No wind this morning and we got the last of the ladders up on the roof. We even got started on the roof sheeting and all is going so well. Last week we needed more equipment to move ahead with the lodge and as always God is so good and everything and more has been provided to get the backfilling done and the walls and roof sheeted. We needed to bring the horses down from the west pasture to the east one by the corral for tomorrow as John from action Towing has a friend that will trim and inspect the the horses hooves.
We needed to pickup some weeping tile and James thought it made for a nice hat, maybe a bit of over kill. Larry got all the weeping tile rock hauled around the basement two pails at a time and never a word of complaining as it had to have been one of the hardest jobs that needed to be done and Larry got her done. PTL.
We were blessed this evening with a ride with some friends to Vermillion for supper, the evening started out a bit dark but soon turned into a great evening for a ride, the air was filled with the smell of fresh rain and pine trees. We did ride past a farm that had a bit of a shig pit smell but not bad.
All in all we wind down another full and exciting day of living a blessed life walking with the King of King and Lord of Lords JESUS.
A Look at Daniel
Daniel (remember- the guy in the lion's den?) He knew how to really listen to God throughout the day. Daniel 6:10 says: "But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God."
Three times a day, Daniel paused to pray and give thanks to God. He was focused on God and listening; that's what a Bible devotion is designed to help us do. They're short, concise and don't take long to read, but they give us a thoughts that will carry us through the day with our focus on God.
Now, in Daniel 9:2: "During the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, was studying the writings of the prophets. I learned from the word of the LORD, as recorded by Jeremiah the prophet, that Jerusalem must lie desolate for seventy years."
What was he doing? Studying the writings of the prophets? That would be the Bible, right? Yes, Daniel also did some serious Bible study. We can't just live on snacks all the time. We need to take time to sit down and enjoy a full meal too.
God was able to do amazing things in the life of Daniel. Much of it was because Daniel was willing to seek God's face and take time to listen to His will. Daniel kept his focus on the eternal through the word of God on a regular basis.
Father, please help me to be like Daniel and seek your face daily. Help me to learn to hear your voice even above the "noise" of the busyness of life and see what's really important. Thank you that You walk with me each and every day and have rescued me from the lion's den.
Read one of Daniel's prayers - Daniel 9:3-19
