God's Promises

“And now, O Lord GOD, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant... Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses." (2 Samuel 7:28: 1 Kings 8:56 NKJV) God keeps all of His promises. Everything God says He will do, He does...whether it be good or bad. So on the one paw we ought to fear God and obey His commandments. On the the other paw, we can have the assurance that whatever we ask in His name, and whatever we need God will provide. We also have the reassurance that God will protect us and God is steadfast and faithful to the end. God is our rock, our safe hold, and helper through all of our days! Fear God! PRAISE God!

A Clouded Mirror

"For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known." (1 Corinthians 13:12) I believe that God doesn't want us to have all the answers, even about Him. If we did, WE would be God. Instead, He wants us to turn to Him with all our questions, inquiries, and for direction. Gid wants us to lean on Him for direction and find the answers through Him. He even supplied us with an instruction manual called The Holy Bible. God doesn't want us to be able to see everything now. He wants us to take that leap of faith, when we move forward, trusting in Him. Sometimes, He wants us to gradually see the big picture so that as the big picture unfolds we can see His workmanship in it.
Some day we will have all the answers and be able to see things more clearly, but for now God wants us to lean on Him, have faith and read The Holy Bible. Love, Beau

For the Beauty of the Earth

"And one cried to another and said: 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!'” (Isaiah 6:3 NKJV) Everywhere you turn there are glorious and wonderful things handcrafted by God...trees, sky, clouds, flowers, birds, grass, bodies of water, cats, dogs, other humans...just to name a few. The earth, and the entire universe is full of His glory! All are amazing miracles of God! If you have ever taken to stop to meditate on the wonders of nature, ANY life, or just the universe in general, you might have thought how amazing everything is. I know I have! It feels my heart with wonder, praise, and thankfulness for everything around me. The earth is full of the beauty of God, His glory, and the miracles He created! So, the next time you stop to admire a flower, blooming tree, or just star gaze, also take a minute to thank God for them (and for ALL He created)! Love, Beau

Choose

"...choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, ... But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15 NKJV) God wants your undivided attention. When you try to serve more than one master your loyalties are divided. You know how it is when you're pulled in several directions at once! You cannot give one or the other your undivided attention, therefore properly serving any of them. You have to choose. There's no other way. If you pay more attention to money, your job, popularity, or anything else over God, THAT is your master. Even though God doesn't make you and gives you a choice, God wants you to choose HIM, and follow HIM. All He ask in return is that you have faith, trust and believe in Him, and let Him lead the way. What He will give you in return is eternal life, glory, honor, and a share in His kingdon. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me! (But, it's YOUR choice.) "...choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...." Choose God, choose eternal life! Love, Beau
