Beat The Heat

Outdoor fountains just seem to “beg” for pennies or people.  One of the cutest pictures we have of our oldest son, Danny, is playing in an outdoor fountain in the hot Dallas, Texas heat.  That day, I recall both pennies and people present!

Micah wrote about the coming of The Messiah and the prophet’s description of Christ made me think of just how refreshing a fountain is. “This One will be our peace … Like dew from the Lord, like showers on vegetation … Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep.” (5:5,7,8)  In the “heat” of life, don’t just IMAGINE how refreshing Christ can be.  He is both refreshment and strength to weary souls.  Mr. Bill commented today how much his food plot loved the dew, and was sure he could hear it “singing.”  Well, since creation can proclaim the works of the Lord, so should we!  Jump in the fountain of Christ and beat the heat!

Dear Lord,

Praise ye the Lord, hallelujah! I rejoice in Your might works; for Jesus Christ, my Redeemer and Lord.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
