There is an older song "He's Got the Whole World in HIs Hands" that was popular. Do you know it? 

It is hard to say the title in my head... toward the end it gets sung.

So this is a visual of that song.

This is my new favorite computer generated, AI, image. Almost. Some of the cows look a little weird, but...

Look at the horse. He's got a few extra legs. The AI has a difficult time with horse's legs and people's fingers.

The revised version is below the odd version.

Revised horse with four legs and some changes to cows.

John 16:13

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth, He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he years, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

So, what is yet to come? Is the Holy Spirit telling you what is coming next? When you see something "in the world" happening does that say something to you? Does something in you say, "oh, look, I know what that means"?

He tells us that the Holy Spirit will let us know in advance what is coming. He does. And the bible tells us about "wars and rumors of wars". Pestilence and turmoil. 

Are you ready? And what does "being ready" mean?

When winter comes, do you put away your summer clothes? Do you get out your winter clothes? Do you put the storm windows on the house? Do you prepare? Do you worry about it or fret? No you just do it because you know winter is coming.

Do you send your kids to school? Yep. Why? To prepare for the future.

Christians (and everyone else) spend a great deal of their day in preparation. They prepare meals, buy groceries, do all sorts of things in preparation.

Yet...

When it comes to the return of Christ in the rapture we don't prepare. We aren't ready.

Know one knows when he comes. Yet we feel his soon returning. How soon is soon? And how will the world continue to devolve beforehand.

So the Holy Spirit is a part of a Christians life. We (I) don't understand all He can do or does do. One of the things we miss is that the bible tells us that "he will tell you what is to come."
And he does...

Lots of us remember the start of this verse, the end of this verse and some of the middle.

I am persuaded that... nothing... will be able to separated us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It's Saturday and we've had a good day. It just rained a little and stopped.

Yesterday we sat up rain barrels. The cold we get this time of year shouldn't affect them too much. It will help Pam water one of her gardens.
