I had a disappearing dream, I rolled over and ignored it, picking a good and better mental storyline to focus on for getting extra sleep. That moment with God, giving me a good devotion writing idea, truly slipped away from me because I really didn’t feel like getting up, I said “just a bit more sleep please Lord”, then that devotion-writing time was gone, only with the remembrance of the theme I was supposed to write: LIVE IN THE MOMENT. 

I was sleeping in the moment and not necessarily listening – but that is us every day – we really miss SO MUCH of what the Lord is saying to us, showing us.

I did remember tidbits of thoughts – I remember wanting to write about the previous day’s beautiful sunrise. The cat actually beckoned me awake, I saw it, intense reds, and then it was gone. That beautiful sunrise lasted only a moment, and that means all our moments last but a short time. We are a mist, God is forever. 

I think that red beautiful sunrise before the rain set in was a warning of a storm to come that day (and it came). And woe on us when we don’t heed every sunrise as a moment to embrace the new day. 

I am thankful for the good nights sleep, I am MORE thankful to let God reveal Himself in this day today.

Amen 

James 4:13-17 – Boasting About Tomorrow

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.

Be Unto Your Name – lyrics

We are a moment, You are forever

Lord of the Ages, God before time

.

We are a vapor, You are eternal

Love everlasting, reigning on high

.

Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain

Highest praises, honor and glory

Be unto Your name, be unto Your name

.

We are the broken, You are the healer

Jesus, Redeemer, Mighty to save

.

You are the love song we’ll sing forever

Bowing before You, blessing Your name

.

Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain

Highest praises, honor and glory

Be unto Your name

Be unto Your name

Be unto Your name
