Scared and Sustained

Picture
Have you ever been so afraid that you dropped everything you were doing and left everyone you knew to run and hide?  Elijah did that and his petrified escape is an amazing story.  ​

Johnny's Christmas

Picture
Silently a small figure sat shivering on the soft pine-covered earth tucked away from the wind in a grove of blue spruce.  His tear-filled eyes gazed out across a small meadow where remnants of snow from the last storm lingered. He opened his knapsack and took out the curved white candle and remembered the last words of his frail mother.  “Johnny, I love you so much.  I’m proud of you.  I want you to take this candle and keep it and remember—you are to be a light.  No matter what happens, you keep shining?  Promise?”

Angels

​On several occasions, I have read or heard amazing testimonies of people who experienced God’s deliverance via angels from an enemy intent on their destruction.  God’s Word extensively teaches us about angels with over a 105 references to them in the Old Testament and more than 170 times in the New Testament.  The Bible teaches that angels:

Genuine

​The doorbell rang and I answered it to find two young men well dressed and eager to speak with me.  They wanted to see if they could visit with us.  So I invited them in and Kathleen provided them something to drink.

Rebels

​I wonder if every church has them.  Their profile is not hard to spot.  They wear the cloth of disenchantment with authority. They chaff at rules or the appearance of any type of rigidity.  They love to question the motives of those who make decisions.  They take pride if the crowd goes left in going right.  They wear their stubbornness as a badge of courage and refuse to bend.  Don’t ever tell them they must do something for the word “must” is a dirty word.

Otherworldly

Meditation
Luke 2:13,14--Suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people He favors!

Nature

​It’s amazing what an angel will do.  She sat on the low wooden bench and watched as the people passed by her.  Her faded yellow dress did not match the orange socks pulled just below her knees. Tangled hair and a face unmarked by soap whispered her motherless fate.  She held in one hand a beanie baby—a three legged dog, while in the other she clutched a mystery bag of who knows what treasure.  Her feet lightly swung as if to some hidden melody.  One shoe revealed a severed heel that if she walked would have flapped to its own rap.  The other shoe no longer had lace long enough to tie a bow.
