A Miracle


I would like to introduce you to my newest granddaughter , Eliana Elizabeth . Eliana was born on March 1, at only 24 weeks gestation & weighing 1lb.8oz. , She is a micro preemie miracle baby . For now she is living at Duke University Hospital Intensive Care Nursery . She is doing very well but she has to stay in the hospital for at least 3 months and she will be fighting for survival every day . Please PRAY for her , my daughter and her family and the Doctors and Nurses that are caring for her . I will keep you posted about her progress .

As I watched her for the first time as she lay in the incubator , I felt such wonder and awe at how beautiful ,perfect,wonderful and tiny she is . As Psalm 139 came to my mind I praised God for the miracle of her birth .

" For you created my inmost being ; You knit me together in my mother's womb.I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made , Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was formed in the secret place , when I was woven in the depths of the earth.Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be ."

SPIRITUAL SUNDAY

"The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!"
Mark 1:15


Christmas Prayer By John Leax

Let the snow fall this night
and cover our sins
against the world

Let the scars of our restless flight
from nothing to nowhere
be iced and closed

Let the wires of our false security
be weighted to breaking
and the lamps of our burning earth
be darkened

Let nothing remain
in the emptiness of our hearts
but the dark of need

In that dark
let one star shine

And grant us grace to spring
in the quickening light
it angles at creation

*********************************************

I love this poem. Until God (through his Holy Spirit )reveals to us our desperate situation , we will never need Jesus .
If we never know our need for Him , we will never want Him.
If we never want Him, we will never ask Him to come into our hearts .If we never ask Him, without Jesus we will remain forever lost .

Praise and Thanks to Jesus (Mighty God and Creator of the Universe ) for coming to Earth in the form of a human child to save us all!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah !

SPIRITUAL SUNDAY


"In Him was life;and his life was the light of men . And
the light shines in darkness."John 1:4-5

Keeping Christmas by Henry Van Dyke

"It is a good thing to observe Christmas Day .The mere making of times and seasons , when men agree to stop work and make merry together , is a wise and wholesome custom.
It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual life.
It reminds a man to set his own little watch ,now and then , by the great clock of humanity which runs on sun time .
But there is a better thing than the observance of Christmas Day , and that is keeping Christmas .
Are you willing to forget what you have done for other people and remember what other people have done done for you ; to ignore what the world owes you , and to think what you owe the world;to put your rights in the background ,and your duties in the middle distance , and a chance to do a little more than your duty in the foreground ;to see that your fellowmen are just as real as you are , and to look behind their faces to their hearts hungry for joy; to own that probably the only good reason for your existence is not what you are going to get out of life , but what you are going to give to life ; to close your book of complaints against the management of the universe , and look around for a place you can sow a few seeds of happiness --
are you willing to do these things even for a day ?
Then you can keep Christmas .
Are you willing to stoop down and consider the needs and desires of little children ; to remember the the weakness and loneliness of people who are growing old , to stop asking how much your friends love you , and ask yourself whether you love them enough ;
to bear in mind the things other people have to bear in their hearts ;to try to understand what those people living in the same house as you really want without waiting for them to tell you ; to trim your light so that it will give more light and less smoke , and to carry it in front so that your shadow will fall behind you ; to make a grave for your ugly thoughts and a garden for your kindly feelings,with the gate open ---
Are you willing to do these things even for a day? Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that love in the strongest thing in the world --
stronger than hate ,stronger than evil, stronger than death--
and that the blessed life which began in Bethlehem nineteen hundred years ago is the image and brightness of the Eternal Love ?
Then you can keep Christmas ,
And if you can keep it for a day , why not always ?
But you can never keep it alone.


***********************************************************



If only we could keep Christmas all year . But without Jesus in our hearts we are unable to sustain real goodness in our lives . "I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living,no longer I ,but Christ is living in me ;and that life which I am now
living in the flesh, I am living by faith , the faith of the
son of God , who in Love gave himself for me . "
Galatians 2:20

Praise to Jesus !

Wastelands

There are dry, fruitless, lonely places in each of our lives, where we seem to travel alone, sometimes feeling as though we must surely have lost the way. What am I doing here? How did this happen? Lord, get me out of this!

He does not get us out. Not when we ask for it, at any rate, because it was He all along who brought us to this place. He has been here before--it is no wilderness to Him, and He walks with us. There are things to be seen and learned in these apparent wastelands which cannot be seen and learned in the "city"--in places of comfort, convenience, and company.

God does not intend to make it no wasteland. He intends rather to keep us--to hold us with his strength, to sustain us with his sure words--in a place where there is nothing else we can count on.

