Words of Grace for Today –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s all good and fine to live life waiting for life after death, dismissing how miserable life is here for oneself, or how miserable it is for others, while oneself enjoys comforts and privileges unimagined even 100 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, that\u2019s not good or fine, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our lives are more determined by what we hear, see, and trust than the actual things we experience. The same mundane and boring or dire and desperate circumstances can be experienced completely differently by different people, usually depending most (not considering various vulnerabilities due to health and age) on their value-reality framework, which they live with each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If one hears the autumn winds blow, and does not take the time to actually see beauty of the yellow leaves against the deep blue skies, the marvels of the waters reflecting the wisps and billows of clouds, and the freedom from bugs the cool temperatures provide, how can one trust that even as winter approaches one\u2019s preparations for the darkest and deepest of cold days will be enough?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If one hears the words upon words spoken, presented, and drilled into the fabric of our lives these days, and does not take the time to also hear the Words recorded by the saints through the ages of God\u2019s love for us, and then to see the wonders the Word has brought to all peoples of all times, how can one trust that in the darkest and coldest of days to come God will walk with us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wonders of God\u2019s love for us are not reserved for only after death. These wonders spring up and blow about each day around us. Today we can see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we can trust that prayers help those who are ill, and that God already pours forgiveness to all people, hoping we will hear it in God\u2019s Word, see it in lives past and present, and learn to trust it today, and in each day to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wonders to hear, see, and trust abound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
