Look Beyond

     Look beyond the stars this weekend to the heavens. The purposes and plans of God are beyond what we see and touch. As we honor our fallen heroes and reminisce about our loved ones, think on our Holy God. We won’t understand the fallen world around us and the suffering we experience. But God redeems. Think beyond the stars to His truth.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Philippians 4:8

     The words above speak volumes in opposition to what we see and hear in the world around us each day. Look above and beyond to what is pure and excellent, what is lovely and true, what is praiseworthy. It is Jesus. Think about such things.

Jesus,

We honor those gone before us this weekend. We thank You for reminding us of what is true and lovely and excellent. Keep our minds steadfast on You today and always.

Amen

See you Tuesday!
