The robin was suddenly smacked with a bolt out of the blue. A  merlin (a type of small falcon) dropped, seemingly out of nowhere, and knocked it out of the air. They both hit the ground with a thud in front of me, and there was a brief flurry of feathers.

The strike must have been a little off target as the robin flew away while the merlin flew up into the nearby crabapple tree. It sat there for a few moments, looking a little stunned.

Score: Robins: one, Merlins: nil. This time.

Sometimes, life can be like that. We are cruising along, living life as usual, when some major problem hits us out of the blue. There is no warning at all, at least none that we noticed.

It can come as a job loss, an illness, a marital breakdown, a death in the family, an economic collapse, or any of ten thousand or more different scenarios. Whatever the problem, it leaves us shaken and stunned.

We wonder what happened. We wonder where God is in the midst of it all. We wonder how, or even if, we will survive.

We begin to realize that we aren’t as much in control as we had imagined. In truth, there is very little that we do control. We’re not the center of the universe, and not everything falls under our purview. 

That’s actually a good realization to have, even if we came to it the hard way.

Jesus spoke on that subject.

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:25-31

Remember when times of testing come (and they will), God is in control. He knew about it before it happened, even if it seems out of the blue to you. 

We can trust Him, no matter what we face. The outcome might seem uncertain to us, but the one who holds the stars in His hands has our backs.

Even when circumstances are hard, God is good.

To paraphrase a Bobby McFerrin song,

Here’s a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note for note

Don’t worry, trust Jesus.

In every life we have some trouble

When you worry you make it double

Don’t worry, trust Jesus

Don’t worry, trust Jesus.

Until next time, no matter what comes your way, remember that God is there for you.

Hallelu Yah (Praise God)

Be blessed, 

Kevin

As we strolled around the lake, several trout began feeding on  the surface. Most appeared to be relatively small, but one was obviously much larger than the others. I cannot say exactly how big he was, without it becoming another kind of fish story altogether, but it was a good-sized trout.

As I walked and thought about the “big” fish, my mind wandered to the story of Jonah and the great fish. I have been rereading it of late, and it has been in the back of my mind. It is worthwhile taking the time to reread it, especially if you have not done so in a while. 

Some say Jonah was swallowed by a whale, but the Hebrew text only refers to a ‘great fish,’ so it may have been a whale or a large fish. Several species of fish are possible Jonah swallowers, including the jewfish (a form of Mediterranean sea bass) and several shark species.

Whatever it was, it swallowed Jonah. What happened next is unusual to say the least. Either Jonah lived inside the fish for three days (or some portion thereof in keeping with the Hebrew rendering of days) or he died inside the fish and was resurrected. Either way involved the miraculous hand of God.

Upon being freed, Jonah went to Nineveh, warned the people of God’s anger, and then watched them repent. Jonah was angry at God for sparing his enemies. At the end of the book, we see Jonah sitting in the sun, claiming he would rather die than see Nineveh saved.

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry. And he prayed to the Lord and said, “O Lord, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster. Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live.”

And the Lord said, “Do you do well to be angry?”

Jonah went out of the city and sat to the east of the city and made a booth for himself there. He sat under it in the shade, till he should see what would become of the city. Now the Lord God appointed a plantand made it come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant. 

But when dawn came up the next day, God appointed a worm that attacked the plant, so that it withered. When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”

But God said to Jonah, “Do you do well to be angry for the plant?” 

And he said, “Yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die.” 

And the Lord said, “You pity the plant, for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night.And should not I pity Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than 120,000 persons who do not know their right hand from their left, and also much cattle?” Jonah 4:1-11

Those last few verses have been reverberating around in my mind for days. How typical they are of our attitudes. God provides in ways that we cannot understand, and we take it for granted. 

We are more concerned about our own comfort than about the thousands of souls that are around us that need saving. When a particularly “vile sinner” gets saved, we often are resentful and suspicious. We want mercy for ourselves but vengeance on evildoers.

I know that not all of us have every one of those attitudes at all times, but they are there in varying degrees. Our hearts are really not very nice.

Fortunately for us, God is far more loving and patient. He is that way, even with His children, and we should know better.

Until next time, examine your heart. Do you have the heart of Christ or the heart of Jonah? If it is the latter, it is time for some repentance.

Hallelu Yah (Praise God)

Be blessed, 

Kevin

It was a dark and stormy night. I know that sounds clichéd, but  I’ve always wanted to write it, and it was indeed a night that was dark (no moon) and stormy (with pouring rain at times).

We were on a night march during basic training with the Canadian Armed Forces. We had an objective to find some miles away, using only a compass. It was so dark and the bush so thick in places that we literally had to hold on to the belt of the man in front to stay together. Even from that distance, you couldn’t see the man in front of you at times.

If the person in the lead stumbled over something, so did everyone else. It was a real challenge to stay together. We were exercising noise discipline, so not more than an odd whisper was allowed. There were a lot of muffled curses and groans. 

