A Piece of Art

I enjoy jigsaw puzzles. First I put the frame together and then I work on the center. I love seeing the whole thing come together. (I hate it when there is a piece missing. LOL)
This is how we are in the hands of God. First He formed us and then He works on us from the inside out. It is not our outward appearance that is important, but the inward. What happens on the inside of us will reflect on the outside.
We are tapestries in God's hands. He puts each thread of our lives in the proper place. Every intricate piece of our life he fits together just like a jigsaw puzzle.
What a loving God we have. He will continue till He completes the work. (See Phil. 1:6)

Disfruto de los rompecabezas. Primero puse el marco juntos y luego yo trabajo en el centro. Me encanta ver que todo viene junto. (Odio cuando hay una pieza que falta. LOL)
Así es como estamos en las manos de Dios. Primero, Él nos formó y luego Trabaja con nosotros desde adentro hacia afuera. No es nuestra apariencia externa que es importante, pero el interior. ¿Qué sucede en el interior de nosotros va a reflejar en el exterior.
Vemos tapices en las manos de Dios. Se pone cada hilo de nuestras vidas en el lugar adecuado. Cada pieza compleja de nuestra vida que encaja como un rompecabezas.
¡Qué Dios vivo que tenemos. Continuará hasta que él complete el trabajo. (Ver Fil. 1:6)

He loves you and will never leave you nor forsake you.
He gave His life so that you would have life everlasting.
He knows your hearts desire and He knows every tear you have shed.

The Christmas Blessing

The Christmas blessing has withstood the sands of time. No other story
has gone down through history from one generation to the next with
such a profound impact.
Jesus, Our Messiah, was born for us and now as Christmas approaches
we once again get ready to celebrate His birth in the same wondrous
amazement as on that very day.

"Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for
all the people: for unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10, 11 ESV

Christmas Time

Christmas time has come again;
a time of joy
and
wonderment.
The wee one,
the babe,
was born on that faithful day.
The child,
who grew up,
to one day,
become the Messiah
for all of
mankind.
 
The amazement of it all!
 
Happy Birthday Jesus!

Angels

Have you noticed the fascination with angels?

There are numerous books out on angels. Paintings with depictions of angels,
jewelry, and statues.

This fascination tends to worry me at times. There is nothing wrong with
learning of angels and in the books, jewelry and so on as long as they are
kept in the right perspective, but when people get obsessed about angels
then there is a problem.

We know that angels exist as the scriptures say so, but they are here
to do God's bidding. They are the messengers and servants of God.

Our focus must always remain on God. We are not to worship the angels.
The angels worship God. (Revelation 5:11-12 and 7:11-12)

There are some that believe in angels, but do not believe in their creator.
It boggles the mind! You cannot have one without the other.
Angels exist because of the CREATOR!

Angels attend to and worship God:                Matthew 18:10; Revelation 5:11-12
Angels protect God's people:                           Daniel 6:22; Acts 5:19
Angels guide God's people:                               Matthew 25:5-7; Acts 8:26, 27:23-24
Angels bring judgment on the wicked:         Revelation 16

There are many more scriptures that show what angels are here for,
but none indicate that they are to be exalted above God or that we are
to bow our knee before them.  

We must keep our awe and reverance on God only. We must bow to God and
only God.

Be diligent my friends and be careful of false doctrine.

Blessings,
Shifra
