Day of Praise

Sa, 01/04/14, 11th Day of Christmas, "Day of Praise"

1 Corinthians 10:13 - "God is faithful."

Usually I visit the sick at a hospital. Yesterday, I watched a young doctor run past me and tumble down a stair well where I thought I saw a sign, "Please, no running." And then I saw a huge pickup truck scrape the pickup truck in the space next to it when both parking spaces were clearly marked, "Compact vehicles only."

So what do we say to a world full of people, including ourselves, who ignore the signs and hurt themselves and others? We say, "God is faithful."

This Eleventh Day of Christmas remembers the eleven faithful apostles but mostly the unfailing faithfulness of God through Jesus Christ. So let's faithfully read and honor the signs around us and encourage others to do the same. But in the end, the greatest sign, which gives us peace, has three simple words, "God is faithful!"

Praise God!
