Son Catchers

Do you ever feel alone?  As this world gets more and more corrupted, we can easily get discouraged into thinking we are the only ones left…. Elijah thought that too.  In I Kings 19: 13-14

When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
He replied, "I have been very zealous for the LORD God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."

When we were in Hawaii, there was no doubt the evidence of fleshly entertainment, and ample supply in any department you wanted.  But yet, the evidence of the SON was bright and clear too!'

It was easy to get discouraged in the crowds of people indulging in self sin and greed.  Yet every morning there was a row of people with their cameras lined the rock pier protectors……waiting for the Sun!  It was such a visual for me.  Though I have no idea if these people were believers, but they still sought the sun and the magnificent beauty it’s rising and setting brought. 

It thrilled my heart to see folks still interested in something as UN-techy  and UN-plugged as the sunrise and the sunset.  So I'm not the only one….who traveled a looooooong way to see the SON…..do mighty things as bring the sun up and down each day in all the brilliance that He does things. 

Just the same, you are not the only believer on the planet.  There are times we feel all alone.  Perhaps in beliefs, or soap boxes.  Maybe we even feel all alone in church…..

But know this God has a remnant.  There are people who still follow the SON.  They wait for the SONrise every morning and relish with every  SONset.  They are the people who worship the SON!

Be encouraged……you are not alone! 

SONshine spreads everywhere!