"God did not guide them by the road towards the Philistines, although that was the shortest...God made them go round by way of the wilderness towards the Red Sea" (Ex 13:17,18 NEB).

Imagine what Israel and all of us who worship Israel's God would have missed if they had gone by the short route--the thrilling story of the deliverance from Egypt's chariots when the sea was rolled back. Let's not ask for shortcuts. Let's keep alert for the wonders our Guide will show us in the wilderness.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood , striving against sin . Hebrews 12:4

What is the meaning of Christian suffering ?Unless we are called to martyrdom, our resisting and striving against sin has not reached the point of bloodshed. Nevertheless, we deplore our lot. Do we expect to have a prosperous road in this life ---to wear a white linen garment and walk leisurely on a golden street leading to a pearly gate?
God has arranged all kinds of environment , all sorts of happenings and many sufferings,all with a view to creating in each of his children a certain character which will glorify Him. To be scourged may be the evidence of His approval. Chastisement is love's arrangement . Love measures and love plans . God may not deal thus with everyone , but He certainly does so with those whom He has accepted as sons (& daughters ). Watchman Nee

I love this song.

His Joy, Our Joy

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:2

" I am like the butterfly just preparing to slip out of its old cocoon ,panting for the life outside ,but with no experience to tell what kind of life that outside life will be . But I believe with all my heart that the apostle told the truth when He declared that "eye hath not seen , nor ear heard ,neither hath it entered into man's heart the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." (1Corinthians2:9)And what better prospect could the soul have !
Then will be fulfilled the prayer of our Lord ," Father,I will that they also, whom thou hast given me ,be with me where I am ; that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me ." (John17:24)
That glory is not the glory of dazzling light but it is the glory of unselfish love .I have had a few faint glimpses of this glory now and here,and it has been enough to ravish my heart . But there I shall see him as He is , in all the glory of an infinite unselfishness which no heart of man has ever been able to conceive ; and I await the moment with Joy ." ---------- Hannah Whitall Smith

SPIRITUAL SUNDAY

Happy 4th 0f July !






Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day [the Fourth of July]?" “Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity"?
John Quincy Adams--1837, at the age of 69, when he delivered a Fourth of July speech at Newburyport, Massachusetts.

''There was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to buffet me ''.2 Corinthians 12:7


"The amazing fact apparent in the Bible is that it is relatively easy for a" heathen " to be healed , but that healing for a Christian is not that easy . The New Testament overwhelmingly shows us that whenever an unbeliever came to Jesus for healing, he was cured immediately .Now the gift of healing is surely for the Christian no less than for the unbeliever; yet the Bible tells of believers
who were not healed .Among these are some of the most Godly --Trophimus. Timothy,and Paul. Each of these three excellent brothers in Christ had to endure sickness.It is clear that sickness is different from sin in its outworking. Sin does not produce any fruit of holiness,whereas sickness does . Do not look upon sickness or pain as something terrible . In whose hand is the knife ? Remember it is in God's hand . Why should we be anxious over infirmity as if it were in the hand of the enemy ? Without God's permission Satan can make no one sick . All infirmities are measured to us by God for the sake of the enrichment they can bring ."
Watchman Nee




Happy Father's Day to all Dads !:)

..........The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. Romans 8:26


Our understandings are weak, particularly in the things of God our desires are weak; our prayers are weak. We know not - Many times. What we should pray for - Much less are we able to pray for it as we ought: but the Spirit maketh intercession for us - In our hearts, even as Christ does in heaven. With groanings - The matter of which is from ourselves, but the Spirit forms them; and they are frequently inexpressible, even by the faithful themselves.------John Wesley

Today I would like to share this beautiful poem .


Most Fine Gold

By Amy Carmichael

I thought I heard my Savior say to me :
"My love will never weary, child, of thee."
Then in me whispering doubtfully and low :
How can that be?
He answered me,
"But if it were not so,
I would have told thee."

O most fine Gold
That naught in me can dim,
Eternal Love, that has her home in Him
Whom seeing not, I love,
I worship Thee!

I thought I heard my Saviour say to me:
" My strength encamps on weakness-----So on thee."
And when a wind of fear did through me blow___
How can that be?
He answered me ,
" But if it were not so,
I would have told thee."

O most fine Gold
That naught in me can dim,
Eternal love that has her home in Him
Whom seeing not, I love ,
I worship Thee!


I love this Song by Avalon because He is everything to me .

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
James 1:12




Life is But a Weaving


My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me.
I cannot choose the colors
He weaveth steadily.
Oft’ times He weaveth sorrow;
And I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper
And I the underside.
Not ‘til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas
And reveal the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the weaver’s skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned
He knows, He loves, He cares;
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives the very best to those
Who leave the choice to Him.

