Daily Devotional – A Look at the Book #410

A Though for today by Papa “J”

Yes, He looked at the Day and here it was the two million five hundred and fifty five days since that first day found in Genesis 1:5. Human thoughts on this subject do not control the outcome. Imagine this! To you and me those days represent seven thousand years, but only seven days to God. 1 Peter 3:8

MORE THOUGHTS

Cutie Pie, our female parakeet observes herself in the mirror every morning. Her cage is sitting on a table directly across from my desk. She does a little primping and feather dusting and then settles in for the long haul of the day listening to music. I wonder if she is a discerner of the times since the radio station has a news section on the hour. It may be that she discerns the times better than those who the news is directed at or even the news person. This morning the talk is on the mardi-gras and fat Tuesday. The comments of the news person called out to my attention. The news was: “Most of these party events end at midnight, but here it is 6 AM and this is live partying is still going on, here on Bourbon Street”. Another person in the news room said; “That’s odd, they should have ended at midnight as in past tradition”. The news person said. “It’s not odd at all, everything this year is running late; the mardi-gras, Easter and college break. It is all late, so party, party, party! The point! Are you a discerner of the times in which we live? If not, please take a serious look at 1 Timothy 4:1-5. Awe heck! Maybe you should read both of the Timothy Epistles.

Lamentations 3

Lamentations 3:4 – Some seventy years ago with the bombing of Pearl Harbor someone said that the Japanese woke up a sleeping giant. At that time our nation was like the man Jeremiah speaks of here in this passage. As a nation like an old man sluggish in movement, ruddy in complexion and a backbone appearing as broken to the world around us, the outlook was doom.

Lamentations 3:5 – Also, because of the talk of surrounding nations, some in this nation succumbed to woe and bitterness of heart. We rounded up Japanese citizens and locked them up for a season. As a nation we broke a few more bones trying to collect our thoughts of damage control.

Lamentations 3:6 – We again currently live in dark times, but unlike the sleeping giant, now we show signs like the agonal respirations as of a dying man whose heart is broken. What will it take to restore this nation to the sound of Sinus-Rhythm? (The sound of a normal heart), or will the heart of this nation, flat line? I do not what to sound like an alarmist, but what to heck. The hand writing is on the wall and I am not the one who put it there.

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. God has numbered the days of our kingdom, our scales of justice have become tarnished with perversion and greed and our kingdom is divided with evil against evil, thus as Jesus states in Matthew 12:22-30, that kingdom will fall. Daniel 5:24-29.
