In 1980 a young man from Rwanda was forced by his tribe to either renounce Christ or face certain death. He refused to renounce Christ, and he was killed on the spot. The night before he had written the following commitment which was found in his room:
“I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast, I have stepped over the line, the decision has been made- I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed vision, worldly talking, cheap giving & dwarfed goals.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I won’t give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ.
I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till everyone knows, work till He stops me & when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear.”

For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised;
He is to be feared above all gods.
And then the next 2 lines struck me:
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the LORD made the heavens.
What are the objects of comparison? - people made gods their idols BUT God made the heavens? Incomparable! What a great God we worship!

As I looked through the photos which I took last night of the lunar eclipse, my mind came to Psalm 8:3-4:
When I observe Your heavens,
the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars,
which You set in place,
what is man that You remember him,
the son of man that You look after him?

Unless the LORD had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
If I say, "My foot slips",
Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.
In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.
Psalm 94:18-19

Who Am I
I'm Lois, a human being saved and currently alive by God's grace.
[I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Galations 2:20]
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.”
