From the Deck

2 Comments

I planted myself on the deck today for some devoted time — much later than my usual,  I won’t bore you with my sourdough bread story that kept me up late. 
I went out to the deck. It is not a fancy view, but the greens in all their majestic display made my whole soul breathe deep and smile. 

And I said, Father, what must Your Home be like?! I am imagining He said, ‘ It’s your Home too. ‘ There are some passages of Scripture to support my imagination.  I’ll get to those in a bit. 

This planet is on course for destruction as we know it, and has been since the sin of man marred it. These thoughts were full of sorrow, but then came the glorious truth! 

Man has indeed marred this earth. Man mars everything he touches, and will continue to do so for as long as man remains under the dominion of satan.  BUT!

The glorious truth! When we who have been born again get to Heaven, we will not mar the place! We will not lessen its value! We will not deplete it! We will bring no harm of any kind or degree to that Perfect Place! Father GOD has and is continuing to build us so we can live there without sin, without doing any damage whatsoever to that beautiful place.
The Place of Perfect Loveliness that exceeds the beauty here by eternity!  
You do agree that this creation here is beautiful, right? Then, Heaven can only far exceed our best imaginations! 

I am glad I came to the deck today! It’s beautiful out here, but HOME—well, we will see just how lovely it is one day soon.  A day that will not end. 

We hope you enjoy the pictures.

A Strong Suggestion

Leave a comment

I am inviting you to come aboard my thought train.

I was remembering a youth building and wondering what with did they finally cover the walls.
Boundaries, it seems to me, are necessary for the health of a building and those who enter therein. The walls of our rooms speak about those who decorate them.
What they value.
What they wish to assimilate.
What they wish to say, like, this is pretty to me.

So how do we determine what should cover our walls or occupy space in our minds?
It’s a valid question, I think, and I have a strong suggestion.

Any person we esteem, before we take part in (or put on our walls) the products, clothing, music, etc., or embrace an admiring association with them, we would be wise to determine this: does their personification, their day in and day out, reflect and demonstrate that they are consistently obedient to the Bible? I didn’t say perfectly obedient, I said consistently obedient.
No?
No, there is no visible fruit that they are daily endeavoring to walk circumspectly with the LORD.
Then don’t take their stuff home with you!

Ephesians 5: 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.  LINK

I know it’s a hard row to hoe; I’m still practicing myself. However, GOD is always faithful to provide wisdom and strength to do His Will.

I am trusting that the information pictured is accurate. I am speaking of the Roman helmet; we KNOW the Scripture is wholly true.  
Helmet of Salvation – making sure our minds have been changed, making sure that we have come into agreement with GOD about sin, about hell, about the grave, about eternity, with our eyes wide open, I might add.  
If you will, study the picture a bit along with the Scripture, what do you see? 

The weekend is very close — y’all have some holy fun!
