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.

The Prophet From Galilee

And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. Matthew 21:11

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. Mat 2:23

And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. Luk 7:18

Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. John 6:14

Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.  John 7:40

They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. -John 9:17

Prayer Before Congress

This is a prayer prayed many years ago.

Our fathers’ God and ours, on the birthday of national independence we confess our dependence upon Thee. Without Thee we are lost in spite of the overwhelming might of our national arms.

We thank Thee for those pilgrims of faith who came hither in their frail barque across mountainous seas and who stepped upon strange shores with the salutation to a new world, “In the Name of God. Amen.” The Nation here established, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal has acknowledged that Name above every name and reverenced it, has built its altars, reared its temples, and raised its steeples, emblems of a faith that points to the skies and wings its sure and certain way to God. Make that faith of the fathers, we pray, real to us in these tempestuous days. Save us from a freedom of speech so empty that we have nothing worth saying, from a freedom of worship so futile that we have no God to adore, from freedom from want and fear with no creative idea as to how to use our plenty or our security for the redemption of our social order and for the salvation of our own souls. Let all that is low and unworthy in us sink to the depths. Let all that is high and fine in us rise to greet the morn of a new day confident that the best is yet to be. Amen.

Psalms 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

New In Christ

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

“Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past.
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.

Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. He then put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.

Isaiah 43:18 – 65:17 John 3:3 Romans 6:4 Eph. 4:24 Rev. 21:4

God Is Blameless

 ”As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the LORD is tested; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. -2 Samuel 22:31

 As for God, His way is blameless

His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.

 My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge; My savior, You save me from violence. Behold our shield, O God, And look upon the face of Your anointed.
Your word is very pure, Therefore Your servant loves it.

He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Deut.32:4 2 Sam.22:3 Psalm 18:30, 84:9 119:140 Prov. 30:5  Matt. 5:48

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!
