Luke 2:13-15
And suddenly
there was with the angel
a multitude of the Heavenly Host
praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest,
and
on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!"
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us!"
How are we going to take the every day and make "Glory to God in the Highest and on earth peace among those whom He is Pleased"?
An Exercise of Daily Faith and God in All Events.
How to make sure we see Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus saw the willingness of Father God ' every day'. We live more of a social media more apparent life of Frank Zappa and the Mothers, fast-paced find-the-time life. And yet - God is where everything happens that matters.
Why "Smoke on the Water?"
Smoke on the Water - LET THERE BE LIGHT
Genesis describes an environment like a terrarium
FIRE IN THE SKY
Obviously, The Glory of God Ascending to Heaven
And will Return.
I had a wonderful God given dream of my Grandmother Anita visiting me from Heaven. This dream was like a phone call. I could know Grandmother Anita was truly with me and, yet, not see her. In college, I was thrilled and thrilled and thrilled when Grandmother Anita would call me. We would be touched and tender and tearful together.
Grandmother Anita told me, "You please the Lord. And seek to do this every day. Pleasing God is so very easy. He loves us so much. Each day, just trying to please God fulfills His every purpose. God works His Plan. Live leaning into His Grace and Do His Will. And God is so very pleased and loves you even more than I do. "
The Awesome Wonder of God in all aspects of our day.
As we love The Lord, His Son Jesus and simply want God to be pleased. God will supply the His own opportunities. No one working for God offends Him. (Very much!) Abraham's life did not plan his day as swashbuckling. God listened to Abraham argue for the good of the community. And, really, if Abraham had argued that God saved people from town hell like Lot and then Sodom, then God wouldn't want Isaac killed. God would have still provided the ram.
God would still give us Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Savior of the world. Why?
God does not desire human sacrifice. The Gospel. This is not a nationalized Church. This is the Eternal Word of God. His Gospel.
Again, God would still give us Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Savior of the world. Why?
Hosea 6:6, Matthew 9:13
God wants MERCY more than sacrifice.
God is
The Almighty
and is DELIGHTFUL!
Hebrews 6
Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
3 And this we will do if God permits. 4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.
7 For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. 8 But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.
9 Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation.
10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for His Name in serving the saints, as you still do.
11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater by whom to swear, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.”
15 And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.
16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of His Purpose, He guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 1
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world.
He is the radiance of the glory of God
and the exact imprint of His nature,
and
He upholds the universe by the Word of His Power.
See God in every aspect of our lives.

When you 'Really' look at the events of life - and you put your faith as part of your perpetual conversation with God Who Loves You Most - (we do Faith to drive down the highway) - we can find God is in every particle.
So, we are going to do this Faith where we realize Life goes far beyond and do this to a regular song.
"Smoke on the Water" - Fire in the Sky.
Man, you see - Smoke on the Water is The Holy Spirit in Genesis 1. Fire in the sky - definitely - Acts 2. (What I saw, reading today is this tidbit of Acts 2 - the violent Wind of the Holy Spirit - was in the house.) No matter what we get out of this - we know - we will never forget.
Deep Purple - the Majesty of God. His Son - King of Kings.
The sound is Strong. The Chords Majestic. The Urgency to be part of God. The Almighty God of All.
Salvation is happening in Smoke on the Water. Even the kids are being saved. We will never be in the old place again.
We all came out of the town, like traveling to find Jesus in our personal wilderness. On the Shore of Lake of Galilee.
To make mobile. Records of our lives - recorded monuments of touchstone meaning - a truly meaningful life. The Mission of Loving Christ is to be mobile with God's love into the every day. The Message of the Bible tells us time is fleeting. Day is short. Make the Best of God for God for one another.
Now we are Gambling, here, when we take up the Faith.
We assuredly know taking up the Faith of God - is not comfortable. And the song continues - isn't the real gamble - to put the Way, the Truth and the Life on the way back. The back, back non-burner. Wouldn't we really all like to see useless and senseless pain - die. Sadness and sorrow - flee away. Let what is wretched die with an awful sound - acknowledging - the end of what is misery.
(Remembering the beginning of God's Mission is to Pray and Rejoice in One Accord - One Voice. A Joyous Noise Before the Lord.)
Funky Claud was running in and out - yes. Emperor Claudius was indeed running back and forth panicked to find True God of True God. We want the young to have Good, Strong Meaningful Lives and Salvation. The Best Swiss Time of their lives. A New Path to Good Life. Out with the old.
The Old Grand Life - what we saw as the Marble Epics is empty and cold as hell. The Adventure of God - having us roll forth - with Fire. With a real life of Gusto.

The flair gun? We might see this:
If we had to take this to the young level - where true faith is - we would find the "Where's Waldo" of Faith. Even the expectancy of the chords.
No matter what we get out of this - we know - we will never forget.
And The Joy of Faith. Of Hope. And definitely Love.
