Early phone call from my Molly reported a billboard on Poplar---going east on Poplar before you get to Grisanti's ---not sure what it was advertising. "Mom, you should see it." It says "abunDANCE"---God is giving you an abundance of Himself in your new Dance. A-men, Molly!
Abundance is definitely the "word of the day" abundance of food, abundance of love, abundance of mercy from the Lord. In Psa. 72, a royal psalm, Solomon prays that the king's reign will be characterized by many things--- verse 7 ….asks that "in his days may the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace until the moon is no more." (NASB) I know who My King is and already am experiencing abundant peace. (though a little out of context with the psalm) His peace is reigning in my life today. The psalm concludes with, "Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel who alone works wonders." Romans 5:17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life thought the One, Jesus Christ,
My day concluded as I saw a recap of the inauguration with YoYo Mah playing---the tune was "Simple Gifts" which is the same as "The Lord of the Dance." Wow---Lord, they're playing our song (it was Allyson's first)!
