December 17th People Reflections

Saturday 12/17/2005

Philippians 4-May God our Father be praised forever and ever. Amen.

Ezekiel 24-and they will know that I am the LORD

Isaiah 52-The LORD God of Israel will lead and protect you from enemy attacks.

Romans 16.25-27-be strengthened according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages but is now disclosed

Isaiah 6.1-7-yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!

Psalm 76-Glorious are you, more majestic than the everlasting mountains.

"That’s not how you are supposed to shop!"—My girls trying to tell me how to shop- that waste your time shopping- looking randomly stuff- that’s how they say you are supposed to shop! – Whew! – I’m not sure I get that! – anyway sometimes I think God shows us how to live – how to have faith- how to be his child – but I don’t get it- I wander around shopping- just looking – and then I realize that God has provided for all I need anyway- I don’t even need to shop- I can stop all that nonsense and praise God forever and ever because he has taken care of me forever and ever- I just need to realize all this and accept his graceful gift and be free to see him where I can’t believe I’m seeing him- right here with me- more glorious than the everlasting mountains- a mystery that has been revealed- a God that protects me and saves me –I wonder if many years ago the people knew that the baby before their eyes in poor living conditions was the Savior- I’ll bet most didn’t – but there were a few that did- and look how many there are today that realize that God is with us—"That’s not how you are supposed to shop!"- Hey – I don’t even need to shop- The real gift is right here with me- I need to advertise- not shop!

Prayer- Lord Jesus- I love you and thank you for your loving care of all creation. -- Amen
