SUMMER’S HERE!

What does the word summer meant to you? 

For some it means vacation, relaxation and family gatherings.  Some look forward to it and some don’t like the heat.  The Bible says, “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.”  Ecclesiates 3:1

 Summer is a busy time with lots of things to do.  We here at Waynesburg have VBS, the pork chop dinner/fireworks get together for June 29th and other activities to look forward to this summer.  One of the hardest things for me to do during the summer is to not forget it is not about me.  We go on our annual family boating trip, take bike rides and do a lot of things that I like to do.  It is easy to let God slide when I’m having fun.  The one thing that helps me to remember Him is to praise Him.

 Whether I’m sitting on the boat at Dale Hollow Lake, riding through the State Parks on our motorcycle, coming to Bible study or sitting in a pew on Sunday morning, I see His creation and I praise Him for allowing me to enjoy being in His presence.  I wonder sometimes why God made all of the things of summer for us to enjoy and then I remember Acts 17:27, “God did this so that men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though he is not far from each one of us.”

 This summer look for God in all that you do. Take the time to “Be still and know that He is God.”  Psalm 46:10  Give Him praise.  Invite Him along and acknowledge His presence with you whatever you do this summer.

Enjoying Christ's presence,
