Like the waves of the sea


"I am the LORD your God
who teaches you to profit,
who leads you in the way you should go.
O that you had hearkened to my commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
 and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;
Your offspring would have been like the sand,
and your descendants like its grains;
their names would never be cut off
or destroyed from before me"
Isaiah 48: 17-19


You know how he has cared for you
again and again here in the wilderness,
just like a father cares for his child!

He has given you all of the present
and all of the future.


All are yours to enjoy
and you belong to God!

Your days of mourning all will end!

Trials and sorrows, sickness and death
even nature suffers, groans and sighs
to be realeased from the pain and the hurt!



When trouble comes is there a place to go?
Who will feed the hungry?
Who will bring healing and comfort
to those sick, lonely and lost?
Teacher, don't you even care that we are all about to drown?




The LORD is good.
When trouble comes He is the place to go!
And He knows everyone who trusts in Him!
He is good to everyone, and his compassion is intertwined with everything he does.

Above all else seek wisdom

The man who knows right from wrong and has good judgment and common sense is happier than the man who is rich! Proverbos 3:13

The Lord says: "Let not the wise man bask  in his wisdom, nor the mighty man in his might, nor the rich man in his riches. Let them boast in this alone: that they truly know me, and understand that I am the Lord of justice and of righteousness whose love is steadfast; and that I love to be this way". Jeremiah 9: 23,24.

The reverence and fear of God are basic to all wisdom.
 Proverbs 9:10

He is the Prince of Peace


He is the Prince of Peace.
His righteousness is only exceeded by his love!
Help him to give justice to your people.
Glory to God and peace on earth to those pleasing him!

The mercy of our God is very tender..
Heaven's dawn is about to break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and death's shadow,
and to guide us to the path of peace.

May you have peace of heart and mind.
Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows,
but cheer up, for He has overcome the world,
 leaving you with a gift: peace of mind and heart!

God's peace...
far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.
His peace will keep your thoughts and hearts
quiet and at rest as you trust in Him.
So do not be troubled or afraid!

Buds of life!



To think that in Spring
every little leaf and bud
remembers that it is
time to sprout
and open up...
Such dear promise
of faithful, fresh, pure life
and they know it is time
because of the light!

Morning splendor


But the good man walks along in the ever-brightening light of God's favor; the dawn gives way to morning splendor. 

Proverbs 4:18


"And this is eternal life, it means to know, (to perceive, to become acquainted with), and to understand you, the only real and true God, and (likewise) to know Him, Jesus Christ, (the anointed One, the Messiah), whom you have sent" John 17: 3.

Oh, that we may know Him who is perfect in all his attributes and who can become our focus, our example and great leader. Let us press on to know Him, and He will respond to us as surely as the coming dawn or the rain in early spring.

We need to become mirrors that reflect the glory of the LORD, to let His Spirit work within us, to become more and more like Him.

 "I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised. For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. You will find me when you seek me, if you look for me in earnest." Jeremiah 29:10-13

Let us turn to the LORD!



God wants to quench our thirst,
to give us food that fattens up the soul,
to make an everlasting covenant with us
to give us unfailing mercies and love!

As soft as the morning sunshine
let His glory warm your being
Seek the LORD,
call upon Him!

Banish from your mind,
the very thought of doing wrong
Let us turn to the LORD,
for He will abundantly pardon!
