"Red sky at night, what a delight. Red sky in the morning, cloudy and storming." (Matthew 16:2-3 ISV) 

As I looked over from my computer screen, I focused on the breath-taking hues of the sunrise revealed over the horizon. And I recalled the captivating shades of crimson and pumpkin in the sunset on my drive home the previous night. 

Jesus called attention to a red sky in Matthew 16:2-3 in response to the religious leaders of His day, who had asked for a sign from heaven to confirm His authority. And He explained, "You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, yet you can’t interpret the signs of the times?" (ibid.)

Often I miss the signs of the times in our world today, too. But today, the sunrise and the sunset reminds me of another promise from Jesus, "I'll be with you ... day after day after day, right up to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:15 MSG).

Are you trying to interpret the signs of the times? Or are you focusing on the promises in God's Word?
