“Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” 2 Peter 1:2

LOOK!!!!! THERE IT IS! I SEE IT! Katie was so excited that I had to be happy for her. She has had a love of space and rocket ships for years. It was Space Station season, and for the last 3 nights I had to pause the TV show so she could ‘go see it!’ Maybe! I say maybe because there were lots of factors involved, some of which she had no control.

We have seen the space station many times over the years. The most impressive was a couple years ago at the top of a mountain in the clear night sky, With no light pollution, and with cell phone in hand, we knew precisely where and when it was going to appear, as well as the angle of flight. Her enthusiasm exited me as well, and I will never forget it. But last night… eh!

There is an App on her phone that allows her to look up into the skies and see what is what. It provides every bit of information necessary to see the space station pass by in the night. But it can’t do anything about obstacles… like trees, buildings or clouds. All of which can block the sighting. But even if it can’t be seen, she KNOWS that it is there.

Staring into the night sky, not seeing a dog-gone thing, I was happy for her joy and excitement. But had to admit… I was bored out of my mind! I just didn’t share her enthusiasm. Unfortunately I DID share THAT information with her. And it made her sad.

Have you ever cared about something SO much that you wanted to share it with the world? Only to find out that the attitude of many is… eh? And when you try to explain, give details and point it out for a better view, it was dismissed with a yawn for lack of interest? Yea… I have too. But then, So has God!

The Knowledge of Jesus Christ, and the pursuit of Him, brings me Grace and Peace… AND JOY! Pursuing Him through the Word is often the greatest treasure I can find. But then, there are times when the clouds of life, or other obstacles, seem to get in the way and I miss it entirely. I KNOW He’s there. But I just can’t see Him. And it makes me sad. But according to The Word… He is set to show up again… SOON… If I just keep my eyes open and on His Word!

Do YOU see and anticipate the Savior?
