NOTE - e-Devotions for the next two weeks may be sporadic as we will be on vacation and then on a mission trip. Please be patient if you encounter problems. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your spiritual journey.
In a recent sermon we talked about where we see God, feel God and are in AWE or in wonder of God. One of the places we talked about is the beach. That's where we are headed, and this is gonna be off the hook.
Psalm 97:6 (nasb) --- The heavens declare His righteousness,And all the peoples have seen His glory.
Romans 1:19 (nasb) --- because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
Years ago I learned what it was like to enjoy God. That is to sit still, lean back, listen up and let His peace shout at me and in me. That is a huge deal. This week every year is some of that for me. It is strengthen for the entire family. It is time together and time to reflect.
We have lots to reflect on this year. It has been a year of new roads to take. Most recently, a new home that we own (our first). Months ago, a new church planted from my heart and with my feet and friends. Days before that, great pain in leaving a place and people I loved. All of that that led to us seeing and enjoying Jesus more and more.
Sitting by the ocean is going to be great.
REFRESHING from God.
RE-VISIONING (not a word, but a sweet concept) to keep me going.
RECREATION with the fam and some good friends.
REINVENTING the new growth we now know as The Community Fellowship.
I am greatly for this last year, since our last trip to the beach. Some of you will remember that those were tough, trying and tearful days of struggles and questions. This year is one of peace and rest. In fact, I am going to try some new things while I am away, and I am OK with them. The cell phone will be turned off and messages checked no more than once a day. Talk about church will be about dreaming and what can be not what could have been. Time with family will be more focused and building. Reading more than normal digging in for depth with God.
Join me and enjoy our God...
Psalm 95:5 (nlt) --- The sea belongs to him, for he made it.His hands formed the dry land, too.
Psalm 96:11 (nlt) --- Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice!Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!
Psalm 98:7 (nlt) --- Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!Let the earth and all living things join in.
This is going to be 7 days and nights of great time at the beach...
