Living Waters

A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. -Song of Sol. 4:15

I enjoy thinking about the beautiful garden of God. Some day if we live according to the Bible, it can be a reality in our lives. This garden must be tremendously beautiful according to the Bible. It is a garden of choice fruit and pleasures. Living waters will be flowing in the light of the evening from the throne of God. The Lord will be the king over all the earth. No more destruction and Jerusalem is safely inhabited. Abundant life and continuous blessings will flow from the river of life that gives eternal life. The trees will bear fruit in abundance and provide healing for the nations.

During the millennium everyone will know perfect health. The gardens will be full of pleasures yielding fruit every month. No more curse and the leaves will not be consumed. Whosever drinks of the water shall never thirst again, but it shall be a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4: 10-15 - Ezekiel 48 It’s going to be wonderful!

Voice of God

 

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.-Gen. 3:8

God came to them in the cool of the day-literally, “the breeze of the day,” the evening. They heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden-The divine Being appeared in the same manner as  usual, uttering the well-known tones of kindness and love. But they were agraid and hid themselves. God knew where they were. They were shamed, for ever shamed, before God and angels.  He knows where we are. We can run, but we cannot hide. The Almighty God wants to commune with us. That is why we were created, to bring glory and pleasure to God.

Leviticus 26:12 ‘I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people.

Deuteronomy 23:14 “Since the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp to deliver you and to defeat your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy; and He must not see anything indecent among you or He will turn away from you.

Loving Neighbors

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13:10
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour.  The same love which restrains from all evil, incites us to all good.

For it is a sin not only to devise evil against thy neighbour, but to withhold good from those to whom it is due; both are forbidden together, Prov. 3:27-29

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Galatians 5:14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”

James 2:8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF,” you are doing well.

Boasting Of Christ

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your’s; Whether 
Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things 
present, or things to come; all are yours; And ye are Christ’s; and 
Christ is God’s. -1 Cor. 3: 21-23

We need not boast of people, because we are all the same in God’s 
sight. We should glory in the Lord only. We can get all we need from 
God’s Word. We belong to Christ, so therefore we boast of Him and His Love.

Now I mean this, that each one of you says, 
“I follow Paul,”
“I follow Apollos,”
“I follow Cephas,”
and, 
“I follow Christ.”
Is Christ divided? 

Was Paul crucified for you? 
Or were you baptized into the name of Paul? 
“He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” 2 Cor. 1: 12, 13, 31

For we don’t preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves 
as your servants for Jesus’ sake; 2 Cor. 4:5

The Inhabitants of God’s Holy Hill

The Lord our God is holy, and appears so, not only in his holy law, but in his holy gospel. One  who is holy and perfect in God’s sight will enter the Holy Hills of God.
The bible shows us how to be Holy and righteous. One must speak the truth and not slander his neighbor. They speak no evil and do no evil. These are the ones who will abide in God’s Holy Hill. There they will ever …exalt the Lord our God and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy. -Psalm 99:9
 

God’s Holy Hill

 
1  LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
         Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
 
2  He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,
         and speaketh the truth in his heart.
 
3  He that backbiteth not with his tongue,
         nor doeth evil to his neighbor,
nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor.
 
4  In whose eyes a vile person is contemned;
         but he honoreth them that fear the LORD.
He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.
 
5  He that putteth not out his money to usury,
         nor taketh reward against the innocent.
He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

God is Supreme

Great is our God! He created the earth and laid the foundations Created In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:1 All Heaven worships Him. Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preserves them all; and the host of heaven worships Him. Nehemiah 9:6 He gives the earthlight: Gen. 1: 14-16 He made the earth. It belongs to Him. He laid the foundation of the earth also. He asked Job Where was he when I laid the foundations of the earth? Job 38; 4 He suspended it in space. He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hung the earth upon nothing. Job 26: 7 He waters the earth and enriched it. Ps. 65: 8 He covers the earth with clouds and prepares the rain to make the grass grow. Ps. 147: 9 

 

  

Our God is Holy! Oh God You is Holy. And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth, which he hath established forever. Ps. 78: 69 before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou has formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. Ps. 90: 2 you supply our food and give us plenty of corn and wine: Gen. 27: 28 

He created the heavens and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; It is He that gives breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: Isaiah 42: 5 God also made us. Isaiah 44:24 says – He that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that makes all things; that stretched forth the heavens alone; that spreads abroad the earth by myself; 

 

Divine and pure is our God. He watches over us. The eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. Zechariah 4: 10 there is none like unto Him. God Governs supremely. Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. -Ps. 135:6 -I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. Ex. 8:22  

The LORD reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. -Ps. 97:1 are still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted in the earth. Ps. 46: 10 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness.
Great and precious promises are given to us: that we might be partakers of the divine nature, and to escape the corruption that is in the world. 11 Peter 1:3-4

  God Is Supreme And He Reigns Forever More!