Grant Colfax Tuller

The Love of Christ


“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”Romans 8:38,39

The supreme reason that you can and should trust God through suffering is found at Calvary , for no better argument can be voiced apart from the Cross.That He would endure the full fury of Hell so that you could escape it should tell you something as you face your own hellish circumstances. The greatest love scene in the world happened when Christ hung and bled on the cross.It was God saying ,"Look see, this is how much I love you !" What's amazing is that He played out this scene while we snubbed Him in cool ,callous indifference . Who would want to escape that kind of love , or ignore or deny it?And what Christian would ever dare doubt it ?Christ died for you . What Love !
--------Joni Eareckson Tada

I love this song by JJ Heller and find it very comforting .

Happy Resurrection Day ! Praise Jesus ! Jesus died and was raised so that we may live forever !

He(Jesus )is not here;he (Jesus) has risen! Luke 24:6

“A metropolitan (bishop) of the Orthodox Church in Russia was
faced with an atheist in the congregation who loudly declared,
‘Today nobody believes in the resurrection of Christ.’

“Instead of answering the claim, the metropolitan cried out,
‘Christ is risen!’ and the hall, which was supposedly filled with
atheists, responded with a roar, ‘Indeed* He is risen!’”

Gethsemane

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane , and saith unto his disciples , Sit ye here , while I go pray yonder.And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee ,and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful even unto death:tarry ye here , and watch with me . And he went a little farther , and fell on his face ,and prayed ,saying, O my Father , if it be possible let this cup pass from me , nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. Matt. 26 :36 -39

We need to pay attention to the prayer that our Lord is praying here. "This cup" evidently represents His cross, and the contents are the sins of the whole world . More than the death itself and the terrible suffering of crucifixion is something else that we do not see to realize . It is this :Jesus,holy harmless, and separate from sinners,was made sin for us . There on the cross the sin of humanity was put on Him ---not in some forensic or academic manner, but in reality. We cannot even imagine the horror He felt when that sin was placed upon Him . It was a horrendous experience for this One who was holy .Notice that He was not asking to escape the cross, but He was praying that God's will be done . It is impossible for you and me to enter into the full significance of Gethsemane , but I think it was there that he won the victory of Calvary. Undoubtedly , he was tempted by Satan in Gethsemane as truly as he was in the wilderness. Notice verse 42 : "He went away again the second time , and prayed , saying , O Father , if this cup may not pass away from me , except I drink it , thy will be done . " He was accepting it . To say say our Lord was trying to avoid going to the cross,is not exactly true . In His humanity he felt a repugnance and the awful horror of having the sins of the world placed on Himself, and he recoiled a moment from it . But He committed himself to to the Father"s will.
Commentary By : Dr. J. Vernon McGee

I love this poem by Amy Carmichael

No Scar?

Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land;
I hear them hail thy bright, ascendant star.
Hast thou no scar?

Hast thou no wound?
Yet I was wounded by the archers; spent,
Leaned Me against a tree to die; and rent
By ravening beasts that compassed Me, I swooned.
Hast thou no wound?

No wound? No scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
And piercèd are the feet that follow Me.
But thine are whole; can he have followed far
Who hast no wound or scar?

........They cast their garments upon the colt, and they put Jesus thereon.And as he went ,they spread their clothes in the way.And when he was come nigh ,even now at the descent of the Mount of Olives , the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all his mighty works that they had seen;Saying , Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord :peace in heaven, and glory in the highest . And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him,Master rebuke thy disciples . And He answered unto them, I tell you that,if these should hold their peace , the stones should immediately cry out . Luke 19 35-40


This Bible commentary is By Dr. J Vernon McGhee.


The crowd did not know the the full significance of this action.A few days later the crowd cried"Crucify Him "Even the disciples did not know the significance until later : "these things understood not his disciples at the first:but when Jesus was glorified , then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him ."(John 12"16)
This episode of coming into Jerusalem as the Lord Jesus Christ did ,was bound to incite the Roman rulers to act because of two things . First, He accepted the reverence and loyalty of these followers. In the second place, he did not silence them .
The Lord Jesus Christ recognized that eternal and significant issues were at stake and that to rebuke His followers would force the silent stones to cry out . In, fact they were crying out ,for when Nehemiah had rebuilt the walls and gates of the city, there was a message in the stones . Those very stones and walls were proclaiming the gospel message,and the gates were fairly shouting ,"Lift up your heads, O ye gates , and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors and the King of Glory shall come in "( Ps24:7 ).
It should be remembered that the so-called triumphal entry ended at the cross.Christ will come the second time in triumph.Hebrews 9:28says, "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation . "The second time the Lord will come to this earth, His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. (see Zech 14:4)Then the Lord will enter Jerusalem . His true Triumphal Entry will be at His second coming.His first entry into Jerusalem took him to the cross to die for our sins. By His death and resurrection ,Salvation is offered unto us .

