Last month a pear-shaped 18 carat pink diamond sold for 28.8 million US dollars. It is said to be the largest of its kind to ever be auctioned for sale. This one of a kind diamond generated a lot of attention. The fact is that when something happens outside of the norm it often gets people’s attention. How unique the announcement was regarding the first Christmas given to the shepherds? It was given through angels. That is definitely outside the norm and it went as follows, “…behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For there is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour Who is Christ the Lord. Has the reality of that event gotten your attention?

Recently a gentleman was driving down a road in Red Oak, Iowa and he ended up taking a wrong turn and came across a home that was on fire. He went to the door and when the four individuals inside heard someone banging and yelling at the door they woke up and managed to escape before they were overtaken with the smoke and fire. Thankfully they woke up when they did! Did you know in the Bible there is a call sent out to all whom know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour but are not living as they should and it has to do with waking up. Romans 13:11 reads, “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Recently Switzerland marked its 175th anniversary of the first railway in its country by connecting 25 electric trains together. By doing so they were able to make a 100 car, 1.9 kilometer train that snaked through the Swiss Alps creating a world record for the longest train. Imagine watching a train pass by that went on for almost 2 kilometers. It would seem like it would go on forever. Did you know the Bible notes something that goes on beyond what we can fathom. That is the knowledge of God. In the book of Romans it reads, “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!”

CTV news put out an article recently addressing the results from a study put out by journal Cell Metabolism. It addresses the area of time sensitivity of when we eat. Apparently eating in the evening makes a difference in our hunger levels, the way we burn calories after we eat, and the way we store fat. These changes help explain why late eating is associated with increased obesity risk. That being the case it is important to realize that eating is time sensitive. Did you know that in the Bible salvation is time sensitive. In the book of 2 Corinthians chapter six it reads, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

CTV news reported recently how a pair of Levi jeans from the 1880’s sold at an auction in a small town in New Mexico for more than $87,000 US dollars. Imagine owning a pair of jeans worth more than $87,000. I don’t know why anyone would want to own such an expensive pair of jeans but to some it would be a real treasure. In the Bible Jesus shares a story of a man who found a treasure in a field and then went and sold all that he had to buy the field so he could have the treasure. The treasure pictured is the kingdom of heaven and is of infinite worth but we can actually possess it. Jesus also shared the way into the kingdom. His words from the book of John reads, “I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but by me.”

BBB news put out an article recently entitled, “Five hours’ sleep is tipping point for bad health.” There was a study by PLoS medicine that tracked the sleep of civil servants in the United Kingdom. According to the study those over 50 years of age have a better chance of avoiding chronic health problems by ensuring they have more than five hours of rest each night. Did you know the Bible has something very essential to say about rest? It is shared by Jesus but He is not referring to physical rest but spiritual. He says, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Have you experienced the benefit of that type of rest?

#1 news reported last month that in New Zealand the likelihood of strong-shaking earthquakes is going to increase. The National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) has forecast a 50% increase on average in the chances of the ground shaking strongly across the country. The increased likelihood is going to change the building design for new builds. Did you know, in the Bible, it shares about a likelihood that currently has a 100 percent chance for everyone and that is the reality of death. It reads in Hebrews 9:27, “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” Thankfully God has made a way possible through the work of Jesus Christ for us to be prepared

November 30 Thankfulness Acting Like a Windshield Wiper
We are into a season when you do not know just what you will encounter when you are driving. It could be snow or it could be rain but fortunately vehicles are equipped with windshield wipers that allow a person to be able to see the road with greater clarity. Did you know there is a means in which a person who has a relationship with God, made possible through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ, can see the goodness of God with greater clarity? Something that is accessible, that can act like a windshield wiper and clear away that which is blurring one’s vision of God. It is thankfulness. Being thankful to God. In first Thessalonians 5:18 it reads, “in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
