The Fiscal Cliff still stands. Iran is showing off the testing of major weapons. Employment concerns mount. And, sometimes the city workers overlook our trash pick-up.
And God's people are growing in spiritual depth toward things that deserve life's attention.
God never wastes a crumb. He demonstrated His great arm when the Israelites were cornered among mountains, armies, and the swallowing Red Sea. Too, we could be reminded of a jar empty of oil as well as a rambunctious disciple named Peter up to his knees in fear of sinking.
Ah, that arm of God! How it shows up at the last moment.
What's thrilling about God is that His signature move was when mankind assumed the last moment had passed. I speak of the Great Resurrection.
Signs of the times: they can be good and they can appear troubling. All of them fit His mysterious plan.
Our job is to fix our eyes upon Jesus; the author and perfecter of faith. May 2013 find us looking at that precise man who still baffles the invented laws of man.....as well as our assumed reasons to worry.
