Earth Hour 2009

Jeremiah 15:16
Your words were found,and I ate them.
Your words became a delight to me and
the joy of my heart,for I am called by your name,
Lord God of hosts.

Last night all across the world at 8:30pm the lights in most major cities were turned off in honor of the second Earth Hour to promote energy conservation awareness. I believe the varied campaigns that promote environmental causes have been successful in bringing the mesage to the forefront of culture. Even the youngest generation is mindful of all the changes that need to be implemented in order to facilitate a healthier environment. I was talking to a five year old named Ella at Publix in Atlanta Georgia who was shoopping with her mom. I was amazed at just how articulate this little girl was in sharing environmental issues with me. Her mother told me that Ella cringes when she walks by the meat department,and Ella told the clerk how much she disaproved of animal meat being sold for public consumtion. Ella is precious and she has learned the information in kindergarten, because it has been taught and even indoctrinated at the earliest level of acadamia with children who absorb everything like a sponge and obviously retain complex materials and a fervor for causes just like Ella. There is a social and cultural shift in this generation. When I was little my mom took the mantle of "training up a child in the way he should go" with the utmost seriousness; and placed the cloak of Gods word gently upon my shoulders like a living prayer shawl. The characters and teachings of the Bible were so real and vivid in the life of this child so much so that now that I am older I have not departed. My mom began praying for my mate when I was in the womb. In fact if I stand before God there would be no valid excuses if I rejected His sons sacrifice because Ive been led to God by my mom taking the many diligent hours to show me that a loving God has been in pursuit of me. In Deuteronomy6:6 the scripture says: "These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you lie down and you get up." " So that you and your children after you may prosper and so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you for all time(Deut4:40). I believe above all else it is imperative to allow the word of God to preserve the eternal environment of the heart. Yes,God did command in Genesis that man is to be a responsible master over the earth having dominion,but God never intended for mankind to come to a place where the creation would be worshipped instead.
Im issuing a call for everyone in the world to seek God in prayer for an hour a day.
What if you could imagine the love of God descending and come down, seeking you
out whomever you may be and wherever you are. Ask for the kingdom come to be
fulfilled in your life and invading those around you with the love of God who loves the
world as one and every person as if all of His love was focused on just you. God we
must know the glory of Jesus Christ. Let our eyes flow with tears for your renown.
