Wise Words , Indeed

Hi MorningSong.

remembering in prayers.

"Everything that touches the water of this river will live."

Ezekiel 47:9a (NLT)

I would liketo share what the Bible has to say about peace, in honor of people who have served in our armed services, both to recover peace and to maintain it.

Isa 36:16 (NIV) "Do not listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and fig tree and drink water from his own cistern,

Jer 46:27 (NIV) "Do not fear, O Jacob my servant; do not be dismayed, O Israel. I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no one will make him afraid.

Ezek 34:25 (NIV) "'I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of wild beasts so that they may live in the desert and sleep in the forests in safety.

Psa 122:6 (NIV) Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure.

And -- the most important kind of all:

John 14:27 (NIV) Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Just passing through

Greetings to all

May your days be many and filled with blessings

Thank you (((TOM)))

Hope all, have a wonderful day also.

Esther
the queen of Ahasuerus

She was a Jewess named Hadas'sah (the myrtle), but when she entered the royal harem she received the name by which she henceforth became known (Esther 2:7).

Ahasuerus having divorced Vashti, chose Esther to be his wife. Soon after this he gave Haman the Agagite, his prime minister, power and authority to kill and extirpate all the Jews throughout the Persian empire. By the interposition of Esther, this terrible catastrophe was averted.

Haman was hanged on the gallows he had intended for Mordecai (Esther 7); and the Jews established an annual feast, the feast of Purim (q.v.), in memory of their wonderful deliverance.

Esther appears in the Bible as a "woman of deep piety, faith, courage, patriotism, and caution, combined with resolution; a dutiful daughter to
her adopted father, docile and obedient to his counsels, and anxious to share the king's favor with him for the good of the Jewish people.

There must have been a singular grace and charm in her aspect and manners, since “she obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked
upon her” (Esther 2:15).

She was raised up as an instrument in the hand of God to avert the destruction of the Jewish people, and to afford them protection and
forward their wealth and peace in their captivity."

It is not my ability, but my response to God's
ability, that counts.

You too, bro. Clark.

God's Comfort for Us:

(Psa 46: 1 NLT) God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

(Psa 37:7 NLT) How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.

(Isa 61:1-2 NASB) The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives, And freedom to prisoners; To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn.

(1 Pet 5:7 NLT) Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about what happens to you.


We are to comfort others:

(2 Cor 1:3-4 NASB) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

(Romans 12:15 NLT) When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow.

BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART

Author: Unknown

Believe in your heart that
something wonderful is about to happen.
Love your life.
Believe in your own powers,
and your own potential,
and in your own innate goodness.
Wake every morning
with the awe of just being alive.
Discover each day the magnificent,
awesome beauty in the world.
Explore and embrace life in yourself
and in everyone you see each day.
Reach within to find your own specialness.
Amaze yourself and rouse those around you
to the potential of each new day.
Don't be afraid to admit
that you are less than perfect;
this is the essence of your humanity.
Let those who love you help you.
Trust enough to be able to take.
Look with hope to the horizon of today,
for today is all we truly have.
Live this day well.
Let a little sun out as well as in.
Create your own rainbows.
Be open to all your possibilities;
all possibilities and Miracles.
Always believe in Miracles.

On thee my heart is resting!
Ah, this is rest indeed!
What else, Almighty Saviour,
Can a poor sinner need?
Thy light is all my wisdom,
Thy love is all my stay;
Our Father's home in glory,
Draws nearer every day.


My guilt is great, but greater
The mercy Thou dost give;
Thyself, a spotless Offering,
Hast died that I should live.
With Thee, my soul unfettered
Has risen from the dust;
They blood is all my treasure,
Thy word is all my trust.


Through me, Thou gentle Master,
Thy purposes fulfill!
I yield myself for ever
To Thy most holy will.
What though I be but weakness,
My strength is not in me;
The poorest of Thy people
Has all things, having Thee.


When clouds are darkest round me,
Thou, Lord art then most dear,
My drooping faith to quicken,
My weary soul to cheer.
Safe nestling in Thy bosom,
I gaze upon Thy face;
In vain my foes would drive me
From Thee, my hiding-place.


'Tis Thou hast made me happy,
'Tis Thou hast set me free;
To whom shall I give glory
For ever, but to Thee?
Of earthly love and blessing
Should every stream run dry,
Thy grace shall still be with me,
Thy grace, to live and die!


By Theodore Monod

Happy Labor Day

Ecclesiastes 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labor which he taketh, under the sun?

A day off maybe.

You sure can.

Hope you are enjoying the lovely long weekend.

Good morning Rainbow, and all who stop by today.

God Is Our Shepherd, My Love
Author: Joyce Hemsley


Fly beyond the skies with me,
Our Fantasia of Love to be;
never-ending, hearts ascending,
therepeutic remedy
flying high and free.
Over clouds, over the sea,
sailing to Heaven above,
in the springtime,
beautiful ringtime,
we will fly on wings of a dove,
God is our shepherd -
this is our song!
God is our Shepherd, my Love.

Psalm 118:24

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Good morning, Britty

Good morning Rainbow. Yesterday, indeed was
a beautiful day. The wedding I went to was
just perfect.

This morning, the sky outside is looking equally
beautiful.
