The View From My Window - Habakkuk 2:1-4

Habakkuk 2 King James Version (KJV)

2 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

My computer table is situated in front of a window.  The view from my window is lovely.  I can see the tall trees behind my garage.  I see the fluffy green bushes and green grass in my yard.  I hear the raindrops falling, "pitter pit, pitter pit."  I hear crickets singing.  This is the current view from my window.  It is a calming view.  It is a peaceful view, the view from my window.
There is another view.  This one visionary.  I see the Lord at work.  Rain washing over souls.  Cleansing. Thoughtful tribulation.  Tribulation that makes you stop in your tracks and ponder.  Washing.  Terrific trials.  Great magnitude and relentless in their delivery.  Washed. Soaked. Rinsed. Final spin.  God says "weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning."
The view from my window.  A glorious view.  Heavenly. That is where my sights are set.  One day after enough spins in life's "dryer cycles." Low. Medium. High heat.  Suddenly, "wrinkle free" I'll emerge.  No more trials.  Troubles will be over.  Faith filled, this view from my window.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
