Good Morning! For the next couple of days I will enjoy the sun rising early. It's the least I can do since our lawmakers have decided to advance the time change once more. One thing the governments of the world cannot do is to stop the progress of time. We are moving toward our meeting with Jesus, whether the world likes it or not!
Last night we read about the little oops that King Hezekiah made in showing the ambassadors from Babylon his treasures. I am struck by the double whammy that materialism can bring. First there is the pride of showing off your possessions. Then if you show them off to the wrong persons, you get the loss of having them taken. The Israelites saw this when, later, King Nebuchadnezzar would use that knowledge to grab every treasure from the Temple and palace in Jerusalem. The things of this world simply do not last and worshipping them is the way to destruction.
The glory of the Lord shines on us and through us this fine day! Each of us has fallen prey to sin at times, but forgiveness is always there for the asking. Seek out the sin in your life, and then confess it to God and ask forgiveness. Truly we must come before the Lord daily to walk with Him. How much better to walk with Him in grace, without the baggage of unconfessed sin slowing us down.
Praise the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior!
