Julie Ackerman Link shares with us,“One snap of the shutter, and there
it was…one beautiful moment captured in time for eternity.
The late summer sun reflected in the breaking wave made the water look like liquid gold splashing onto the shore.
If my friend had not been there with his camera, the wave would have gone unnoticed, like so many others that have come and gone, seen only by God.

Who can imagine how many waves Lake
Michigan has sent rolling onto the shoreline?
Yet each one is unique. As seen in every wave, God makes extravagant beauty out of seemingly mundane things.
Using water and air, He makes wondrous works of art.
We enjoy His gallery in skies above and on earth and sea below. But most of earth’s beauty remains invisible to us; it is seen only by God.

God uses another gallery to display
His glory—humans. We too are made out of something ordinary—dust (Gen. 2:7).
But to us He added an extraordinary ingredient—His very own breath (v.7).
Like waves of the sea and flowers of the field (Isa. 40:6), our lives are brief and seen by few. Yet each one is a beautiful ‘moment’ created by God to say to the world, ‘Behold, your God!’ whose Word will last forever (v.8). —Julie Ackerman Link

Only one life, so live it well,
And keep your candle trimmed and bright;
Eternity, not time, will tell
The radius of that candle’s light. —Miller
We fulfill our purpose when we serve our Creator.”

"Don’t listen to the Word of God
And then ignore what you have heard;
Instead obey God’s will for you—
Be doers of the Word. —Sper
Obedience to God is
an expression of our love for God”
(3/27/12)
"Whenever
life’s burdens oppress you
And
trials are too much to face,
Remember
God’s strength in your weakness;
He’ll
give you His power and grace. —Sper
Wielding
our power is no substitute
for
yielding our will to God’s power.”
