I hope everyone is having a blessed day today! I was hit with the flu this past week and missed blogging- so I guess I have a little catching up to do? Anyway, just wanted to thank all of you for stopping by- I really appreciate it!!
These are few late afternoon photos while visiting Kalapana.. (location of Kilauea volcano's Pu`u `O`o ocean vent), which hasn't been stirring lately!
I think he was after some shrimp?

In God, Not Out of Trouble
"And seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest" (Jer. 45:5).
Note: Jeremiah has been known as “the weeping prophet” (cf. 9:1; 13:17; 14:17), living a life of conflict because of his predictions of judgement by the invading Babylonians. (you can read more here if you like)
A promise given for hard places, and a promise of safety and life in the midst of tremendous pressure, a life "for a prey."
What is the meaning of "a life for a prey"? It means a life snatched out of the jaws of the destroyer, as David snatched the lamb from the lion. It means not removal from the noise of the battle and the presence of our foes; but it means a table in the midst of our enemies, a shelter from the storm, a fortress amid the foe, a life preserved in the face of continual pressure: Paul's healing when pressed out of measure so that he despaired of life; Paul's Divine help when the thorn remained, but the power of Christ rested upon him and the grace of Christ was sufficient. Lord, give me my life for a prey, and in the hardest places help me today to be victorious.
