All-Season Sprinkler

 

 

Do you feel like you’re in a dry season? Try the water of the Word.

 

Psalm 1:2-3 (VOICE)
For you, the Eternal’s Word is your happiness.
It is your focus—from dusk to dawn.
You are like a tree,
planted by flowing, cool streams of water
that never run dry.
Your fruit ripens in its time;
your leaves never fade or curl in the summer sun.

More than a sprinkle . . . turn on the firehose!

Tis the Season to Give God the Credit

 

 

Spring is coming. How do you know?

 

  • Birds are singing
  • Snow is melting
  • More daylight
  • It’s St, Patrick’s Day

Happens every year around this time.

Daniel 2:21 (NIV)
Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever . . . He changes times and seasons . . . He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.

Spring always follows winter. Wise and discerning folks give God the credit.

The Only Safe Shelter

 

Floods, shootings, crashes, blizzards.

Is there no safe space?

 

Psalm 91:1 (NLT)
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Wherever we are, whatever the trouble surging around us, there is safe shelter in your shadow, Lord God. Thank you for being here, no matter what, all the time.

Our Father’s Green World

  I rest me in the thought

My Green Prayer

 

Almighty God, I know my actions won’t make or break the planet. But I want to take good care of it, out of gratitude and respect for the wonders of your creation.

Whose Green Deal

 

 

What’s your take on the future of our planet?

 

  • We’re killing it, inch by inch
  • It’s come this far, it’ll keep going
  • I’m OK, and that’s enough for me

Psalm 24:1 (NIV)
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.

Our planet is His planet. He created it. And us. It’s the original green deal.

Tornado Shelter

 

A week ago, 39 tornados swept across portions of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. One tornado injured 97 people and caused 23 deaths in Lee County, Alabama. 

 

“Since Monday, March 4, Samaritan’s Purse has been on the ground in Lee County helping homeowners in Jesus’ Name as communities grieve so much loss.”

Lord, we lift up those who lost possessions, loved ones and their assurance of safety. May they find comfort in the shelter of your love–and in the help from Samaritan’s Purse and other volunteers who care.
