Text for the Day -- Luke 7:24-30 ---------- When John's messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? Someone dressed in soft robes? Look, those who put on fine clothing and live in luxury are in royal palaces. What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written,
'See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.'
I tell you, among those born of women no one is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he." (And all the people who heard this, including the tax collectors, acknowledged the justice of God, because they had been baptized with John's baptism. But by refusing to be baptized by him, the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected God's purpose for themselves.)
Devotional ---------- John had one job. He was to prepare the way for the appearance of Jesus and the kingdom of God. John's message sharply defined the issues of justice and righteousness, and called the people to repentance over their failures in these areas. John had the great privilege of preparing for Jesus. Those who responded positively to John's message discovered the wondrous grace of God's forgiveness. Those who rejected John's message, rejected the joy of the Gospel and stayed in their hard hearted condition.
Prayer ------ Empty my heart of self absorption and soften it to receive the gift of your love anew in Christ Jesus, loving God. Amen

Anything is possible in the deer woods. About ten years back Woodmaster killed a whopper 8 pointer that grossed out at 158. The following spring he found a shed that was undoubtedly from the same buck. A perfect match. That means the antler laid there in the grass and leaves for over a year. No chew marks on it either. .

Still funny, I don't care who you are! All economic indicators are good right now. Will they stay that way? Who knows? The real problem is the deficit and the debt, which have continued to skyrocket through several administrations. If something doesn't change we are moving toward disaster. All kidding aside, Presidents have little control over gas prices. Never have, never will. But its take credit when the price is low, blame the other guy when the price is high... I would agree with that except this administration is at war with fossil fuels. His first day he shut down a huge pipeline and has been anti fossil fuel ever since with this “new green deal”. He has sold out to the “environmentalists” and is pumping our tax dollars in another “solar panel” company thst has multiple consumer complaints against it. Sounds like more rewarding Democrat contributors

Text for the Day -- Psalm 125 ---------- Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from this time on and forevermore. For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous might not stretch out their hands to do wrong. Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts. But those who turn aside to their own crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers. Peace be upon Israel!
Devotional ---------- When you stand on a mountain you feel the strength and stability of the earth beneath you. God is like that - solid and dependable rock - except that the rock that God is, is love. A love so strong that it is everlasting and enduring in spite of evil, death or any calamity. What a gift to help us endure all that we may suffer in life on this earth.
Prayer ------- I look to you, O Lord, be my rock and my fortress. Amen

Text for the Day -- Acts 28:23-28 ---------- After they had set a day to meet with him, they came to him at his lodgings in great numbers. From morning until evening he explained the matter to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the law of Moses and from the prophets. Some were convinced by what he had said, while others refused to believe. So they disagreed with each other; and as they were leaving, Paul made one further statement: "The Holy Spirit was right in saying to your ancestors through the prophet Isaiah, 'Go to this people and say, You will indeed listen, but never understand, and you will indeed look, but never perceive. For this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing,and they have shut their eyes;so that they might not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn — and I would heal them.'
Let it be known to you then that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen."
Devotional ---------- When the Gospel is shared, some believe in Jesus, some do not. Paul cites one of the prophets of Israel to the effect that this is an ancient and ongoing phenomenon. The Word that proclaims Jesus goes out to be heard. It is a decisive word that calls for a clear yes or no. When faith is generated a yes comes forth. When faith is not engendered a no comes forth. Actually we are faced with this yes or no each day of our lives.
Prayer ------ Grant me faith through your Holy Spirit, Lord, so that I may ever respond with a yes. Amen

Text for the Day -- Micah 4:9-10 ---------- Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pangs have seized you like a woman in labor? Writhe and groan, O daughter Zion, like a woman in labor; for now you shall go forth from the city and camp in the open country; you shall go to Babylon. There you shall be rescued, there the LORD will redeem you from the hands of your enemies.
Devotional ---------- Renewal often comes in trips to the wilderness. Sometimes we choose these trips, knowing that we need renewal. Sometimes God drives us into the wilderness so we have to find the renewal we need and are avoiding. In the wilderness, the place of judgment, God leads us to renewal and rescues our lives.
Prayer -------- Help me to know when it is time to seek renewal, O Lord. Amen

I was in the Newburgh Walmart the other day and I always try to check out the hunting stuff to see if there are any sales - which doesn’t happen very often
While threre I saw that they were stocking muzzleloaders again. First time in at least 5 years.
I did not look them over close enough to see brands and models.

It’s tough to lose them and you had more that your share of heartaches.
Prayers for you.
Peace be with you…
