selah...meditate on this

Thinking about how God paints each season. The fall is a an array of  golds,maroons,browns,yellows and oranges.Its a magnificent  beauty of colors and with each one He has painted them with such precision.Even the sky becomes something  of beauty.The moon seems to take on a new glow of  mystery.  The animals seem to wait in an expectation of  something about to  happen...............Then suddenly one then two and then many snow flakes began to fall. It  becomes a blanket of peace that seems to fall silently to the ground. It makes  like shadowy figures on the  snow as the moon reflects off of it.Snow  becomes like this time of peace  an life is at a slow pace. God makes all beautiful for He is..........
Then when you feel its time, the tiniest little flowers seem to  come popping through the snow. As if they crying out to a new breath of life. Everything seems to be asleep till its time to awaken.Its a new life just as we will have someday.The old has passed away and all things have become new. With spring brings an array of new freshness of the earth. It rains and brings with it new seed to replenish the earth.
Summer is by the door awaiting its new delivery of life. Just then it blooms into the  picture to show all its beauty. God has placed everything in its new places.  It begins to grow as the seeds fall to the ground, before long it will be back to harvest time.
This is how life is......you are born, you began to grow an learn an experience new things and  its like a  season of spring because all is fresh an new like a new born baby. Then summer the time of growing and knowing more about yourself...a time of finding out who you are and you grow an you meet people an you meet the person of your life to start your own family. Then before you know it the fall comes and you become older and life is  more difficult.
The things of this world is passing away and the only thing that is important is where you are going.  The snow begins  and with it brings  the peaceful  solitude of death.This is what the cold brings in the blanket of peace or the coldness of death.If you know Christ it brings a peaceful  desired longing  to be with the heavenly  Father. The long last awaits for our life.This is the seasons of life to be born, to live, to die, but to go on to live everlasting with the Father. The season of our life with expectation of what awaits us.

In the realm of the spiritual

Having faith that all will be well is very difficult at times. I always believed that I totally trusted God with everything and for the most part I know I did and still do. This thing that has come into our lives can really shake your faith up and  make you just run away.Kind of like Jonah an the whale. I mean he ran cause he didn't want the people of Ninevah to know the Lord. He felt as though they had done some pretty evil things and  they deserved  whatever God was going to do.  God had told Jonah go tell them if they don't turn from their evil ways I will destroy the city. Well Jonah ran ,jumped on a boat, and try to run from God.

Its really silly that he tried to do that,but don't we  do that very thing.

  When we just think that I will run my own life or I will do whatever  I want in this life, thats pretty much running from Him.

Trust  and   faith go together.I believe so therefore I trust God with every thing in my life.  Do we? Okay Lord here is my money but I want to spend it on my own desires, I want what I want.

 He  gave it to you and believe me ,He can take it away. 

 When you think about how Jonah finally came to his senses, he thought as he was sitting in the whale, I guess  I should do what God told me to do. He did and the result was great, the people  repented and  they land was saved.  He later was mad that they had repented.    He didn't think they deserved to be saved from the wrath.But who are we that we determine our lives or others. We  think we are in control of our destiny, that if we make the money and take care of our bodies, we will be fine. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ then you don't belong to yourself anymore.

You were bought  with a price an that price was the spilling of Jesus Christ blood. We can do those things ,take care of our lives ,but He is ultimately in control. I thought I was doing the things that I was supposed to,maybe I wasn't.I know now that He has been in control.Sure I made wrong decisions but it comes to a point where its time to heed God.I'am not saying God  put this disease on me, but I believe He is allowing it for the greater good.For me and maybe for someone else.All I know is I want to live for Him and do all He wants me to do.He deserves my best, cause He Jesus gave me His....with His life.Oh how He loves us so much. Hear the voice of God today an listen to what He is telling you for your life.
