Strike The Day

 

Strike The Day

     The day is like an egg.  If you try to crush it in the palm of your hand, the shell will resist the even force.  However, if you strike the egg on the edge of a pan, its insides will pour out.  Such with the day.

     Routine can envelope us.  Trudging through the usual schedule, our minds wonder if we could tackle another hurdle.  Do we have that fighting spirit within us?  Are we able to overcome?  Today is yesterday’s careful forethought.  Tomorrow is the path of least resistance.  Next week falls off the calendar in boredom.

     Strike the day!  Do something different.  Take a left, see the sights, and wonder at the new.  Do the goofy and mix it up.  Challenge your mind to solve change.  In so doing, you rock the boat.  You become a fresh breeze to those about.

Romans 10:15b “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”

     Sometimes a whistle precedes those walking with the Lord.  With every new thing He shows, His children are in awe.

Revelation 21:5a “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.”  And

Ephesians 5:16 “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

     Adventure will not come asking.  You must look for it beating the hedgerow and calling loudly.  Assert your presence in the day and don’t be afraid to break a few eggs.

The Church Picture

  The Church Picture 2 Samiuel 6: 20  “ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 21  And David said unto Michal, It was before the  Lord , which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the  Lord , over Israel: therefore will I play before the  Lord . 22  And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. ” Revelation 4: 10  “ The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive ...

Infectious Disease

  Infectious Disease      I watch network T.V., the free kind over the airwaves.   It is inundated with self-help medicine commercials.   I think of Sky-ri-zee .   Perhaps this is the concoction for clearer skin.   What wouldn’t an Aaronic priest have given for this special med?   “Got a blemish?   Come closer, son.   Looks like the onset of leprosy.   Go away.   Two pills in the mouth and come back in seven.”   Much of Leviticus would have to be rewritten.   The red heifer sacrifice could be summed up with a cream.   “Touched a dead body?   Rub this on the contact area.   Go away.   Come back tomorrow.”      But what if pills don’t work?   Adam would have O.D.’d on the blue and reds seeking to forget the fall. Thankfully the neighborhood drug store was not on his corner.   He heard vaguely of a savior to come.   God said it was in his genes.   ...

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...
