Happy Autumnal Equinox, everyone! It doesn't much feel like Autumn in this part of the world, but based on the weather report, I think we'll be feeling the difference fairly soon.
As we anticipate the change of seasons and all the fun events this change shifts our minds toward, I'm praying that I will be especially aware of the need to be thankful for provision, for life, for freedom, for America (as disjointed as it sometimes seems), for family, for ministry, for God's Word... for His love, His promises, and His steadfast, unchanging character.
Do we have tough days? Oh boy, do we ever! Do we have the grit to make it through? That depends entirely on how prepared we are... how grounded we are in prayer and in God's Holy Scriptures. I challenge you today, if you've been praying for a fresh breath from the Holy Spirit, as you're reading your Bible, keep in mind that the words are more than just ink printed on the page. Those words are The Inspired Word of God given by Him to those appointed in their due time to communicate God's interaction with the people of the past so we can be aware of his interaction with us in the present. If that's not enough to put a new breeze in your sail, you might want to make sure you've got your sail raised! Let's raise the sails of change. The start of a new season is a great time to change course, start anew, redirect, refocus... recommit. If you're not already doing daily Bible study or reading, why not find a One Year Bible or find a one year Bible reading program. You can start today!
