August 19^th Daily Word and Visions from God

John 4.1-26-So how are you going to get this "living water"?

1 Chronicles 15.1-16.7-

They brought the Chest of God and placed it right in the center of the tent that David had pitched for it; then they worshiped by presenting burnt offerings and peace offerings to God.

Zechariah 4-

The seven lamps are the eyes of GOD probing the dark corners of the world like searchlights.

Ephesians 5.15-20-

Instead be filled with the Spirit.

My son and daughter, Bryan and Sarah. We stopped for the evening on a trip returning Sarah to Hickory North Carolina to attend Lenoir-Rhyne College. We had traveled the evening from Ohio to southern Virginia. Sarah was providing water for her hamster. A time to rest. A time to reflect. A time to travel in faith that God would be with us. God would guide us. God would bless us. God blesses in so many ways. Blesses with his living water. The same water Jesus promised at the well years ago. Water that brings life. Water that brings a pause to rest. But water that refreshes and brings life and action for me as I Go—They brought the Chest of God and placed it in the center of the tent. The Chest of God on the move. Travelling too. But I must learn to keep God centered for me also when I travel. I must Go where God shows me to go. I must because in great joy, I am glad to Go- to move- Because I know that I can trust in God. Trust in his Spirit and trust in the eyes of God above my own. God leads in life in all my travel. Yea, stop and rest for the night- refreshed by that Living Water- then Go—travel on in God’s plan for life.

Jesus, thanks for that refreshing Living Water of life you freely give- refreshed, I am overjoyed to GO for you today ---Amen

August 20^th Daily Word and Visions from God

John 4.27-42-

I Have food to eat you know nothing about.

1 Chronicles 16.8-43-

Give thanks to GOD, for his love never quits.

Zechariah 5-

What in the world is that!

John 6.51-58-

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day.

This is a bottle cap that Sarah found at Drips, a coffee shop in Hickory North Carolina. Drink Cheerwine! Reminds me of Communion. Cheerwine- the body and blood of Christ. Food I can’t understand really. Food I know nothing about. But a Food of blessing. A food that causes be to give thanks to God for his love that never quits. I take in the body and blood of Christ in the bread and wine and have to wonder---What in the world is that! God is amazing. God comes to me in his Son. God comes to me in flesh. God comes to me as a baby. God comes to me as manna from heaven. Bread from heaven. Jesus gives his blood for my sin. Jesus gives his life for me. Cheerwine—the blood and wine of eternal joy. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day. Cheerwine, in a Coffee Shop in Hickory NC—Thanks be to God for the gift of my Savior and for Cheerwine.

I give eternal thanks to you, Father, for your Son. He gave his all for me. Lead me this day to point to you. ---Amen
