In His Hands...the Fullness of Time

A Time for Quiet...for those who love

A Time for Quiet...It's a gentle breeze...one of nature's good things.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 (King James Version)

21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good

A Time for Quiet...Peace

A Time for Quiet...

This is what Isaiah, the prophet, meant when he wrote:

And the work of righteousness will be peace,

And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation,

And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places (32:17-18).

You know...Peace is not merely the absence of war or external conflict.  It's a spirit of rest
profoundly dealt to the believer according to Jesus' righteousness.  We are made right before God
based on His one act of sacrifice on the Cross. Thus our "Justification" keeps us in "perfect peace' when we rest upon the marvelous work of our Savior...Emanuel...God is with us as the Prince of Peace.

Find Yourself and God...in the Early Morn!

"Early Morning Sunrise"

Enticed by the crisp air

and early morning dew,

I experienced what is available to all

but witnessed by just a few.

An early morning sunrise

opening the door to God's new day.

Adding light to what was darkness

with it's ever so constant ray.

Bearing down on the lives of all

but of interest to only some.

Never ending and never asking

when to leave or when to come.

Set by nature's saintly standard…

partly predictable but never sure.

Except as God deems necessary…

for all the world to endure.

I marvel at it's sheer radiance

and revel over the fiery glow.

And long to be so consistent in my life

that God so graciously bestowed.

Faith as bright as the brilliant beam

and as sure as the rise and set.

Faith that endures and grows to stand

all man's worldly tests.

Be restrained and satisfied in moderation

and ever cautious not to regress.

As man's sometimes selfish standard

Breeds bitter loneliness and distress.

Find solace and consolation

In God's gifts gracefully adorned.

Rise early and be with yourself and God

In the early morn.
