House Rules – If you drop it…pick it up.

When you’re taken down by sin, you have two choices before you.  One is to succumb and give in, beating yourself up and telling yourself how bad you are and that you’ll never amount to anything.  The other is to get up and ask the Lord what you can learn from that mistake.  Don’t wallow in the guilt and shame any longer, lean on God…for He will sustain and strengthen you and raise you up out of the mud and mire. For it says in Psalm 145:14,  “The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.”

 

Genesis 8:22 ” As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”

Sometimes I think the good Lord gives us the awe-inspiring beauty of Fall in compensation for the up-coming harsh Winter that will soon overtake us. The trees are in their full glory now…golds, yellows, rusts all contrast beautifully against the chilly blue sky. Long lines of birds perch on the high-line wires waiting for the queue to fly South…while V-shaped groups of Canadian geese move slowly across the sky, honking as they bid us goodbye for another season. Cold weather is right around the corner, so I thank you Lord for all this beauty right now.
