Word Wednesday #66

“But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” Isaiah 43:1
Spoken to Israel, this is a truth every person must embrace by faith. Do you believe that there is only one God? that there is no Savior but the Lord Jesus Christ?

“I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.” (Isaiah 43:25)

“Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.” (Isaiah 44:8)

“I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45:5-6)

“Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” (Isaiah 45:21-22)

Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,” (Isaiah 46:9)

Psalm 119:49

Psalm 119:49
(49)  Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
We can hope in God’s promises:
“My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.” (Psalms 119:81)
“Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.” (Psalms 119:114)
“Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.”  (Psalms 119:116)
“I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.”  (Psalms 130:5)
“For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;” (Colossians 1:5)

Abraham is a great example of a man who hoped in God’s Word and His promises: “He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.” (Romans 4:20-22) He knew that God would remember His promises to His servant. And he did not stagger in his faith. Do I believe God’s promises so much that my faith is unwavering?

Of Rocks and Trees

Pictures from our Colorado trip…might take me several weeks to get more pictures up (including pictures from Canyon Land, Utah!) but enjoy these for now!

For a fun effect, I used a slow shutter speed and zoomed out the lens while the shutter was still open

~*~*~
This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.
