The Lord's Loving-Kindness...Forever Flowing

Psalm 42:7-8  Deep calls to deep through the voice of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and Your billows have passed over me.  Jehovah will command His loving-kindness by day, and His song shall be with me in the night, a prayer to the God of my life.


Even in adversity, we as believers, are drenched in Christ's grace and loving-kindness. It is our responsibility to recognize this and not take it for granted.  This is something that may be difficult for us to do since we all tend to be self-absorbed and scared during trials.  The Lord uses these times to strengthen us and teach us to trust in Him to carry us through the difficult times of our lives.  The more that we trust in Him, the more peace we receive for Him.  Christ blesses us in the midst of adversity.  Through prayer and thanksgiving (yes, being thankful for what we learn during these times) we can be drawn nearer to God and freely accept His Will for our lives.

If you are not a believer, you can have all of these things, too...including peace and God's grace and mercy.  All that you need to do is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior....to realize that you can be saved by trusting in the work that He did on the cross for us...to realize that you can do nothing without Him...and to realize that you should trust in Him for His Will in your life.  By doing these things, you can count on living eternally with Him in Heaven.  Why not turn over your life to Christ...you'll never regret it.

Angels Are Among Us

Luke 1:26-35 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, (27) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. (28) And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. (29) And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. (30) And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. (31) And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. (32) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: (33) And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. (34) Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? (35) And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.


The photo above is one of my favorites of my fine art photography.  When I see a likeness, such as a statue, of an angel, I think of peace and the sense of being protected.  There are angels among us who guide us and help us.  There have been many good and bad angels through history, as you can read about in the Bible, but one angel, who had one of the most important jobs to do was Gabriel, and the message that he had to deliver to Mary the mother of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer.  The above verses tell the story.  A very important message, told by an angel, about the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord.  Praise our great God for this important message and the very important birth that will save us from eternal death in Hell, if we only believe in Jesus and accept Him as our Savior.  

Love and the Lilies

Song of Solomon 2:16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

I think one of the books of the Bible that may not be so understood is Song of Solomon. 

The meaning of "Song", is a love letter between King Solomon and his "Beloved" wife.  Although, he had many wives; in that time it was allowed for a man to have many wives; the "Shulamite" was the love of his life.  But there's another meaning to this book.....it is a letter that shows the love that the Lord has for His people and the love that His people has for Him.
The photo above shows a white lily that grows in my garden.  When I look at this lily, it reminds me of this verse.
