Sunny Days On The Way

No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead . . . (Philippians 3:13, NLT)

Good Morning!

Summer officially begins today as the earth’s axis tilts toward the sun. Most people in our area of the world look forward to the warmer weather and longer days. Rainy, windy, cold days are exchanged for sunny days.

Actually, this event might call for some singing. Okay . . . don’t be scared but I am definitely singing the words from the now infamous children’s song:
“Sunny day sweepin' the clouds away on my way . . .
(Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?)”

It's true . . . there are times that we need to focus on the sunny days of life rather than all the stormy events in the past. The Apostle Paul wrote about the choice to look forward to what could be rather than focusing on what had or had not occurred in the past. Regardless of circumstances, the presence of God transforms who we are and how we manage life. The Spirit allows us to see through the storms to see the presence and power of the Son of God. Nothing can compare with His presence. Take time today and see the power of God transforming the stormy times of life to sunny days on the Way.

Ask God for the power to see beyond the storms of life.
Believe God has the power to sweep away the storm clouds that hang over you.
Look forward to the future—sunny days are on the Way.

Learning with you to look forward to the sunny days on the Way.
