NKD Faith

 



I'm not sure who will have their life changed today by this news, but they have taken the harmful red dyes and artificial flavors out of Flaming Hot Cheetos.  They are called NKD Cheetos.  I'm sure it was a mistake that they were not placed on the new food pyramid now, because it must mean what is left in them is good for us.  What a time to be alive!


Don't we wish the harmful and fake could be taken out of everything?  Could we just deal with
the beneficial and authentic in this world?  No "likes" that supposedly measure our influence or worth, or AI that generates fake news stories or homework assignments.  



Things are not always as they appear.  Clouds can keep us from seeing the sun shining, and things look dismal and we doubt God knows what's going on down here.  

Though all this can, if we let it, ambush our confidence and security in our daily life, it actually is a great time to be alive.  While our world is changing at the speed of light, our sovereign Lord has been the same since He invented the speed of light (and sound).  

"But You are always the same; You will live forever." Ps 102:27

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God,
"who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Rev 1:8

⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜

And the authentic real news is He sees us for who we really are and He loves us anyway, always and forever:

"But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us 
while we were still sinners." Romans 5:8

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should
be called children of God!  And that is what we are!" 1 John 3:1

⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜
⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜

God's 'steadfast love' appears about 200 times in His Word.  He must really want us to understand that it's unshakeable, and everlasting.  It doesn't matter what part of the world we are in, what our situation is, what clouds are overcasting and impairing our vision of His power - He is still reigning in heaven and the earth belongs to Him.  

"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.  The world and 
all its people belong to Him." Ps 24:1



Don't be deceived by the clouds of this world. Our God reigns!  He is real and authentic and worshipping Him with all we have is the most life-giving nourishment for our body and soul.

✙ Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

  "A puppy is the ultimate distraction" ~ Philip Rosenthal, TV writer Ever sit down to check your grocery list on your phone, then start downloading digital coupons, then go to Pinterest to check the recipe and start pinning for a half hour, but start looking up whether an ingredient is high in sugar or carbs, remember to log everything you've eaten for the day in your app and get depressed because you're already at your limit and it's only 10a.m., so think that maybe you'll go exercise to burn some cals and carbs so you can eat the rest of the day, realize you don't have any workout clothes clean so start a load of laundry, notice how dusty the wood floors are on the way to the laundry room so give that a quick dry mop, then figure why stop there so dust the furniture as well, catch a glance at the clock and realize you have 15 minutes before you have to leave, so frantically fix your hair and makeup, rushing out the door wondering what happened to the mo...

How to Fight Back the Darkness

  Crosswalk image Nothing makes Satan weak in the knees more than when we are on our knees."   ~ Skip Heitzig, Pastor Death.  Killing.  Violence.  What do we do with such heavy hearts in such a dark time? With the knot in our throats and the pit in our stomachs that are weighing on our souls?  When we look around us, nothing on this broken earth can fill our void of sadness and despair.   So we look up to the One who created all things and who alone has the power to bring light and help: "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.   What does help look like?  When does it come?  How much will we get?  Anger, confusion, bitterness, hostility, helplessness and fear overcome us in different ways and at different times.  We want reasons- we ask, "Why, Lord, why?" We instinctively want a reckoning- someone to pay for the injustice that has happened....

Christmas in July

  Google image "I will honor Christmas in my heart and try  to keep it all year." ~ Scrooge, A Christmas Carol 🌞Alright, alright - I hear you.  Please don't talk about Christmas while you are enjoying summer.  (But someone needs to hear this - there are only 157 days left.)  And you know what comes out  first- the school supplies, then one day later the autumn decor.  Then three days after that is Christmas everything.  And my happy meter spikes:)  I can already smell the pumpkin spice latte.☕ Now some may think I'm trying to throw shade on the whole summer experience. 😎 And you would be right.  I only endure summer because fall is just around the corner, and I am finally able to celebrate this time of year appropriately, without a start to school.   I will admit I love the poppies that are growing in my yard.  And of course the baby deer.  And the garden tomatoes and peaches.  OK, summer does have some redeemi...
