Sight Past Your Horizon...

I received this quote today: God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road. - Isak Dinesen Sometimes, we may become baffled at the fact that we don’t know what our tomorrow holds… or where each crossroad we face may lead. It is this simple fact alone that should propel us to seek after Christ’s face each and every morning. The scripture says in Proverbs 8:17 “I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.”Today, if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed with the world that is swirling around you, your lack of vision past your horizon, or the stresses of past regrets, SEEK HIM. The “Theme” for Word Alive this year is “It’s time to Shine in Two-Thousand Nine”… and for the past few weeks I have had a song (Jesus Calling by 33Miles) in my head…T he lyrics are so fitting with what I have on my heart this morning. “What do you see when you look at your world today Is it so full of clutter that you feel like you’re going insane And you can’t fight back cause you’re just too afraid and it seems like the clouds in your sky don’t wanna change You see there’s always another story, another side to every coin, And how you see your circumstance is all about a choice When you see the rushing wind , feel the pouring rain, hear the thunder now as the clouds roll in and you’re blinded by the lightning, do you also hear that still, small voice saying It’s okay, you’re not alone, you may be scared to death, But I won’t let you go You may think the sky above is falling But can you hear Jesus calling What do you see when you look at your world today Do you see a glimmer of hope, or has it all turned to gray Well start by counting your blessings one by one Oh and I’m sure right there, you’ll start to see the sun You see there’s always another story, another side to every coin And how you see your circumstance is all about a choice When you see the rushing wind , feel the pouring rain, hear the thunder now as the clouds roll in and you’re blinded by the lightning, do you also hear that still, small voice saying It’s okay, you’re not alone, you may be scared to death, But I won’t let you go You may think the sky above is falling But can you hear Jesus calling Because the darker the night, the brighter He can shine When you see the rushing wind , feel the pouring rain, hear the thunder now as the clouds roll in and you’re blinded by the lightning, do you also hear that still, small voice saying It’s okay, you’re not alone, you may be scared to death, But I won’t let you go You may think the sky above is falling But can you hear Jesus calling…..” On top of it all, last night’s sermon was just awesome. Can you hear the cry of those unsaved around you? I do hope you realize its nigh to midnight – “The night cometh when no man can work.” John 9:4 The scripture tells us in Luke 17:24 “For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.” Be that light. Be the Salt. The Darker the night, the Brighter we should shine. Have you accepted your “Go Ye”? (Matthew 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name [JESUS] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:”)SEEK HIM. Be a Light. Reach out to those around you. Be amazed at the sight God gives you to see just past your Horizon. Love. -Pam