If you got separated, there would be no finding the group again, and the squad was penalized, so we had to hold on tight no matter what. I came to understand that night the reality of the old cliché about the blind leading the blind.

Not only was it a night march to test our orienteering skills under less-than-ideal conditions, but it was also a team-building exercise. There was nothing to be done but hold on tight to the man in front and trust the leader with the compass. That was hard at times because every step seemed like we had walked miles, and it was unfamiliar terrain, so we had no landmarks to guide us.

Eventually, we came out within about 20 feet of our mark and within the prescribed time. We weren’t the first team, but we were far from the last. One team had to be found after daylight, and a few stragglers were rounded up.

We’re called to trust God in much the same way as we had to trust the man in front of us.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Sometimes in our faith walk, we don’t know where God is leading, we don’t know how we’re going to get there and everything seems to press in around us. 

He’s a much better guide than my teammates with the compass. God never fails to deliver on a promise. He has been faithful from before the beginning of time, and He’ll be faithful when time ceases to be.

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations. Deuteronomy 7:9

Whatever you face today, trust in God to get you through it. 

That’s not a cliché, it’s a promise.

Until next time, put your trust in the one who always delivers.

Hallelu Yah (Praise God)

Be blessed, 

Kevin

Kathy and I are huge fans of border collies. It’s no exaggeration  to say they aren’t for everyone. Now they aren’t for everyone. They have a high need to work and require plenty of space and exercise, and they are our favorite breed.

I was browsing through some images of border collies on a Facebook page that shares everything related to border collies. One of the images took me back 30 years in my memory. 

Kathy and I had taken a summer drive out to the old campground on the lake. Over the years, I had been involved in several men’s fishing retreats there, but Kathy had never been to that lake. The facility was still there, although the province was no longer maintaining it.

We parked and walked around. To our surprise, a big old collie came over to check us out. He likely lived in one of the homes nearby. He seemed starved for affection and immediately adopted me. Wherever we walked, he was at my side, getting petted.

Finally, it came time for us to leave. He didn’t want to see us go. As we tried to drive away, he went into classic collie mode and tried to herd us back to our parking space. If I cut to the left, he moved in front of us to the left and then lay down. If I moved to the right, he moved to the right as well. If I tried to go straight, he went to the front of the van.

It took some time before we were able to get clear of him. He was very determined that we could be herded into staying.

His determination reminded me in a strange way of Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit never gives up on us. He wants to see us drawn into the fold with Christ and Father. He testifies to us about Jesus. He convicts us of our sin. He’s constantly at work to help us find our way to salvation.

He does all that because Father loves us all and wants all to choose Him and grow in Christlike character.

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. 2 Peter 3:8-9 

That gives me hope as I wait for His return. I have friends and family who don’t yet know Him. As much as I eagerly await His return, I long for those friends and family members to find their true freedom in Him. I know He’s on their trail and calling to them. My prayer for them is that they listen.

Until next time, rejoice that He loves you enough to track you down and herd you back to the fold. Rejoice that He’s still out there chasing the lost.

Hallelu Yah (Praise God)

Be blessed, 

Kevin

It happened yesterday. Did you notice? 

At 2:19 PM EDT, the sun crossed the equator, and the autumnal equinox occurred. From that moment, the days began to get shorter, a trend that continues until the vernal equinox in the Spring, when the trend reverses.

The word “equinox” has its roots in Latin. In Latin, “aequs” means equal, and “nox” means night. For a brief moment, at least at the equator, the day and night share equal time.

The equinox divides the year into two distinct parts. Our days are marked by hours, minutes, and seconds, as well as by the passage of time from dawn to morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Our month can be divided into days and weeks, and our year into months and seasons, marked by equinoxes—very sensible arrangements.

We don’t like the autumnal equinox because it signals the shortening of days and the coming of the winter months. We much prefer the Spring with its fresh new growth and warmer weather, leading us into the lazy, hazy days of summer.

The equinox always brings to mind a couple of Scripture passages.

And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. Genesis 1:14-16

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.Give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures forever.Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his steadfast love endures forever; to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever;to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his steadfast love endures forever;to him who spread out the earth above the waters, for his steadfast love endures forever;to him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures forever;the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures forever;the moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures forever… Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever. Psalm 136:1-9, 26

The predictability of the changes, year in and year out, unchanging since time began, should give us pause to reflect and praise our creator.

The God who loves us reveals Himself in His Word, but also in the wondrous nature of the creation itself. It’s no wonder Paul could write.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Romans 1:18-20

Next time you are pondering the shortening of the days, pause and give thanks that gives signposts that all can see.

Hallelu Yah (Praise God)

Be blessed, 

Kevin

When we lived in the Edmonton area, we frequently visited Elk  Island National Park to observe the bison (buffalo) and other wildlife. It was always a treat. 

Unlike horses and cattle, the bison often seemed to face into the storm, rather than away from it. Their thick, heavy coats and high metabolism allow them to face cold and storms extremely well. Many police forces had winter coats made of bison hide to keep out the winter.

