Psalm 30:4, 5  
“Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones, 
and praise his holy name. 
For his anger lasts only a moment, 
but his favor, a lifetime. 
Weeping may stay overnight, 
but there is joy in the morning.” (CSB)

Sometimes a good and timely reminder is in order. If you are a follower of Jesus, your story ends in glory. 

Why can a canary sing songs in the night? He knows he is loved. 

Why can you and I persevere through seemingly endless pain and adversity? We know the end of the story. 

Once upon a time, someone attempted to write a better ending than the one Christ-followers share. It was a failure. A Christian’s death, like our savior’s, ends with resurrection, ascension, and the immediate presence of God forever. 

Heat getting hotter?

Work getting harder?

Relationships getting more complicated?

You are permitted a knowing smile. You are bound for the tearless land of peace and joy, and love that endures forever. 

Consider yourself reminded. 

I will remind myself and others of what lies beyond all of our discomfort.

Our Father, a preacher once said that, for the Christian, this world is the only hell we will ever know. For those who do not know Jesus, this world is the only heaven they will ever know. My desire is for everyone everywhere to leave this world bound only for your presence. May hell’s habitations remain as empty as possible. Give us the perspective we need for the problems of this and all of our days. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 92:12-15

Psalm 92:12-15
The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
Planted in the house of the LORD,
they thrive in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
healthy and green,
to declare, “The LORD is just;
he is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

Daily D – Matthew 22:15-17

Matthew 22:15-17 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to trap him by what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are truthful and teach truthfully the way of God. You don’t care what anyone thinks nor do you show partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

Daily D – Psalm 90:12

Psalm 90:12 Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.

Daily D – Matthew 17:1-9

Matthew 17:1-9 After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and his brother John and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured in front of them, and his face shone like the sun; his clothes became as white as the light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here. If you want, I will set up three shelters here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown and were terrified.
Jesus came up, touched them, and said, “Get up; don’t be afraid.” When they looked up they saw no one except Jesus alone.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Don’t tell anyone about the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

Daily D – Matthew 15:34

Matthew 15:34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them. “Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”
