My Lord, What A Morning!*


SCRIPTURE

Luke 21:20-24 (NRSV)

A messianic warning

"When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those inside the city must leave it, and those out in the country must not enter it; for these are days of vengeance, as a fulfillment of all that is written. Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people; they will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken away as captives among all nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.


DEVOTION--Today is Saturday Psalmody; the mediation is offered as a psalm from my heart! If you would like a more traditional devotion, please search the archives for a title that appeals to you! (smile)


She’s shouting

The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

I’m so tired of her dire predictions

Of things to come

The sky is not falling

All is well

I am happy

Comfortable

At ease

Why must she always be bothering

ME

With those prophesies

Of doom

And gloom

When all about me

Sunshine

Prosperity

Filthy lucre

Abounds

HALLELUJAH!

What did you say?

All Hail King JESUS!

My Lord,

The sky is actually

FALL

IN

G…
