Snow

Sometimes it's a cold day outside. Sometimes it's hard to get by. Sometimes things are difficult. Why? is what we all ask.

I think this is where Jesus smiles.
I believe it's because humans where never meant to live there life alone. They were meant to ask all there worries and fears on God. To help each other.

It's funny how God works. Even in the old Testament we find the following words. "though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" Isaiah 1:18b

My bible mentions "Scarlet was the most permanent of ancient dyes, one that no laundering could remove. Isaiah says God can do the impossible and cleanse sinners, even though the stain of their sin is as fixed as scarlet dye."

2 Ch 7:14

2 Chronicles 7:14
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I well hear form heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." NKJV

I was struck by this verse when a preacher pointed out the order of things in this verse. The first thing is to humble ourselves, pray and seek God's face. Then we turn from our wicked ways. Then God from heaven will hear us and forgive us and heal our land.

Sometimes we get get caught up in being pure before God, but here it is the reverse. Humble ourselves before God and seek his face first. Pray to the almighty and turn from our wicked ways. Then God reaches from the almighty heaven and touches our lives.

Wherever

I am struck by the story of Daniel. How he trusts in God through out all the circumstances in his life. It would be so easy to follow the King's orders, to bow down an worship idols. But even in his position of control and success he continues to trust God.

I am also struck by Joseph. The same thing happens with him. He could have easily conformed with the culture around him but he says no. He serves God even in the prison and even as second to Pharaoh.

It's like they are saying with their life that no matter what I serve God first. The rest it doesn't matter where I am and what I am doing. I serve God. I love God.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 ESV If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. (2) And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. (3) If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

God you rule above everything,
God you are my God.
God lead us
God bless us
God speak to us
