6-30-11 Thursday, 7:01 am Springfield, 72, muggy, high heading for upper 90s today.
I enjoy the summer! On Monday I hauled dirt and created a level spot for the large wading pool in the backyard. Today I will have some time to work on the yard and garden and to get some exercise. We are at the last day of the first half of the year. Many people around me are commenting on how fast time goes by. I am very conscious of the rapid advance of “father time” and desire to maximize the days given to me by God to walk this earthly life.
II Kings 17
The 10 northern tribes are finally hauled off into Assyrian captivity, never to return. This chapter summarizes their sins, and the reason God allowed their enemies to overrun their capitol city and decimate the people. They had failed to honor God, to obey him, to follow his ways. They worshipped the “sex and religion” gods of the neighboring people. It is interesting that in this generation, almost three millennium later, the “worship” of sex and sex goddesses is still one of the critical enemies of a life of following Jesus. When will humans learn that God has revealed himself in holiness and has a plan for the salvation of all people from darkness and bondage? The darkness continues to spread, and the people of God are called to carry his light to all nations. Thank you Lord for the light, guide us as we carry it forward today, living in the light as you are in the light!
