Sunday Words of Encouragement September 10, 2017

There are times I am in awe of God's creation. Really, I am always in awe but sometimes I recognize it more than others.
We are preparing for the outerbands of Hurricane Irma to reach us in the next 24 hours. The forecast is for winds that may reach up to 48mph. The storm is already bringing damage to south Florida, and due to size, it is expected most the state will feel the impact.
I am reminded of God's awesome hand -- in creation, protection, salvation and ultimately in judgment.

This awesome hymn tends to give me goosebumps and I decided to share it today.

Matthew 24:42-44 (NIV)
42“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

We are praying for safety for all of the people of Florida.
