May you keep the SON in your eyes

Bill and I have been blessed that we both enjoy traveling, we both love visiting with people, and we aren't afraid to share Jesus. I honestly can't remember who, but one of the ladies from the bible study group that I attend when we are on Maui, signed her email, "Keeping the Son in my eyes" a few years back. I haven't forgotten that because it spoke so deeply to me. Maui is very SUN friendly, and yet heavy in pagan gods. I'm not attacking for there are many places all over the world that are steeped in false gods, even right here in Ulysses.

I was spending some time in Psalm 19 this morning when out of the blue, that phrase was so heavy on my heart. Keep the Son in your eyes, Yolanda. Verse 1 reads:

THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD; THE SKIES PROCLAIM THE WORK OF HIS HANDS.

I took this picture in June of 2005 early one morning as I was leaving for the office. I believe it shows the GLORY OF GOD! How can one not look to the skies and DECLARE His majesty?

Another favorite sunrise picture I have taken and I've titled it Psalm 57:11.

BE EXALTED, O GOD, ABOVE THE HEAVENS; LET YOUR GLORY BE OVER ALL THE EARTH.

I am praying, asking and believing that today you and I not to be found worshipping creation, but instead The Creator. No big bang theory, not even a what if...but oh that we would be found standing on God's TRUTH.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day." Genesis 1:1-5

Father, thank You that the skies proclaim the work of YOUR hands. I ask that we would be found EXALTING You as we shout from the depths of our souls, LOOK AT WHAT GOD HAS DONE! When I get my eyes lifted up and I see the works that You have created, my breath escapes me and I am in total awe. My mind ponders: Lord, what will heaven look like? How can one say there is no God? Father, I thank You for my physical eye sight to see Your beauty and I thank You that You have opened my spiritual eyes. Lord Jesus Christ, may we keep You, The Son, in our eyes. Amen.

**Sisters and Brothers, if we are found keeping our eyes on Jesus Christ, our eyes will be placed where they need to be. Not on what others are doing or not doing, but on the relationship that is most important.....You and Christ.** 1 John 5:21 NLT "Keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts."
