What If Only Sunny Weather...

Whether its gray skylines or headlines

remember, the sun/Son is always near

Up and up the sun is climbing

Though the dawn is dark and gray

The Creator’s perfect Timing

Will drive brooding clouds away

What we see is but a little

We cannot behold the sum

While we are still in the middle

Of what is yet to become

So, when morning skies are bleary

And horizons bleak and gray

Keep the faith, when day is dreary

The sun is not far away

Imagine if on that morning

When we meet HIM face to face

We had never known the yearning

For a better time and place

Take a moment to consider

When we reach life’s solemn end

What if Jesus is a stranger

Not a Comforter and Friend

What if only sunny weather

Blinded faith's eyes to the Day

When time's ever-thinning tether

Breaks its ties and falls away

Up and up we all are climbing

Though for now clouds may prevail

Faith trusts in the perfect timing

Of a Son that does not fail

Give Me Jesus- Fernando Ortega

2 Peter 1:3

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life

through our knowledge of him

who called us by his own glory and goodness....

2 Peter 1:5

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue;

and to virtue, knowledge;

2 Peter 1:6

and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control,

perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

2 Peter 1:8

For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them,

they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive

in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 1:10

Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure.

For if you practice these things you will never stumble,

We live in an age of greatest educated ignorance ever,

as Higher Education Institutions disregard God...

Here Paul is urging believers to increase

their Higher Education in

the only knowledge that can make us wise;

the knowledge of Lord Jesus Christ...

2 Peter 2:20

If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world

through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

only to be entangled and overcome by it again,

their final condition is worse than it was at first.

2 Peter 3:18

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity.

Amen.
