This is what the sky looked like from my front porch
very early last Thursday morning...
Is the old adage:
“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight.
Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” true,
or is it just an old wives’ tale?
This was the view from the side of my porch...
Again....
"red sky in morn....
Sailor be warned"....
If true.....
Then something is brewing in the sky....
Actually it is more than an old wives tale..
It is actually quoted by Jesus in scripture....
Matthew 16:2-3
"When evening comes,
you say,
it will be fair weather,
for the sky is red,
and in the morning,
Today it will be stormy,
for the sky is red and overcast".....NIV
Sure enough Friday we had an ice storm that
shut our area down.....
Of course in this scripture the Pharisees and Sadducee's
were demanding a sign from heaven.
Even though they believed
only God could do a sign in the sky...
They would not believe Jesus
was the Messiah.....
How about you.....
Do you believe?
I do!!
Blessings!
Patty
Yes I do...my mom would always repeat that.

ReplyDeleteI am a HUGE fan of clouds! I could lay and look at clouds all day! And your pictures are beautiful!
I've always loved the different colors of the sky in the morning and evening! You took some beautiful pictures there. I, too, am a huge fan of clouds as I remember when we were kids seeing all kinds of animals and things in the shapes of the clouds.
ReplyDeleteLove your Sunday Scriptures ---- you should do them daily. I always rush right over to see what the Lord has given you.
Ahhh...beautiful indeed!! :)

I certainly do believe, Patty! Interesting that so many of our sayings are found in scripture, I believe it was Job who first spoke of escaping by the skin of his teeth, for instance.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, my friend.
Hugs, cindy
Hi Patty, I wish everyone could discern the signs of the times as Jesus spoke of. The weather they discern, but, the times we live in; not so many can see. Another great post. Blessings, Trisha
ReplyDeleteyes, this saying is true. We have the same saying in Germany. It seems to always come about.
ReplyDeleteDid not know that this was even mentioned in the scripture.
Thank you for wishing us well with Lulu.
