Well, the Toppers got another good win last night. It is not often you get to see your running back run a 96 yard TD run after stopping the other team all 4 downs inside the 5. When that fellow hit the gap, he had defensive backs pursuing him and he outran them. A footrace- almost even at the 50- and he left them. Congrats, boys! I know the Friday devotion does not do it all. Ya'll have to play and coach too!
Well, doesn't Lamentations pick you up (www.lifejournal.cc). Lamentations is the mourning of a people over their nation which has fallen. There is little there that brings a lot of encouragement. Revelation 15 is an interlude passage. Really it is setting us up for the chapters to come.
I hope you did not miss the beam of light in the midst of the ashes of Lamentations. It is one of the reasons why the book is in the Bible, I believe. Lamentations 3:22-23- The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness. And you just thought it was a great ole hymn! No, that is Bible! In the midst of whatever woes you, in the midst of the waiting upon God to respond in His Time, we should all be reminded to wait upon the Lord. He is not finished yet. He is still on top of it. His faithfulness is much greater than ours, regardless how devout we may think we are. He is in the midst, right there with you!
Lord, help us to trust you, to sense your presence, and to be faithful in the meantime!
I pray that you trust all day long!! And have a good one.
