"All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades, When the breath of the Lord blows on it; Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever."
Isaiah 40:6-8 (NASB)
Forgive me for not writing sooner. I've been working outside, :) painting pictures, singing and dancing more! Dr. Dhere has adjusted my medicines and I'm feeling much better. I'm even sweating like a snow cone on the 4Th of July while I'm outside, which is great for me! You can't imagine how high your temperature can climb when you don't sweat.
I'm always amazed, and so thankful for my friends and family who pray, for the doctors and people who help me, but most of all for the closeness I feel to God by traveling all the roads that I have been down in my life time. I can truly say that through it all, God's constant presence is Always there.
"Like a shepherd He will tend is flock. In His arm He will gather the lambs And carry them in His bosom. He will gently lead the nursing ewes."
Isaiah 40:11(NASB)
All of us like sheep tend to go astray from time to time. But aren't you glad our heavenly shepherd gently guides us back? I love the closeness when I'm snuggled in His bosom! I could stay there forever. But then He puts us back on our feet and says, "go on now- just stay close enough to hear my voice, always trust and obey." After a gentle hug from above, we're off and running again. :) Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to know thus saith the Lord!
"Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand; And marked off the heavens by the span, And calculated the dust of the earth by the measure, And weighed the mountains in a balance, And the hills in a pair of scales?"
Isaiah 40:12 (NASB)
"To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him?"
Isaiah 40:18 (NASB)
"It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. He who reduces rulers to nothing. Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless. Scarcely have they been planted. Scarcely have they been sown. Scarcely their stock take root in the earth, But he merely blows on them, and they wither, And the storm carries them away like stubble."
Isaiah 40:24 (NASB)
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting God , The Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary. And to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired And vigorous young men stumble badly,
Yet those who wait upon the Lord Will gain new strength, They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary." Isaiah 40:28-31 (NASB)
Whatever this life may bring you to, God promises to see you through if you'll only wait on His providence. Trust and obey for there's No other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Would you ask God to help me finish a painting I'm working on concerning Revelation chapter 19? I'm thoroughly enjoying painting again, but I really want to do a great job on this one for many reasons. I want to help people see the fullness of God-He isn't just meek and mild He is also swift, just, righteous! Our God speaks and life and death come to pass.
