Posting this for you because I Love YOU - Fear ...

An online study will quickly reveal that if you count words conveying, Fear not, Don't be afraid, Be of good courage, and the like are found 365 times in the Book of Books, the Bible. Fear comes to us in unfathomable ways if we can recognize it. The lyrics of this song reveal some we may not realize. God loves us a lot. He has been telling us down thru the ages to not be afraid, but rather trust in him. Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. --Life will be better if we recognize the many faces of fear, and trust God instead of walking in fear. This is an ongoing lesson for me.

REMNANTS OF EDEN


Who hasn't  been soothed by the rain in a quiet moment? And who hasn't walked through the woods and absorbed the sounds the creatures make? Or noted the different birds who surely carol their story down through the ages from one generation to the next?

Who hasn't marveled at the sound of waterfalls, and rivers? It may be possible that there is someone who has not witnessed the constant surge of the ocean, the swooping seagull's  haunting screech awakening a lone shoreline.  How is it we identify?

Is there anyone who has not viewed the uncanny diversity of what the photographer's eye has witnessed? From the patterns of outer garments, the colors, and the textures in the many species of animal populations of the land, sea and sky? Not to mention, the multitued of shapes and sizes...Not to mention, the same overwhelming diversity in the whole botanical world as well, in the leaves, and flowers, the trees, the barks...Not to mention dragonflies, butterfly wings, and fireflies! I could go on and on from one mystifying anomaly to another from the depths of the ocean to the majesty of the heavens and heavenly bodies.

If you lend yourself it is mind boggling. Maybe you're too busy to be boggled.

Some say there is no purposeful, intelligent creative force and mind within all this.

How unfathomable this kind of creative mind is. Created free and gifted to us. It doesn't cost a cent. Oh we can landscape, garden, and capture, but that creative force is joyfully free in its' own self supporting cosmos. Created in a, self sustaining pattern from the beginning. There is no doubt  that the beauty and wonder that remains is only a glimpse of, as I penned before, a truly unfathomable creation. What we enjoy now is only a Remnant of Eden.

Every aspect of the natural world is taken care of.  The lilies of the field, the feathered zealots of freedom singing a matchless song down through the ages, remembering instinctively a time before the fall. Nary a one that plummets to the earth is overlooked by that creative mind.

All that and this poses a question, My Heavenly Father, Creator of mankind, and Maker of heaven and earth cares much more for you than these as it is written.  SO, believer, Where is your faith?

I Choose...


I wake up. My body stirs. I rise.  My feet touch the floor. I feel the cold.
I make the short way to the kitchen and start a coffee for myself. I am alone.

There is quiet. No one to see to, they are all living adulthood.
My nest this morning is pleasant with much potential and things to do.
As I stand in the darkened front room my thoughts wander. You are there.

In my workroom I open the blinds and morning has barely made itself known,
I hear that birdsong trilling from the tall trees just outside my window and I see 
The lovely uneven treeline reaching to the sky. They have stood all night. You are there.

Your spirit of goodness is always there, that spirit of care.  I often don't realize.
My mind competes with your presence with thoughts of must haves and must dos.
Plans that impinge on the truth I dwell in. I close them all down, every care and draw on you,

You are here.



This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24
Lord, your love fills the earth. Psalm 119:64

7 Verses Packed With Food For The Christian Soul

These 7 Verses are packed with so much food for the christian soul that I say, Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I and to repentance where I fall short, and the empowering of the Holy Spirit to do the will of God in my very own one life!
 
Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is RIGHT in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
