"They looked unto Him, and were made to be glad/rejoice, and their faces were not ashamed." [Psa 34:5] Those who look unto God, to The LORD, are made to rejoice. The sight of God will never leave those who gaze upon it in dismay. No, it is not possible, for here we see "they looked …

The Merciful Sight of Our Tender Shepherd
"They also do no iniquity: they walk in His ways." [Psalms 119:3] How can it be said that those who "keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart" do not sin? The Holy Spirit clearly states: "they also do no iniquity: they walk in His ways." We know that everyone sins; we …
Blessed in Our Pursuit
"Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart." [Psalms 119:2] The one who seeks God is blessed. What a precious promise this is; for God does not say whoever finds Him is blessed, nor whoever understands Him is blessed. But The Lord says whoever seeks Him with all …
Walking in The Way
"Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of The LORD." [Psalms 119:1] Blessed are those who are in the path of God's word, who follow that way. What a wonderful statement this is! Yes, we may slip from time to time or lose the path, but what path are we …
Intimate In Distress
Sometimes it can appear as if Jesus is far away. Perhaps He has forgotten of us, perhaps He doesn't care, perhaps He's too busy. Sometimes it can appear as if Jesus is a God far off, and not near. But in fact, Jesus is just the opposite: God is just the opposite, for it is …

Beautiful and Unmovable
New Jerusalem is the heavenly city that will descend from God out of heaven at the beginning of the millennial period; the city is large and exceedingly beautiful. It is what The Bible calls "The City of God." Jesus tells us this Himself, saying, "Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple …
Flourishing As The Palmtree
Cleaning up a tree-lawn for an elderly man for outreach purposes. While cleaning up the tree-lawn, there was a particular tree that was bent over. Much like a palm tree bends in the storm, except it never stood back upright so it had to be tied up. It reminded me of what the Bible says …
His Work of Beauty
Clearing vines and plants that had taken over a fence for an elderly Christian woman. While clearing the plants from out of the fence, we found it was also holding roses. The roses remind me of a few things. One of those is the affliction in our lives that is a result of sin. The …
The Careful Love of Our Father
Weeding and trimming bushes for an elderly couple. As I was trimming bushes, I had to be precise/careful, as to not cut off any flowers. Because of this, I did not use hedge trimmers and was able to find a small bird in the bush. The bird was kept safe by God, for in The …
