Dear Friends,
Summer is bringing so many sweet things to my garden. Wrens are singing, bunnies nibbling and hummingbirds are sipping nectar from the flowers. In the evening when the air is steamy with heat and humidity, I get the hose out to water the flowers. Fireflies come dancing out of their hiding places beneath the leaves as the mist falls on the plants like a gentle rain. Things like fireflies bring back childhood memories for many people. We remember running into the house and asking for a jar for these delightful insects. Just watching them dance above the spray from the hose brings a smile with the memory.
God created us with an ability to remember things. Many people today write journals, biographies, and autobiographies because they feel a calling to record events that need to be remembered. These can be important for future generations.
His Word is full of precious promises that give us assurance and hope. Simon Peter was given a message full of promises of hope for us. Take a few minutes and read 2 Peter chapter 1 and you will see a powerful message that calls us to hold on to His promises and faith that Jesus was the dearly loved Son of God. Peter passed down these words as reminders for us that this is true, and that he had heard the voice from heaven.
2 Peter 1:16-17
"For we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord jesus Christ. We saw His majestic splendor with our own eyes when He received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice from the majestic glory of God said to him, 'This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.'"
