Good Tuesday morning! I don't know that today is anyone's special day so we'll call it Hollywood Bozo's Day in honor of all the bozos in Hollywood. If you are out in Hollywood and do not consider yourself a bozo, then it ain't your day. Hush up and let 'dem bozos have their day! :-)
We have enjoyed another couple of rainy days and nights out here, and the North Platte River looked good on Saturday too. This looks like another good year to plant rice paddies... or maybe not. One sort of plains wisdom I hear from time to time out here is along the lines of: "if only I knew that this would be a wet spring, I would plant..." What would you do if you did know how much rainfall an area would receive in a particular season or year? Would you thank God, give him the glory and make a responsible choice? Or would you take advantage and plant something inappropriate to the area such as cotton or another crop requiring enormous amounts of water? One thing we can gather from our Bible study is that God does not suffer fools or those who would take advantage of Him. While God may promise an abundant life, that doesn't mean that any of us should run out and spend an entire paycheck playing the lottery.
Sometimes we must make a choice of faith in God. An unexpected bill or expense may come up and we might have to cheerfully give our tithe and depend on God to provide the rest. Other times we will have enough and simply need to make responsible choices with the resources God has blessed us with. I haven't always done well in this area. Perhaps this is an area of life in which you are not tempted and so don't need this advice. Praise God for your blessing in this! America does have a problem with over consumption in recent times. There are signs that the recession is coming to an end, praise God for that, but I also pray that we do not return to the bad habits of recent times.
Have an abundant day in Christ Jesus!
