I haven’t posted for sometime, because I felt that my thoughts were pretty stagnant and duplicate.  The time has been good, as my mind is now full of thoughts that may make it to words.

For instance, lately I have been thinking about the power and majesty of the grace of our savior.  How it can permeate every aspect of the our day if we let it.  It impacts our relationships, our thoughts, our intentions, our interactions with others and the way we view ourselves.

That grace, and the light that it creates is something worth following and living in.

Find your way to that light today and then reflect it to the others around your.  Receive the grace given to you, and then give it away. Give it all the time to others.

2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.1 Peter 1:2

Words are pretty amazing.  Which we choose, how we deliver them, how we craft our messages.  So here’s a little proverb to consider.

15 Patience can persuade a prince,

and soft speech can break bones. Proverbs 25:15

I was late yesterday as the day got out in front of me.  Today I went looking for a reminder of where I should have my focus during the day.  This is a pretty good one :

“Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength (His might and inflexibility to temptation); seek and require His face and His presence [continually] evermore.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭105:4‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Or in a more modern language 

“Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105:4‬ ‭NLT‬

I had to venture out to the DMV today to renew my drivers license.  I have had a license in this state for over two decades, and one would think the state would know my identity.  Alas, they acted like they did not and I had to represent my identity again to the state, proving that I am who I said I am with a plethora of documents and dollars!

Isn’t it a good thing that our true identity doesn’t come from a document?

⁹ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9

I am not sure I can provide any clearer direction or target for today then this from the pen of Paul.

For we live by faith, not by sight. … So we make it our goal to please him,   2 Cor 5:7,9a NIV
