July 5th Daily Word and Visions from God

July 5th Daily Word and Visions from God
Mark 13.1-13-Stay with it--that's what is required.
1 Kings 6-About this Temple you are building--what's important is that you live the way I've set out for you and do what I tell you, following my instructions carefully and obediently.
Hosea 8-Blow the trumpet! Sound the alarm!
Tobit 7.16-8.18-Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors, and blessed is your name in all generations forever.
Ecclesiastes 9.11-18-So I decided that wisdom is better than strength...

A place to rest. To curl up and take a nap. A place to get comfortable and warm. Then after refreshment. After restoration it's time to get up and stay with it. Blow the trumpet and sound the alarm! Time to get up and go for God. That's what God requires. God grants the rest and restoration we need and then life in him goes on. We continue to build the temple. We continue to do what God instructs us to do with our lives. And this has been going on for generations. God has blessed us with his calling and gifts all through time. And in this blessing God grants the wisdom and strength we need to carry on his work for his purpose.

Lord, use me this day and thanks for the time to restore. -- Amen
