Good Monday morning! The day dawns clear and bright out here on the rolling hills of western Nebraska. Have you prayed for the world today? I realize that it is fairly early on a Monday morning for a heavy burden such as that, but we must take it upon ourselves to pray for this fallen world. If the followers of Christ do not care enough to pray for everyone, then who will? Loving everyone can be a difficult choice to make. We are bombarded daily with news reports of hatred toward our country and our faith. We view tragedies on television and in the print media. We see the pain and suffering in every day life and wonder if perhaps it wouldn't be better to start over. Rejoice in the fact that God sees all of this too, and He did start over with the new covenant in Christ Jesus. Our Lord did warn us that the world would get very dark at the end, just before the Light arrives to start His new kingdom. The times do look very dark, and that should renew our hopeful expectation of renewal in Christ. As the work week starts today, know that Christ is with us in everything we do. Let His joy burst forth in our labor and in our leisure this fine week.
God bless us all on this great day,
Bucky
