Sand, Snow, THE Rock

“[For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. He sang to
the LORD the words of this song when the LORD delivered him from the hand of all
his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:]

I love you, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”- Psalm 18:1-2

With all the snow in Indiana today (another 4 inches yesterday) instead of singing the foolish man builds his house on the sand, we could sing, "the foolish man builds his house on the snow." Snow is very unstable. Probably more unstable than sand to build a house on.

The world around us is very unstable and it will melt away over time. I want to build my house (hopes, dreams, future) on the Rock. The verse above gives us that Rock....Jesus also reaffirms that He is the Rock of eternal life. Jesus also said even the gates of Hell could not topple it over....That is where my house is built!

You know I love the snow....but I also love you - Don

Indiana Snow - Gotta Love It!

Lost in the Snow - Friday funny

Well it is Friday....we made it. Not too hard this week in Indiana. 11.5 inches of snow and a lot of fun. I hope to have pictures of it up some day. This is a snow funny I found. Enjoy and have a great Friday.

An atheist got lost in her car in a snow storm. She remembered what her dad had once told her. "If you ever get stuck in a snow storm, wait fora snow plow and follow it." Pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing. She explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in the snow, to follow a plow.The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Wal-Mart parking lot, now you can follow me over to K-Mart."

What is God doing?

"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." - John 4:23-24

It is interesting that people will often ask the question, "where was God?" or "what was God doing?" when they hit a crisis. Many times I will listen to a believer that is lamenting over a crisis and genuinely hurting and these type of question will come up...."where was God?" Now, in their defense, when a person is grieving or hurting many times our faith is not in question, but a time of anger leads to a time of righteous venting.

But lets ask the question for our dialogue...."What is God doing?" John 4 reveals to us that God is seeking worshipers. Worship is declaring how much God is worth. God is seeking worshipers that will worship in spirit....that is to give their souls, minds, and hearts to God and His Holy Spirit. Worshiping in truth is to worship Him with our strength...are we willing to push the plow, sow the seed, take a meal to the hurting, reach out to the widow, take in the orphan, and love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

Today I reflect on the spirit and truth in my life. Do I truly worship the God I love in Spirit and Truth? When I fail Him I cling to His grace and when I succeed I give Him the glory.

Words to live by - you know I love ya - Don

PS - All the snow in Indiana today reminds me that the blood of Christ washes my sin as white as snow! Praise the Lord it is beautiful!
