Blessings of Listening

The heavens proclaim the glory of God.

The skies display his craftsmanship.

Day after day they continue to speak;

night after night they make him known.

They speak without a sound or word;

their voice is never heard.

Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,

and their words to all the world.

Psalm 19:1-4

(Green Jays in Choke Canyon State Park)

Blessings of Searching The Prophecies

…the message proclaimed by the prophets.

You must pay close attention to what they wrote,

for their words are like a lamp

shining in a dark place—

until the Day dawns,

and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.

…no prophecy in Scripture ever came from

the prophet’s own understanding…

those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit,

and they spoke from God.

2 Peter 1:19-21

Blessings of Knowing The Scriptures

The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise,

as some people think.

No, he is being patient for your sake.

He does not want anyone to be destroyed,

but wants everyone to repent.

But the day of the Lord will come 

as unexpectedly as a thief.

Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise,

and the very elements themselves

will disappear in fire,

and the earth and everything on it

will be found to deserve judgment.

2 Peter 3:9-10
