Sing

"Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the L-RD..."Exodus 15:1
"Then Israel sang this song,..." Numbers 21:17
"Then sang Deborah and Barak..."...even I, will sing unto the L-rd, I will sing praise to the L-RD G-D of Israel..."
"Sing unto the L-RD, all the earth;shew forth from day to day his salvation," IChronicles 16:23
"Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the L-RD, because he cometh to judge the earth."
Singing is a way to praise the L-RD.

When G-d sings

I love  this verse about G-d joying over Israel with song during the kingdom.  It comes from Zephaniah 3:17
"The L-RD thy G-d in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing."
Because of my trust in the Lamb of G-d which taketh away the sin of the world I will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom.  I will hear G-d sing.  Will you be there also to hear G-d sing?

Family

My husband and I have interacted with the Jewish community over 30 years.  It has been the biggest part of our life  As his health deteriorates the interaction becomes less and less.  We love the Jews and miss their friendship.One day we will sit down in the kingdom with Abraham, Issac, Jacob, and others that have put their faith in the redemption of the Messiah.  G-d is the G-d of the living not of the dead. 

Since returning home Ed has gone back into the hospital.  It was eminent, just a matter of when. May G-d be glorified and The L-RD be lifted up in every situation that people would be drawn unto the Messiah.

As we celebrate Independence Day may you think about true freedom, freedom from guilt, from the wages of sin, from the penalty of sin, found through the shed blood of the promised Messiah.

Time for a break

This should be interesting.  We have five children, all married and all with families.  For my sixtieth birthday most of us will be getting together at an amusement park for a day of fun.  L-RD willing, there will be 24 of us going.  We will see how the day goes  "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:..." Proverbs 17:22a

Spring

Spring is around the corner. We have had a mild winter in this section of the country. Today is in the 60's with a small breeze. The sun is shining. It is the kind of day that makes you want to be outside, to go somewhere, to see places or do something, a light hearted day, fresh and new.

This so reminds me of redemption, when a person's sins are lifted, guilt is gone, a clear conscience with G-d. We have been forgiven, sins forgotten and everything is new, fresh, and enjoyable.

Passover is also almost here. A time to remember deliverance from hard bondage, bitter tears, separation from family. Without G-d's passover there would have been no looking forward to a better tomorrow.

The passover is symbolic of our hard bondage in sin, the bitter tears and separation from family. Without the shedding of blood is no remission. The blood of G-d's perfect lamb was shed for our iniquities.Through faith in the supreme sacrifice on Golgotha and the resurrection of the Messiah we can have new life in Him. We can be made clean, our sins forgiven and have a clear conscience with G-d, to live with Him forever.

The L-RD sings

I love to sing and worship the L-Rd in singing. This verse amazes me in that the L-RD will sing to us one day.It just makes me want to worship the L-RD even more . He is so humble, giving, and kind. I hope you enjoy this verse found in Zephaniah 3:17

"The L-RD thy G-d in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing."
