"The peg driven in so firmly shall be wrenched out and give way, till everything that hung upon it shall come down" Isaiah 22.25
Stormy winds
What is the main Lego that holds the world in place? What holds your life together?.Each having their little house. Isaiah prophesied a day when the master-Lego (peg) would be wrenched loose and once expunged the whole society would drop like ten-thousand cables on a suspension bridge snapping at once.Do you know what is holding your life together today?What are your hopes pinned on? Diana and I had quite a week leading up to the "Official" engagement this past Sunday.What was to be an awesome day could have been disastrous.Our big day arrives and I wake up to stormy weather, get disturbing news that my best man had a heart attack late Saturday night, and on my way to pick Diana up for service,I get a second call that my house maybe burglarized.Oh yeah,and then there's my bloody ear,don't ask..please don't ask.Nothing in our world is stable or sure unless it has a secure foundation. Our master Lego has a nebulous name called God. Some see it as a higher power, morality, Law, perhaps truth but whatever name you give “it”, actually “Him”, we are all aware that there is a central “something” that holds it all together. God certainly held us together while it seemed everything and everyone was falling apart around us last Sunday.
What doesn't make sense
Does anything make sense without God? An atheist has been described as “a
man who has no invisible means of support”.We had a wonderful move of the Holy Spirit Sunday at church.An awesome time of fellowship afterward and while on our way to visit Ed in the hospital we get a call that our beautiful little niece Mallory had lodged a Lego up her nose!...again don't ask ,please don't ask! When the going gets rough we need an unseen anchor. No matter what happened Sunday, what made Fathers day special is that our Father God was the center of our fathers day holding us together. If God isn't there, then we have no framework, no star to steer our little boat by, and we are tossed from wave to wave of inane and meaningless existence, with no star, and hence no harbor.Everything else is a house of cards and fallen Lincoln logs.Is everything that hung on your original Lego starting to fall? Your hopes,your dreams? Look at your life today,your relationships and center them with the foundation of the Father's perfect love.
A Rainbow Connection
David asked, “I
f the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:3) Foundations.Our forefathers took the mallet of freedom and drove the Lego of righteousness into its hole and hung the hopes of a new world upon it. Our new world is held together by our Heavenly Father and this is his day! When we get a secure footing on biblical truth and learn to trust, fear, obey and love God; Our Dad's hand will hold our life secure . Rousseau said, “If there is no God we would have to invent one to keep people sane”. Well there is a God and He alone can keep us sane and centered when all else is seemingly crumbling around us. As we fellow shipped and prayed with Ed,(who will be ok by the way) 
We get the call Mallory and the Lego are no longer symbiotic.Crisis averted! Oh,and no one broke into my house,it was just one of those Romeoville wind's that unlodged the garage door.The ear is fine,again I would appreciate it if you didn't ask! Please don't ask.On Fathers day-Engagement day God proved to be the master Lego himself holding us and everything together.Romans 8.28 with a lemon slice at Chili's.In the end,we had a rainbow connection.Our Father's day ended with sunshine and pizza.He even arranged for Diana and me to get a free Starbucks...............
What a mighty Papa we serve!
