The Day Is Coming To A Close.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now What?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 55:5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ephesians 3:14-15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we wake up to the reality of what we have done with our lives, as the carouser wakes from the \u2018Johnny Walker wisdom\u2019 run out, leaving us with no more than a dark hangover,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the question is what can we do, now that the \u2018party is over\u2019, the last dance danced, and it\u2019s long since been closing time, in so many ways?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to return to the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not a jump into an alternate reality or timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not a huge jump across the \u2018pond\u2019 to another continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not a huge trip into the Hinterl\u00e4nder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For God has walked with is into every hell-hole party, through every good and bad dance, and through every closing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is right there with us, in us, around us; we are not alone, and it\u2019s never closing time for God\u2019s Grace for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the one thing of goodness and life that never closes down on us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks be to God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
