You may be down and feel like God

Has somehow forgotten

That you are faced with circumstances

You can't get through

But now it seems that there's no way out

And you're going under

God's proven time and time again

He'll take care of you

I know there are many people today feeling as though they won't get through the circumstances they are facing. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or discouraged, wondering what you're going to do when none of the options look good. If you have given your life to God and become a believer, you don't need to fear. Just as He has taken care of you in the past, and of His people all throughout history, He will continue to do so now and in future. Pull out your Bible and reread the many times our God showed up for His people: the parting of the Red Sea, the burning furnace that didn't consume Shadrach, Meshach, or Abednego, the ravenous lions that wouldn't touch Daniel. Today, we serve the same God, equally powerful and equally caring. Whatever it is He calls us to walk through, He will give us the strength to do so, and take care of us on the journey. He's always come through for you and You may not know how, you may not know when, but He'll do it again!

10 on 10

 10 on 10 is a collection of 10 images posted on the 10th of the month, captured the day before. No "special" session, just taking my camera with me as I go about my day and capturing art in everyday life, training my creative eye.

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You

To receive the food of Your Holy Word.

Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;

Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,

That the light of Christ might be seen today

In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.

Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us

All Your purposes for Your glory.

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You. Do we come to the Lord? Not to Hollywood, Facebook, or celebrities, but to the Lord of the universe? Do we want to hear Him speak? Do we listen for Him to? Your Holy Word. Do we realise the holiness of His Word? Not just the parts we like, but the entirety of it? Your truth. God's truth. Not popular opinion. Not public opinion. Not majority vote. God's truth. Shape and fashion us in Your likeness. Not the likeness of popular sportspeople, singers, or politicians. God's likeness. The light of Christ. Not the social justice gospel, not the marketing campaigns of large corporations, not our own ego. The light of Christ. Fulfill in us all Your purposes. Fulfill Your purposes, complete them, leave nothing undone. Your purposes. God's purposes, not ours. For Your Glory. All our acts of love and deeds of faith, and the fulfillment of God's purposes are for His glory. Not ours. They are not to build our egos, virtue signal to those watching in person or on social media, or otherwise glorify ourselves. All is for God's glory.
