What a lovely day it was. The landscapes were full of the trees subtly changing colors, the colorful fields of crops ready to be harvested with others already harvested, and the gentle breezes blowing.
The LORD's beautiful creation lifted my head in His Glory.
So many difficult, sad things surround us, but we have a great God whose Son, Jesus Christ, came to save us.
One perfectly wonderful thing is that Jesus has already done it! He suffered, died, was buried, and then was raised from the grave to life again! He paid our huge debt with His own sinless life so that we could live forever with Him.
As our known world seemingly falls apart before our eyes we can know that Jesus will return His second time some day. We do not know the time or the day, but we sure know He will come. As a Christian this is our hope and our joy!
As we watch evil seemingly triumph we can continue to do what is before us, sharing with others who want to here the Truth, doing our next things in His strength, encouraging the Saints, and keeping our eyes on Jesus. He is the Perfecter of our Faith.
Hebrews 12:1-3
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

Get "running" in this race: the Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer Race!
It is the Race of our lives!
Glory to His Name!
