“Wealth and glory come from You,
and You rule over them all.
In Your hand is power and strength and
You use them to make great and strengthen everyone.”
-1 Chronicles 20:12 [Voice]

A Time to Think… “Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.” ―Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist, and poet.

A Time to Act… Why is it that we often see first what is bad instead of the good of beauty and wonder God has created for us? Let’s be  determined to stop “doom-scrolling” news and walk outside to see God’s incredible creation! Look around at the sun, moon, rain, snow, all the flora and fauna who praise their Maker every day. We would do well to join them!

A Time to Pray… O Lord, I get so wrapped up in stuff that is distracting and trivial that I miss the glory of all you have created for me. Those incredible sunsets, full moon majesty, a new-born fawn, the rainbow in the sky…and so much more; but I’m busy with stuff that has little purpose and I miss the opportunity. Give me a new focus Lord. Set my eyes on your beauty and help me to be attentive to the opportunities you put before me every day. AMEN.
