Ebenezers

As we travel through this life of up and downs, of curves and twists,use each period of time wisely. Each momentous period should be marked with an Ebenezer to remember the good and bad and to learn something from both. Hopefully wisdom and knowledge will increase as we pass these on to others that they might make use of them. Through all of these times one thing must remain constant,and that is to show our love and devotion to Jesus our Lord and to mentor others on how to be still and hear the voice of God so we may stay true to the path He has put before us. May we learn to treasure each person we meet, for they are all special.

Trees

As I sat in the forest under the shelter of these great trees and the protection of their long strong arms, it seemed as though they were an anchor to the soil and assurance to the plants, insects, and all animals that they will continue to provide protection,shelter,, and food to all living things.
Is it any wonder that the Son of God is called the tree of life and we are His branches? Christ gives life and strength to us (His branches) to give shelter,help,peace or assurance and feed the people of the world. Is it any wonder that trees cover the Earth in great abundance? As I sat thinking these thoughts, once again I’m in awe of God’s awesome wisdom to create every detail of every living thing. God rested on the seventh day and said, “This is good.”

Listen

The voice “God”  spoke and creation listened The voice so quietly speaking, no one listening, no one to impress, all silence until He spoke to the Holy Spirit. Silence was broken, the darkness was shattered. His voice quietly saying to the void and utter darkness, “Let there be light.” His voice piercing through with such power and authority that darkness had to yield. His voice separated darkness and the first day broke forth, light and darkness sharing the day and night. History has recorded and herald the beginning of creation. That voice is still speaking to His creation. He that has an ear to listen and he that believes, shall receive.

Simply Simple

Through out my life I’ve never considered myself to be a rich man nor a wise man. Even tho being simply simple Jesus still drew me to Himself. He took me from my world into His world and has been taking me on a great journey. Over the years He has allowed most of His gifts to work through my life to touch others. I make no boast of self,only to give Christ the glory. His great Spirit has been my friend,counselor, and teacher. I know some in churchdom have been at odds about the Holy Spirit and His gifts, I believe this grieves Him. All that He has been teaching me has come down to this one fact. The one and only thing that will remain as the greatest gift He has given, is the gift of love. Yes, I fell in love with Jesus, and His great love will carry me and you if we will believe.Never lose being simply simple. Take love in both hands and heart to always cherish it. The greatest of these is love.

A Rare View

Have you ever driven to a mountain top in anticipation of seeing a panorama of beauty spread out before down below. Do you know you can get a more perfect view around home or in church. The best view you will ever get is the one you experience on your knees. Yes, it takes striving and hard work to get there but the more you climb on your knees the higher and more beautiful the heights become as you stay quietly on your knees. The view is worth when we reach the peaks and realize all we seek is God’s point of view. What He reveals is worth waiting for. Start climbing today for His treasures are worth seeking. SOME TIMES IT DOES TAKE A MOUNTAIN, to get the God Bless right perspective. God bless

Stand Up Straight

Have you been told to stand up straight. Sure you have, probably many times. It could have been a parent, spouse, friend, yes even a school teacher. some of us have lost a loved one, or perhaps been in a devastating situation that has put us through a testing of the body and mind. My friend, it’s not a matter of being tall or small, strong or weak, winning or losing. How your spirit stands is what God is seeing. So my friend, let your faith arise and your enemies be scatter. Just stand and watch your enemies flee as God stands beside you. If God be for you , who can be against you. AMEN!
