Through A Glass Darkly

"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."  1 Corinthians 13:12

I am sitting in my home office looking out the window.  The sun is bright today.  The snow is fluffy and white. It is a pretty picture.  This I see with my natural eyes.  By contrast, my mind and spirit consider another glass, another window.  This window is hard to see through.  It provides glimpses of what is taking place in the world today. I cannot make sense of some of what I see.  

I am viewing through a glass darkly.  This glass can only be enlightened by the Spirit of God.  This glass is overcast by a pandemic.  It is overshadowed by unimaginable grief.  It is tinted by doubt and sometimes despair.  But wait, there is a glimmer.  Hope and faith in God are illuminating.  It is through His light that I can see through the glass There is a vision.  It exists as we consider all we see through the Word of God.

The songwriter wrote: "On up the road, far in the distance. We can see a light shining through the night. It's penetrating, life's heavy fog. For it is Jesus! Yes, He conquers all."  Although we may not understand all that is happening or why, we can still take courage.  Nothing is hidden from God.  He creates calm in the chaos.  I am learning, repeatedly, this lesson, God is.  He is the Lord of All.  Every circumstance, every challenge is subject to the Authority of God. God is.

I am convinced that through clear or darkened windows, God is.  The scripture declares: For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, neither hid, that shall not be known. - Luke 12:2 I can live without fear whatever the condition of the glass or window for I know God is.  God is with me.

in Christ,

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
