Taste of Spring

Taste and see that the Lord is "Good"


"Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!"
Psalms 34:8

Count the many blessings, name them one by one and it will surprise you to see what the Lord has done.  We so often look at the negative in our circumstances and in the world around us.  If we could only pause for a moment and just think of the little blessings, the unspoken, the unseen, the hidden.  I think of blowing up a balloon, where it encapsulates your breath.  Each breath, it becomes bigger, and than all of a sudden it is big enough to float alone in the air.  And each balloon is the same.  To begin with it is deflated and nothing but a piece of colored rubber.  With each breath, with each small prayer of thanksgiving, it rises up as a huge, colorful bouquet of balloons!  A celebration if you will.  A celebration of thanksgiving!  

"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man who trust in Him!"  God tells us in Psalms 85 His righteousness will go before us as footsteps and they will lead the pathway.  Do you have a key to unlock the door that leads to his pathway?  In John 10:9 - Jesus said "I am the door, if anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.  

Can you hear Him today?  "Behold, I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me.  

I wrote this poem several years ago.  It is a poem and prayer of thanksgiving!

Solo Deo Gloria - means to God alone be the glory

Bud, bloom to blossom
Bird to butterfly
Blade of grass to branch of tree
Soli Deo Gloria 

Bench to Piano
Bass to Soprano
Bach to Beethoven
Soli Deo Gloria

Babbling brook,
to beach of sand
Oceans separated by land
Soli Deo Gloria

Topaz to diamond
Onxy to Emerald
From Carbuncle to Gold!
Soli Deo Gloria

Sunset to sunrise 
the beauty reflective of your eyes
To God alone be the glory!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart  Can we let truth speak louder than our feelings?  The longer we speak, read and live truth, our feelings will need to agree!  While reading my devotional today in (Ephesians 3:12) it talks about having courage and confidence in Christ.  The word used in the text was unreserved.   I wanted to look up the definition.  And as I read it, it created this boldness in my heart while I read the words out loud. You may want to try doing this yourself.   It started with unconditional, unqualified (no qualification required) without reservation, unlimited, categorical, unequivocal, unambiguous, absolute, complete, thorough, wholehearted, full, total and undivided.  This is God's love, his love is complete and unlimited.  There is only one way to interpret it, clear and concise.  It goes on to say in ( Ephesians 3:17) by faith we are rooted and grounded in Christ's love!  We often distance ourselves from the very source we need because of feelings

Day 2 - JOY

Image
Day 2 You might think there is a magic formula in obtaining "Joy".  Relationship and resolution to have a closer relationship with the one who provides joy, it is a simple formula, but few take it.  Psalm 33:22 "Let your loving kindness, O Lord, be upon us, according, as we have hope in You."   As we claim every promise that God has given us as our own, it deposits one more gem of joy in our heart.  As we take this journey of joy together, be patient as He shows us victory in every circumstance, no matter how it looks to us on the outside of our heart.  He can give us peace from within. Keep your focus on the beauty of His creative and magnificent hand.  And before long, you will feel Him holding your hand.  "We wait for the Lord.  he is our help and our shield.  In him our hearts find joy.  In his holy name we trust."   Psalm 33:20-21 The heart of gratitude!  1.) Thank you for sharing the Garden 2.)  Another beautiful day
