Sunrise – Sunset

/ pastorpete51 / 2 Comments

Maybe you never stopped to think that as our world turns our sunset happens at the exact instant a beautiful dawn is breaking somewhere. That is what the apostle Paul is telling his dear friends. While his own life hastened towards a sunset of suffering the dawn of the light of God”s life was beginning in theirs.

God puts that free choice in each of our hands. The tighter we cling to our own life the less chance we will have of setting on fire the torch of faith in others!

So death is at work in us, but life in you. 2 Corinthians 4:12 ESV

All Things New

Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away behold all things are become new.

I have always been excited to pack my bags and go places where I’ve never been before. Sometimes I lie awake all night dreaming of who we will meet and what exciting experiences lie ahead. But in making spiritual choices It is easy to hesitate at the edge of the unknown. When we let go of the safety of the cliff to which we are clinging we can plunge deep new waters. When we are ready to allow old plans to die we are sending an invitation for new ones to be born. 

God is preaching His Sermon

Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. Psalm 19:2

In the storms my God shouts with a loud thunderclap

While on my windows He whispers with the gentle rain’s tap

In my mornings He speaks like the sweet robin’s song

And He calls me to action with the breaking of dawn

With each day my God gives another sermon begins

When I listen I remember He’s forgiven my sins

Then at noonday He pauses and calls me to rest

Because there’s work to be done before His sunsets
