Sowing and Reaping

“The Lord is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage” (Nahum 1:2). God is jealous for His glory and for those He loves. It’s impossible to violate the glory and honor of God and those He loves and not face His wrath.

“The Lord is slow to get angry, but His power is great, and He never lets the guilty go unpunished” (v.3). God is long-suffering. He stays His anger with mercy. But we must never confuse His patience with impotence. Nahum gives us a portrait of His almighty power in verses 3-6. God is not only just; He also has the power to execute justice.

“The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him” (v.7). Jonathan Edwards reminds us that we’re all sinners in the hands of an angry God. He said, “Therefore let everyone that is out of Christ, now awake and fly from the wrath to come.” Only those who have taken refuge in Christ will be able to face eternal life with confidence.

All of us must one day stand before God. Do you know Jesus as your personal savior?  Are you ready?

THE BLESSING CONTINUE-PRAISE THE LORD!

 

September 8th is our Wedding Anniversary, so we decided to make our way up to visit “Sunset Crater National Monument”, located just North and East of Flagstaff. (We had never been there).

  

We did enjoy the get away, but mostly we saw, Rain, Rain, and, more Rain. For 2 days and nights, we were blessed with Rain. So, let no one tell you it doesn't rain in Arizona.

  

The rock that Kathy is standing behind is a memorial dedicated to the pioneer women of Arizona.

We were able to do a little exploring, but mostly through the car windows.

  

This is the location of an earth hit by a large meteorite (I wonder what the people living here at the time must have thought). How many may have lost their life. It is an awesome sight, a must see in Arizona (We want to come back when it’s not so wet).

  


  

This is a large area set aside as a National Park at the West side of the Navaho Reservation.

  

Back in Coolidge, we attended the City recognizing our police cadets. What a fine group of young people. We are very proud of them.

On 9.11.2013, we attended a celebration dedicated to the heroes of September 11, 2001.

  

Vaya con Dios, until next time- Remember! God Loves you, He Always Has and Always Will!
