Under HIS Wings....

... I am safely abiding, though the night deepens and tempests are wild;
Still I can trust Him I know He will keep me, He has redeemed me and I am His child!


Under HIS wings, Under His wings ~ Who from His Love can sever?
under His wings My soul shall abide, Safely abide forever.


Ist verse and chorus from another hymn from my childhood!
The story behind is amazing... Will share it soon...and the other great verses ..
Hope you can sing it along with me ....it is my theme fast song! ( from psalm 91 also!)

FAITH IS AN INVITATION MORE THAN A COMMAND

Faith is a command. It is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Without
faith it is impossible to please God. Scripture adds, “If any man draw back,
I will have no pleasure in him” (Hebrews 10:38).

I shudder when I think of the terror and dangers of unbelief. Unbelief is a
bottomless pit of fear, anguish and discouragement. The consequences of
unbelief are horrendous. It begins with fearing what we cannot see. One fear
today leads to two fears tomorrow, then three, and then fears become a
bottomless pit of uncontrollable anguish and despair.
To read the rest of short devotion:

Also devotion ( about FEAR and the sure antidote!!! ) for the day from a Daniel Fast Blogger:

Here is a 'taste':
..."The immediate response to our feelings of fear, worry or anxiety should be the Word of God. Instead of asking God to remove fear from us . . . we need to follow His instructions and fill our spirits and souls with the Word - the proven antidote for fear." - Susan Gregory, Daniel Fast Blogger:

Oh LORD, You are Beautiful...

YOUR FACE is ALL I seek!.... Hope you know that lovely song~ that was what my heart sang as I awoke at 6 am...

Started my regular "Daniel Fast chapters" reading Deuteronomy 28:1-15 and counting all the BLESSINGS GOD wants to give us IF we will diligently listen and obey HIS voice and commands.... then off to Psalms 34... &. 91 ...WOW...Isaiah 58 & 51 will be later refreshment...

I am drinking ( continually ) from the springs of LIVING water~ my soul is satisfied ( another song from childhood church and Sunday School!)

How about you ? Is your soul satisfied?....seek JESUS , our only access to the HOLY GOD! CRY OUT! Pray! FOR Prayer is like breathing- you are not alive if you are not breathing- we should think of prayer this way !.... The thief on the cross did nothing more than pray- humbling asking forgiveness and talking to Jesus...and he was in paradise that day.... Nothing extra was needed... But after short time he would have need water to drink to stay alive physically and spiritually... And then to really thrive EXERCISE.... read His LIVING WORD , the Bible and meditate... The harder things are the more air & the more "water" we need- physically & spiritually ... And find a church body you can grow with and " exercise" your gifts....
Exercise for the body is important is key to optimum health... And even more important to have spiritual exercise!!! - Using the Gifts God gave you to bless others!!!

Balance is the Key to radiant health... Something that will never be PERFECT here on earth but should be our goal!

That's the " nutshell of my heart today- what is on your heart?

Do check out The Daniel Fast blogger or web to press into God and see breakthroughs in your life too!
BE BLESSED How?
Psalms 37:4 says
" delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart!" OH, HE has in my life and does daily!!!!
Like I have told my children ..
" Obedience brings BLESSINGS!.... Disobedience brings curses!". See Deut chap 28.... Actually whole BIBLE!
..... Breathe and drink and exercise with JESUS ...daily... Moment by moment....

I am certainly not perfect and far from balanced right now but..
I am perfectly forgiven!!! And know the one who can balance me - IF I DILIGENTLY listen and OBEY HOS VOICE - not being a man- pleaser...pleasing GOD ABOVE ALL!

Trusting and Obeying , more each day,

Marching to ZION!!!.... Isaiah 53-54

"REPENT!... For the Kingdom of God is at Hand....

He was wounded for our transgressions...
He was despised, rejected of men...
A man of sorrows , acquainted with grief..
We esteemed Him not...
And by HIS stripes we are healed...


ALL WE LIKE SHEEP HAVE GONE ASTRAY....
We have turned EVERY ONE to his own way....
And the LORD has laid on HIM the iniquity of us all!...Isaiah 53

... " REDEEMER... The HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ...
the GOD of the whole earth.....
With GREAT MERCIES will I gather thee... Isaiah. 54:5,6,7,-10....
and all thy children shall be taught of the Lord!...
And GREAT PEACE shall be the peace of thy CHILDREN...
No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper... Vs 17

Morning and Evening

Charles H. Spurgeon

Morning Reading

Acts 4:13--Acts 4:13

A Christian should be a striking likeness of Jesus Christ. You have
read lives of Christ, beautifully and eloquently written, but the best
life of Christ is His living biography, written out in the words and
actions of His people. If we were what we profess to be, and what we
should be, we should be pictures of Christ; yea, such striking
likenesses of Him, that the world would not have to hold us up by the
hour together, and say, "Well, it seems somewhat of a likeness;" but
they would, when they once beheld us, exclaim, "He has been with Jesus;
he has been taught of Him; he is like Him; he has caught the very idea
of the holy Man of Nazareth, and he works it out in his life and
every-day actions." A Christian should be like Christ in his boldness.
Never blush to own your religion; your profession will never disgrace
you: take care you never disgrace that. Be like Jesus, very valiant for
your God. Imitate Him in your loving spirit; think kindly, speak
kindly, and do kindly, that men may say of you, "He has been with
Jesus." Imitate Jesus in His holiness. Was He zealous for His Master?
So be you; ever go about doing good. Let not time be wasted: it is too
precious. Was He self-denying, never looking to His own interest? Be
the same. Was He devout? Be you fervent in your prayers. Had He
deference to His Father's will? So submit yourselves to Him. Was He
patient? So learn to endure. And best of all, as the highest
portraiture of Jesus, try to forgive your enemies, as He did; and let
those sublime words of your Master, "Father, forgive them; for they
know not what they do," always ring in your ears. Forgive, as you hope
to be forgiven. Heap coals of fire on the head of your foe by your
kindness to him. Good for evil, recollect, is godlike. Be godlike,
then; and in all ways and by all means, so live that all may say of
you, "He has been with Jesus."

When the world is shaking... HEAVEN stands and....

....when my heart is breaking He ( God) holds me in HIS Hands... Adapted from JJ Heller's song " YOUR hands",

How are you ?

Choosing to abide,
ruthie
