October 27, 2007

Good Saturday morning to you! It seems that by some guidance, I have let slip by the anniversary of the start of this thing. Yes, about 20 days ago the 365th posting of this devotional on the blog went past. While that is an interesting date, I think it was let go because it just isn't that important. I should hope that many hundreds, even thousands of devotional messages will come from God and through my fingers before this is done. For in that is hope for those still lost in the darkness. If those like you and me, who spread the Word, the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus are called home, who will deliver the Good News to a lost world? And what hope does the world have if God gives up on it? None whatsoever without that light shining in the darkness spoken of in Isaiah so many years ago. Today, that light shines through us, in many different forms. This appears in an e-mail and on the web, your testimony may come in song, the verse of poetry, the pages of stories, in sermons, in novels, in television scripts, in everyday conversation, in your living, giving, accepting, and in your stand for Christ. May we not forget that in praying for another, especially one who does not know that he or she is the object of that prayer, that we show great love for them, and God does not forget that.

Today began very early and I do not yet know all of what lies in store, but it seems that I did need to get up to find out. Did you realize that Christmas is but two months away? If not, I am more than glad to let you know! Merry Christmas to you, and may God's blessings overflow your cup this weekend!
