I Hear Your Voice Speaking

THE SONSHINE
Sunshine in the midst of clouds and clouds in the midst of sunshine.
The warmth and brightness of the sun, makes for a comfortable place, a welcoming, a feel good feeling.  The cool and darkness of a cloud cover, makes for eeriness, uncertainty and a dreary feeling.  How do and how can these two mix and intertwine in a life?
When life is rolling along, good things are all around and that feel good feeling is a welcome to the day, the clouds above are just an added fluff of comfort.
But when life is bumpy, full of potholes, troubled things are weighing the day down with a heavy feeling and the sun is no where to be seen, causing an overcast feeling.
Our emotions are dictated by what we feel and see. So how are we to keep those emotions where the Lord would have them be so that our lives would be engulfed in peace and comfort regardless of what the surrounding circumstances are.
As we look above to see sunshine or clouds,  God's word tells us to do exactly the same,  Look above to see the Son.
"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" Col. 3:2
Paul tells us in Philippians,
"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure  whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do,  and the God of peace will be with you." Phil. 4:8-9
Things, people, circumstances, situations and just life in general, can and do set our day in motion. We can roll along just fine or we can stumble and fall. Either way, when we look up, let us look beyond the sunshine and clouds and gaze upon the  SON, Jesus Christ.
