May 21st
God's Eye
It was not the same old stay in the jacuzzi (hot tub). Here is how it came about. The day had been long, there had been a number of stressful things on my mind. I asked my wife, Nancy, if she wanted to go into the hot tub which is on our patio. She replied that she wanted to finish some cross stitching while watching TV.
So, I got into the warm water -rested my head on the corner of the tub and became IMMEDIATELY aware that something was different than two nights before. What was it? I lifted my eyes toward the ceiling where we have one of two sky/lights. There it was. What?? THE MOON. From my position the moon was centered perfect in the middle of the window. Being in the darkness below made the brightness of the moon even more apparent. I mean IMMEDIATELY there came to be the words of David in Psalm 8:3.
"When I consider your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon,...what is man that you are mindful of him? and the son of man that you visit him?"
I knew that what I was experiencing had to be shared with you, as I am doing. You see I knew in my head that fact. But I was letting all of the little things cloud my understanding. That night as the moon did shine on me it was like God shining his word to me - personally - that "I AM aware of you." It was then in my heart.
For you, my friend, let me share that the word, "visit" means to give attention to or care for. That is God's word to you at this hour. He cares about you. He is mindful of you and your situation.
May I pray for you?
Lord, I ask, in the name of Jesus, that this dear friend truly know that you are mindful of him. Whatever may be a concern for him at this hour is known to you. You do CARE for this one. They are special. Please shine your love upon them.
Amen
