"Lord, You are the Ground under my feet; You are my Place of Refuge; You are my Light in the darkness; You are the Source of my joy. You alone are Original, and it is from Your flowing out that men are raised up to eternal life. I applaud You with the 'Wow' of awe. Amen"
FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
Dear watchers of clocks:
At the end of Luke 22:53, when men came to arrest Jesus, He said, ". . .this is your hour. . . - this is your hour Satan; this is your hour Judas; this is your hour chief priests, temple guards, and elders. This is your hour Peter and John, and the others." And today is our hour, our "Fifteen minutes of fame." What am I doing with mine? What are you doing with yours?
I am sitting here this morning, and I see shiny green leaves shimmering in a light breeze; and cloud tops are being struck by the early morning sun - the same sun which was setting in Jesus life. This same old sun has seen it all, but Creation was unprepared for the manner in which God's eternal fame and glory was about to be seen as He was nailed to a cross.
In this our hour, I pray that we trust in the right things, and focus on our God and our love of others in right ways. God owns the clock, and He offers us endless time, because He is our gracious Friend.
