It as rainy day in Utah! 56 chilly degrees and a bit gloomy! Still I am thankful for this day that God has made and I will be happy in it! Prayers continue for rain in the great state of Texas!
In prayer this morning as I sat watching the tears fall from heaven, I wondered if they were tears of joy, or tears of sadness. I think that there is much sadness in seeing the state our world is in today, in seeing the greed that has taken place of goodness, in seeing how our country is being run, in seeing the unrest of other countries and the devious evil plans of destruction that are constantly being fashioned, in seeing how he is being taken out of the master plans, in seeing the multitudes of people turning their back on him thinking they know better than he! Would you have a home builder come and build a home just off of a sketch you drew? Would it matter if the specs were not all there, if the dimensions, the plumbing, the electrical, the foundation were not added in?? Just a pretty picture of a pretty house on the outside, but what is going on inside? Each of us has the ability to look pretty on the outside, but if the inside is not carefully constructed how can we expect the outside to keep it all together, without the careful planning and execution of the bearing walls, of the electrical, of the plumbing...would the house stand? Maybe for a little while it would, but without the "guts" it cannot endure! How is your house built on the inside? Is it structurally sound or is there work needing to be done to ensure?? Will be able to withstand storms. Same with a car, the outside can be the best looking ride you have ever seen, but does it not need the innards to run, no engine...no go.....not gas...no go....no wheels...no go! I think God is sad because we are all putting so much stock into the appearance but not the structure, not the inner works..He has been taken out of schools, he is being taken out of our government, he is being taken off of our currency, he is being taken out of so many things that we so desperately need him in! We have to stand strong and put him back where he belongs because without him our houses will fall, our country will continue to separate until it is no more, our children will continue to run amuck, our lives will be just what they are with no hope of any better....we must allow him to be on the inside, we must have him come into our hearts and reside within our homes and in all that we do! Are you standing with me on this? If we as a people want to have peace in our lives....WE MUST HAVE GOD IN OUR HEARTS. It is the only way for us to endure. Is he in your heart today? Is he residing inside your "house"?
I pray this day that each of you will take time to see what needs to be done to make your house stronger....look at the inside my friends, don't worry about the outside, a quick coat of paint can make it all new again...LOOK ON THE INSIDE, and recognize what is missing and what is needed to make it strong and sound! Love in Christ to each of you and my you feel how loved and appreciated you are this day!!!
