma howl.

Journey/Faith

I can offer a commentary each morning on the state of the world and what is wrong with politics, morality, etc….but when all is said nothing changes and maybe I have revealed my ignorance. What I can do that is in keeping with my sense of call in life is speak words of encouragement, hope, love, forgiveness……None of this stops the wrong of life but it offers hope and inner light for making our way through the off beat experiences in which we find ourselves. As I share the word I feel moved to speak maybe you will overhear something that is helpful to you…..after all, my words are more confessional than didactic. —— I am on a journey that no-one  can walk but me and I walk in faith. In faith I experience unseen Presence == I pray for you in your journey!!!
