In His Book

 In His Book

 

Just to think that even before His mouth spoke out the names of countless stars.

Before His Word empowered the explosion of existence, and fashioned reality in her precious garb.

He already had the chapters of my being planned.

He already believed in who I would be.

Had already exacted the date of my birth and whispered my name in His eternal soliloquy.


Just to consider that even before the first rays of the sun did touch the surface of the Earth;

and the canyons of rock were chiseled out as part of the Master’s handiwork...

Before a blade of grass ever did spring up from the soil of the land, God decreed my life out of His Love for me.

And then wrote my name down in His Book of Life, saying: Daughter, Daughter this is what My Heart desires for thee.

 

Just to ponder that the God who kissed the skies with a rainbow as a promise; 

and stood in unity with the Lamb for His Covenant Blood and all those who would believe in His Name, 

gave opportunity for me to be reborn and then awaited in His Faith, for that day when my spirit would hear His knocking. 

and my heart would at last turn the knob of the door, and ask Him to come in.

To Labour

 To Labour We just got through Labor Day here in the United States which celebrates the workforce. A federal holiday so, it's a day off from work, yay! Who doesn't like having a day off from work? We sure appreciate that. However, my concern is about laboring in prayer. What does it mean to "labor in prayer?" Or, to labor in anything for that matter? There are several different words in the Scriptures which tell us about what it is to labor: from bearing children, bringing forth, bearing, birthing, being born, to toiling at work, producing, acquiring property (through work), even in respect to riches and wealth. Yet, to labor also is related to grief, or being grieved. To labor or faint, to grow weary, to be exhausted, to tire, to have pain, to suffer. Another word used is "travail." That gives another perspective on it, doesn't it? Sounds like a harder, deeper thing, to travail over something.  The Apostle Paul said this to the Church at Galatia: Gal 4:...

Comforter

 A day to be comforted.  Blessed be the Name of the LORD and His Christ Who is the Comforter; through the One Who sees all oppression and determines to bring us Consolation. Whether to just one person, or a family, or a neighborhood, a city, even to a whole nation of people. It is You O LORD our God Who brings comfort, Who gives comfort, Who offers it freely.  Thanks be to the LORD our God Who is Love and Who is moved in His Own Living Heart to be moved with pity, with grief for a soul, for a house, for those in need. You take a strong forcible breath, hallelujah and it is not just to grieve with us or for us, but also as the One Who brings the help, Who brings Life, Who even takes vengeance on our behalf, hallelujah!  You've taken a part of Your Living Soul O Yeshua and You call Yourself the Comforter, and Your promise is You abide with us forever. You are the Comforter Who not only sighs with us when we are sad, lonely, broken hearted, low in spirit, fractured of m...

Peace and Pain

Today marks an historic time of events for Israel, for the Middle East, for America and all the nations affected and beholding what is taking place. Those yet living, who were held captive against their will following a brutal and horrific warfare assault of death, mayhem and hatred are finally released back to the crying arms of family, friends and their nation. All of this due to intense negotiations with an enemy longing to see a people permanently destroyed, and it took two very long years to accomplish just these first steps. The plans of men come with many compromises for all involved. Will it be an "everlasting" peace as so many governmental leaders hope it will be? Only time will tell what is to transpire in the coming days, months, years ahead. The "covenants" of men are typically broken, and the Bible warns us all of "peace treaties" that will surely be broken, leading to greater events upon the world.  Nevertheless, for the victims of all involv...
