you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light...
I've been seeing this trend on Twitter that says Page so-and-so of 366 - and today, of course, January 9th, is DAY 9. Some have actually seen this as a reference to a diary, or perhaps a journal. And, I think that it can be helpful to us to see our lives as a story - not only reflecting on God at work in our lives this day, but also being able to look back and see how He has shown Himself to us; giving Him thanks for significant events in our lives, and realizing that He has had His hand on us.
Memories can be powerful, and we can draw strength - and great joy - from those positive occurrences in our lives, as well as from perhaps instances that weren't particularly pleasant, but through which God was able to show Himself to be faithful to us. So, look at the story of your life through God's eyes, and document what He is doing and saying today...and think about how your story is part of God's story, the overwhelming grand design of God's kingdom on earth, displaying His glory through you!! So on this Page 9 of the 366-page story of 2012 - give honor to the author and finisher of our faith story.
Another number for you - 316! That's not only a familiar Scriptural reference, but did you know that is the number of passing yards that Tim Tebow amassed yesterday in the Broncos' improbable playoff victory? Talk about someone through whom God is writing His story - so surrendered to the will of God, so committed to excellence...people are noticing. I think there will be a renewed interest in Tebow-ing this week.
