The Thought That God Delights In YOU

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions. – Albert Einstein

Mephibosheth was taken aback that David would treat him, a descendant of Saul and David’s enemy so royally and invite him to the king's table. Hmm!

You’ve seen the commercial. It starts with them young. He enters, sees her across the room, gracefully strides over to ask for a dance…. Cut to them now older, at home still dancing. He says, “Alexa, play our song AGAIN!” ‘I Only Have Eyes For You….’ starts up and you see it in their eyes – they delight in each other. No place they’d rather be. That’s what God seeks with us. He delights in us. All that He has done, all that He has given us shouts it aloud “I delight in you!” It should be the thought that starts our day and propels us through it – God delights in me. The Creator of this world, the Maker of heaven and earth is with me, and can’t take His eyes off of me, He delights in me. How great and reassuring is that knowledge?

Until Monday…

Just Different

There is no such thing as bad weather; it’s just a different sort. – J. Ruskin

God spoke with Abraham man to man. He spoke to the Israelites from the mountain. He spoke to us through His Son. Different ways – same God! Hmm!

The great thing about life is no 2 days are ever alike. But often in our lives when our circumstances seem to tax us to the 'Nth' degree we say things like “I’m having a streak of bad luck” or “my life is going from bad to worse.” In reality the only thing that has really changed is our outlook on the situation. When we see things as “bad” it means we’ve taken our eyes off of our sustainer – GOD. God is "good all the time." Life may be hard at times, but it is not bad, it’s just different given the situation. But as sure as day follows night God can and often will change our outlook if we just look up.

Until Monday…
