Sunset in June

First sunset in June

Speaks loud and proud

Colors more vibrant

In the framework of clouds

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Sunset in June

Is there a message

Keep the Faith

While witnessing the wreckage

 

The enemy is raging

His plans will not succeed

Like this sunset in June

My word will impede

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA 

Speak and declare

Stand and believe

Sunset in June

Hope is an anchor when received

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

Faith Hope and Love

These three remain

The greatest is love

If we ascertain

 

 

When the violence ends

The evil is spent

Sunset in June

Pray they repent

 

Revival is coming

Will sweep across the land

When this carnage is over

I’ll make a demand

 

 

Each must give account

For their devious actions

Beautiful Sunset in June

Hope is His glorious attraction

Today I moved these wooden word plaques to a different area. I had the tape measure ready. Wanting them centered and even, I was holding them trying to get a visual of how I wanted them arranged. I wasn’t sure if I would leave a space in between each one or have them touching. Grabbing them and holding them together I decided on the placement seen in the picture.

I thought this is it and grabbed for my tape measure. Just when I did I had a revelation: If you center hope the placement for faith and love become simple.

Tonight the sunset was so spectacular that I had to grab my camera and go get some pictures. You can have hope in the midst of madness,  you can have hope in a tunnel of turbulence, and you can have hope in the center of crisis. The sun shining in the center of the clouds made the colors magnificent. Keeping Jesus in the center will give us the beautiful prize to run after.

 I love when The Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain and shows me a message in a message. Yes I felt like God was speaking to me in my simple task. “Center hope” and faith and love line up. Keep Jesus as the anchor for your soul and have hope in God. Then just like we see, faith and love automatically hem us in. And by all means do not leave a space in between. These three are to be continual just as the apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:13.

“Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love–yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run.” (TPT).

In a time of evil and violence I choose to have Hope (Hebrews 6:19) as my center, with faith and love hemming me in. How about you?

 

Sharing my thoughts brought about by the first glorious Sunset in June and rearranging some simple wooden word plaques and a word from The Lord that changes everything. Keep your eyes fixed and feet shod. And by all means if you see injustice do all you can to stop it. If you cannot stop it, report it.

 

God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord cause His countenance to rise upon you and give you Shalom.

Until next time, thank you for listening with me. Laurette
