of Groundhog Day on Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. For the second year in a
row, the world's most famous groundhog saw his shadow, which, according to legend, means
six more weeks of winter.  However, as only God controls the weather this remains to be seen.

Monday Meditation: Storms Bring Out The Eagles But The Little Birds Take Cover

 

 

 

"But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up
 with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk, and not faint."
(Isaiah 40:31)

When the "storms of life" gather darkly ahead,

I think of these wonderful words I once read

And I say to myself as "threatening clouds" hover:

Don't "fold up your wings" and "run for cover",

But like the eagle "spread wide your wings"

and "soar far above" the trouble life brings.

For the eagle knows that the higher he flies,

The more tranquil and brighter become the skies...

And there is nothing in life God ever asks us to bear

That we can't soar above "On The Wings Of A Prayer,"

And in looking back over the "storms you passed through",

You'll find you gained strength and new courage, too,

For in facing "life's storms" with an eagles wings

You can fly far above earth's small, petty things.

And I could get so romantic tonight..."

According to Space.com look to the east at sunset tonight to see the Full Snow Moon
rise among the stars of the constellation known as Cancer the Crab, as the gas giant
Jupiter shines close at hand in the winter sky. 

February's full moon will reach peak illumination at 5:09 EST rising opposite
 of the setting sun.  This month lovely Luna is called the Snow Moon, which refers
to the heavy snowfall that is common in many places in the United States at
  this time of the year.   South Jersey received an abundance of snowfall last week 
 for the first time in recent years.  I think there is nothing more beautiful 
than silvery moonlight bedazzling a snowy landscape.

🌕 Hope the skies are clear where you're at tonight!🌕

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Praise You In This Storm

 

 

 

 

"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name, you are Mine! 
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the
rivers, they will not overwhelm you.  When you walk through the fire, you will not
be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze."
(Isaiah 43:1-2)

Dr. Charles Stanley: The Walk Of Faith

 

 

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
(2 Corinthians 5:7) 

 

Instead of fixing our attention on how big the obstacle is, let's begin

focusing on the greatness of our God. If we'll trust and obey Him,

His Spirit will equip us for the challenge, and our faith will glorify Him.

-Dr. Charles Stanley
