To All Peoples, Nations, and Languages

Daniel 6:25-27

Then King Darius wrote:

To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:

Peace be multiplied to you.

I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel.

For He is the living God,
And steadfast forever;
His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed,
And His dominion shall endure to the end.
He delivers and rescues,
And He works signs and wonders
In heaven and on earth,
Who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions

What’s Your Definition of Love?

…2 Young men jokingly confronted me on a sidewalk one night

  • God keeps no record of wrongs
  • God doesn’t rejoice in iniquity
  • But rejoices in the truth
  • God is patient
  • God is kind (1 Corinthians 13)

A friend sold his house and beloved orchard to buy a new home in a new state to begin his and his second wife’s new life.

Heard upon waking in my spirit last month: “To Make You Feel My Love” sung by Garth Brooks

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”                      1 John 4:18

 

Early Spring

in the season of the spring rain,

When You Run

“When you walk, your steps will not be hindered,
And when you run, you will not stumble.“

Proverbs 4:12

“Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel: ‘My way is hidden from the Lord, and my just claim is passed over by my God’? 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.”

Isaiah 40:27-31

The Two Doors Were of Olive Wood

; and he carved on them figures of cherubim, palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread gold on the cherubim and on the palm trees.”

1 Kings 6:32

Good Lord, Solomon tried to replicate Your dwelling place with beautiful carvings overlaid with gold, but it can’t match Your true glory. Your word says everything on earth is a copy of what’s in heaven. We lovingly wait to see You, dear God.

 

A True Christian

“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself from the world.”  

James 1:27

I heard this description: If a child is found by a real Christian, the child will be fed and cared for, and handed back to his parents.

Dear Lord Jesus, help us to follow You, obey You, to hear Your voice, to have a close family relationship with You.  We will shine brighter and brighter, the worldly things will grow dim.

“You are the light of the world” Jesus in Matt 5:14