I’ve read places where people have romanticized the bison’s behavior as facing into the storm or walking towards it as the best way to get through it. I think that’s a pretty suspect interpretation, but it does make for good imagery.

How do we react to the storms of life? Do we face up to them or do we try to hide away?

Life comes with storms of many kinds. They can be like squalls, sudden, unexpected, and short. Or they can be like blizzards, you can often see them coming, they blot out everything, and seem to last forever.

No matter the type of storm, they are seldom pleasant to endure. I was tempted to write “never pleasant”, but someone would have thought of an exception.

Believers have a huge advantage over non-believers when the storms come. We’re anchored in Christ and He walks with us, no matter what comes.

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. John 10:27-28

If you aren’t in the middle of a storm right now, rest assured, there is one coming because life is full of them, and God uses them. The storms discipline us, change us, and strengthen us. They teach us to follow His ways and rely on Him.

When the storm hits, face into it. Trust Jesus, and He will walk you through. 

Jesus has got whatever you are facing, and with Jesus, you’ve got it too.

Hallelu Yah (Praise God)

Be blessed, 

Kevin

It was nothing but a pile of debris in a farmer’s field, but in the  misty, fading light, it looked like a monster. The piles of tires and other debris gave the appearance of an undulating back, and an old piece of pipe with a curved end looked like a neck and head. It made me think of the Loch Ness Monster cruising through the mists.

Of course, I’ve never seen the Loch Ness Monster, and to be honest, I have no idea whether Nessie or similar monsters exist or not. I’ve seen enough sketches and artist impressions to have an idea of what she might be like if she’s real, and that’s what the dump “sculpture” looked like to me.

Even if Nessie is real, the one I saw in the middle of the farmer’s field wasn’t. There was nothing to fear from it, except, perhaps, the results of an overactive imagination.

Overwrought imaginations are often the source of many of our fears and stress. We like to call it worrying. There are certainly times and places for concern, but many people have worrying down to a fine art. In their minds, they can conceive every possible thing that might go wrong, and they worry about it. They worry about the mythical monsters in the mist.

What if it happens? What if it doesn’t happen? What if he or what if she or worse yet what if they?

Years ago, I read a comment by a worrier who wrote, “I must be good at worrying because 99% of what I worry about never happens.” That’s somewhat tongue in cheek but contains a pretty big kernel of truth.

Jesus had some words for worriers.

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:25-34 

A one-sentence summary of his comments might be, “Lighten up and trust God!”

Excessive worry is a sin. It betrays a lack of trust in God’s ability to handle the situation.

If you find yourself in that place of constant worry, confess it to Him and ask for His help. The more you surrender to Him, the less you have to worry about it.

Hallelu Yah (Praise God)

Be blessed, 

Kevin

I order some of my shirts online. I’d rather shop locally, but can  rarely find what I want, and if I do find it, the sizing is wrong or the pricing is outrageous.

The one company delivers via the postal service, and I’m expecting a delivery, so I have been thinking about the mail recently.

I do miss getting regular mail delivered to our door. Now we have a community mailbox, and 95% or more of what we get are flyers and the occasional bill. I’m old enough to remember when the post was the most common way of getting news and keeping in touch. Long-distance calls were made after 6 PM or on weekends and were still expensive, so you rarely phoned, sending a letter instead.

The Apostle Paul was a prolific letter writer. He didn’t have the phone or the internet. Depending on which scholars you believe, Paul wrote between seven and thirteen of the New Testament epistles. I’m sure that he wrote many more that never made it into the canon of Scripture.

Every one of his letters contains a corrective of some kind to the church. I’m certain that receiving his letters was a mixed blessing.

This morning, I was reading and praying through his missive to the church in Rome. There is some powerful stuff in his epistle, starting from the opening lines.

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1:1-7

He opens by identifying himself. Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.. Our culture is very sensitive about certain topics. The word servant here is doulos in the Greek, and it is sometimes translated as bondservant. What it really means is slave.

Paul understood that he owed everything to Christ, and his life was dedicated to the Lord’s service. How many professing Christians today understand that truth?

His task was “to bring about the obedience of faith.” That’s interesting wording and a mind-blowing concept.

Coming to faith in Jesus is an act of obedience to God’s calling on our lives. We can debate the mechanics of how that occurs, but to reject God’s call is an act of willful rebellion, an act of incredible sin.

Even our ability to move in that obedience is up to Him. The faith to respond is a gift.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

The Lord created us. He died in our stead. He calls us. He empowers us with the faith we need. All that we are and will be is because of His great love for us. 

He did all that despite our broken and sinful nature, wandering hearts, and tendency to wander. What an incredible set of gifts He has given us.

In reading his letters, we can see that Paul understood all that. By God’s grace, Paul was transformed from a hater of Jesus to a willing slave. How can we not follow his example to love and serve the one who has done it all? 

Take some time today to offer praise and thanksgiving.

Hallelu Yah (Praise God)

Be blessed, 

Kevin
