Best Day Ever!

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.1 Timothy 6:17

I was blessed to get to attend my second Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, California recently and this time was part of a group called Petal Pushers that helped decorate floats. The theme for this years float design contest was ‘best day ever’ and actually on that day 1 Jan 2025 it was beautiful and sunny even though Santa Ana winds had been predicted. 

Well as you may well know those infamous Santa Ana winds did not occur until 6 days later Tuesday 7 January and helped contribute to the massive destructive fires that have wiped out Pacific Palisades, parts of Pasadena, and a few other areas. It is not the ‘best day ever’ for owners of the very expensive properties that were leveled to ashes. Two days prior to the fire outbreak the emcee at Golden Globe Awards held in Beverly Hills had openly mocked God. Not a good thing to do. Makes you wonder when two days later many people in the Entertainment industry had their mansions destroyed.

My heart aches for anyone with a loss of any kind and we ‘little people’ need not gloat over this because that is just as bad. Be praying for a revival to breakout in the entertainment industry. Be praying for celebrities to come to Jesus. And give thanks daily for life and the blessings of God. 

PRAYER: Lord your goodness reaches to the highest skies and your love is beyond measure. Guide those that have no personal relationship with you to the cross for repentance. Help Southern California churches reach these lost souls. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
