In Awe

I was on my way to work this morning and caught a glimpse of two birds kissing each other, beak to beak. I was once again put in awe of God's wonderful creation.
All we have to do is look around and see and know that God put this all here for us to enjoy.

Genesis 1:1 "in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Genesis 1:5 "...called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night."
Genesis 1:8 "...called the firmament Heaven."
Genesis 1:10 "And God called the dry land Earth;..."
Genesis 1:11 "And God said, let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind..."
Genesis 1:16 "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser one to rule the night: He made the stars also."
Genesis 1:21 "And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind:..."
Genesis 1:25 "And God made the beasts of the earth..."
Genesis 1:26 "...Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness:..."  (New American Standard)

How can we look around and then read these words and not know it is God? How can we deny what is right in front of us? Yet, there are so many that live in denial and refuse to let the truth in.

We are living in a more and more depraved world where people believe that whatever they do is okay.
What happened to right is right and wrong is wrong?

I can only pray that people will one day see the TRUTH so that they can be set free.

My friends be blessed and have a God-filled day,
Shifra

God Is Always Near

There just is no way to escape God even if you want to. He is relentless in His pursuit of us. He is determined to have an unconditional love affair with us. He will hound us and hound us till we get the message and either we will accept Him or we won't.

He loves us all just the way we are. There is nothing we can do to ever change that. We cannot buy our way into heaven as it is a free gift. The Father knew we could not live without sin so He gave us His Son, Jesus (Yeshua). The Son, then gave His life up for us. He became our substitution. He gave His life for us so that we could have life.

Some of us will accept His gift of mercy and some will not. How about you? What is your decision?

"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me." Psalm 139: 7-10

One day we will all face God and we will all bow our knee. The question remains whether you bow your knee now or at the Judgment Seat of the Holy One.


I chose to follow after the Messiah, Christ the Lord, and I pray that all who read this will be provoked to question whether the life they are leading is what they truly want or if there should be more for your existence in the here and now.

My friends be at peace and place your trust in the love of God,
Shifra

Great is the Lord

Greater is He that is in us;
Greater is He that is in us.
We will trust in the Lord,
we will trust in the Lord
and forever we will praise His name.

Yes, greater is He that is in us;
Greater is He that is in us.
We will exalt His name,
we will exalt His name
and forever we will be with Him.

Greater is He, greater is He, greater is He that is in us.
Greater is He, greater is He, greater is He that is in us.
