This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 It's a lovely early fall afternoon. I was in the chapel for most of the morning in order to help set-up for and then attend our Sunday worship service... The seasons seem to pass quickly these days. Summer is over and autumn is on its way. And since it's now getting noticeably colder, on many nights I could smell the scent of wood smoke as it wafts across the hills from wood stoves and chimneys of homes that are down in the valley...
"...howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing."
Nehemiah 13:2b Nehemiah was a God-fearing Jewish man who oversaw the rebuilding of the walls surrounding the city of Jerusalem... Beloved, think it not strange concerning
the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings... I Peter 4:12-13a Anyone who truly wants to give up his own life to serve the Lord Jesus Christ may as well be prepared to endure persecutions and trials and many difficult ordeals, oftentimes in the most unexpected ways... And he called his ten servants
and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, "Occupy till I come." Luke 19:13 I have such a deep longing to be with the Lord that I will never be fully satisfied until the day comes when I shall see Jesus face-to-face... At the present time I am going through a period of fervent prayer because I must make a major decision...
