My new semester at SAGU has begun. It's fun as the students are excited to begin learning about Theology and Bible. While I'm also excited for a fresh start, I had a few items I wanted to mention to keep the fire going in all of our lives. Here goes.
The Mercy of the Lord is New Every Morning. God's love is not dependent on the seasons, our attitudes, or effort. He simply loves us with the abundance of Grace and Mercy that His Scriptures declare.
Rest is essential to mental health. The break that comes between University semesters is a powerful reminder of the value of rest. One of the ten commandments is to remember the Sabbath. In our busy culture this is often the first thing to go. God created us to need rest. We need rest for our physical body as well as our mind and spirit. The Bible has a lot to say about this as well, Jesus promised to provide rest for those who labored and are heavy laden.
Knowledge is power. The sage said it well, the more I learn, the more I learn I have to learn. Reading and classifying is also powerful as we assimilate information and relate concepts one to the other, we become more fruitful and effective. This power set of tools also gives us the capacity to do more and add value to our work and relationships.
So you're not in school? Open your Bible, go read a book, check out a new web page or learn a technological skill. The enhancements will add value to your life all the while reminding you that "His mercies are new!"