" Because I live , Ye shall live also. " John 14:19


Today, I have a devotion by Watchman Nee.

God has given to us his son to be our life as well as our substitute on the cross. To understand this ,we must first be clear on what life is . When someone who is difficult calls on you, you know at once the situation requires you to be patient, but whence does your patience originate ? To supply it , you know you must draw from your very life . Often to be patient , you must call forth the very best that is in you . You know this all too well. Or let us suppose you have a big task ahead, and you feel you should be diligent and not be slothful. To be diligent ,too, calls you to put forth all your energies. Or again , someone is in trouble and you know you should show them love and helpfulness. But where does your power to help come from ? It is your life, your nature , that causes you to love . The drain upon you is immense as again and again you exercise your very life to meet outside demands . And here is the wonderful thing : God has given Christ, with the purpose that He should be to you , your Life.



Here is a graphic poem by Amy Carmichael on the subject of Christ our Life .

DUST AND FLAME

But I have seen a fiery flame
Take to his pure and burning heart
Mere dust of earth ,to it impart
His virtue, till that dust became
Transparent loveliness of flame.

O Fire of God , Thou fervent Flame
Thy dust of earth in Thee would fall,
and be lost beyond recall.
Transformed by Thee, its very name
Forgotten in Thine own, O Flame .

It is no longer I that live , but Christ livest in me.Galatians 2:20


Today's devotion is by Watchman Nee.

God has not constituted Christ our Example to be copied . He is not giving us his strength to help us imitate Christ .He has not even planted Christ within us to help to be Christ like. Galatians 2:20 is not our standard for record breaking endeavor.It is not a high aim to be aspired through long seeking and patient progress. No,it is not God's aim at all, but God's method.
When Paul says , " Christ liveth in me "he is showing us the life that gives God satisfaction in the believer, and there is no substitute. "Not I, but Christ, means Christ instead of me .When Paul uses these words ,he is not claiming to have attained something his readers have not reached to. He is defining the Christian life. The Christian life is the Christ-Life. God gives Christ to become my life and to live his life in me.

Near the Cross, A devotion by Joni Eareckson Tada

" When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake , a large crowd gathered around him" "Mark 5 :21

Jesus never enjoyed much elbow room during his public ministry. There was always a multitude , pushing and shoving to get close . When he taught in the temple, there was hardly space to breathe. When he taught in a home ,people stood wall-to-wall,spilling put the front yard and hanging from the roof. And when He tried to escape the crowd in a boat, He dropped anchor on the other side only to find another horde awaiting him. No room for Jesus--His life even began that way at the crowded inn.
There was one place, however , where where Jesus had more than enough room, almost too much space.It was a place where nobody was shoving to get close, no one wanted a ring side seat. There was plenty of room near the Cross.
Sadly , it's true today. Many Christians are satisfied to remain at a safe distance from the Cross.
Yet if we are to see real and lasting change in our lives, if we are to reckon ourselves dead to sin, it requires keeping near the Cross.


Here is Mercy Me singing Undone , (one of my favorite songs)which further testifies of the necessity of keeping near the Cross.

......God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake
you."Hebrews 13:5


When I was a little younger , I registered to win a wind surfer from a local store & to my amazement , I won . My husband & I took it to our nearby lake and tried many times to master windsurfing , but I never became very good at it at all. But it was an interesting experience. I noticed the few times I was successful at actually sailing , that there was a sensation of standing still, & a sort of isolation.I think this was because of being one with the wind ,I no longer felt it blowing against me.
I have in my spiritual & prayer life at times felt the same sort of feelings. Times when I was greatly in distress, but finding a silence from God .But I know that Jesus was always there with me because I have the assurance of his word ,that "He would never leave me or forsake me ". In those times, Faith is what carried me through . I believe if we have assurance that we are His , Then we know He is there always & hears us..

Here is a wonderful poem by Amy Carmichael.

The Age -Long Minute

Thou art the God who slept upon the pillow,
Thou art the God who smoothed the furious sea,
What matter beating wind and tossing billow
If only we are in the boat with Thee ?


Hold us in quiet through the age-long minute
While thou are silent , and the wind is shrill:
Can the boat sink while Thou dear Lord, art in it ?
Can the heart faint that waiteth on Thy will?



The song I have for today is, He Is by Mark Schultz. It really spoke to my heart as I listened to it on the radio last week.
