A Fun 'n Faith Summer - Summer Saints at Peggie's Place!
Fourth of July Celebration USA . . . Freedom-related/July 4 devotionals . . . God Bless America!
Picture this! The place: Wilson's Creek Historic Battlefield, 12 miles west of Springfield, MO. The event: A Civil War Reenactment Weekend. The crowd: Hundreds of participants, with thousands predicted to attend. The WEATHER FORECAST: Rain, rain, more rain. Thunder, lightning, storms. More rain. WHAT TO DO? "Go ahead as planned--it rained during the Civil War; if THEY survived, so can we!" And with that determination, the show went on that weekend, a great tribute to history and the memory of some brave men, both North and South.Picture this! The place: Anywhere on Planet Earth. The event: Your life. The crowd: A watching world of family, friends and enemies--and the enemy of your soul, lurking around the corner too! The WEATHER FORECAST: rain, thunder, lightning--storms that umbrellas don't shield from; mud that does more than soil your clothing; situations over which we have no control......and WHAT TO DO? WHERE IS GOD?
(1) He's STILL here...with you in the storm, watching over you and yours. He'll never forsake you. (2) He's STILL there...wherever the situation lies, however bleak or hopeless...He remains. (3) He's STILL everywhere overseeing all the storms--floods, tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes of our lives. He reigns as King forevermore; He rides the storms--and He'll bring you through!
So "Go ahead as planned"...God is with you. He will see you through. He's with you today--and tomorrow--and the next day--EVEN in the rain! Believe it--now march straight ahead--singin' in the storm, splashin' through the mud, dashin' through the drops, and have a great day--for His SON still shines!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"...The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm...The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth those who trust in him (Nahum 1:3,7)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, the forecast is not good. There's rain ahead--or there's rain right now...and I need You. Help me feel Your presence, not only in the sunshine of my life, but the storms as well. You are there--in me, with me, beside me--and I am safe in Your care. That's all I need to know. Help me believe it. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
