It's so hot!

Wow it sure is hot outside these days. But it is the end of July and it is the middle of summer, so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that it is. The surprise for me is that it doesn't seem like it has been a year, already, from last year's heat. God has promised that as long as the earth exists we will have the changing of the seasons. The scriptures tell us so...

Genesis 8:22

Common English Bible (CEB)
22 As long as the earth exists,
seed time and harvest,
cold and hot,
summer and autumn,
day and night
will not cease.


But to me the changing seasons just seem to be coming quicker and quicker!

I really dislike the saying "that as you get older time passes quicker". But it does seem that way as we get busier with all of life's demands. There are so many obligations that have been put on us, from demanding jobs, to our children's sports and school events and, even, for the one's who believe in helping their local church, all the different jobs that need to be done there.

This isn't an article on trying to slow down. I know that sometimes that is an impossible thing but as we lay down to sleep each night, I do know how tired we can be though. It is nice to know that we have the, God given, gift of sleep. 

He is so good to help us with so many gifts of support.... 

2 Thessalonians 2:15-17

The Message (MSG)

15-17 So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.

So as you and I live our busy lives, through each and every hot or cold season, it is good to remember that we have the promise of the help of God to see us through each and every day.

Blessings!
