The Earth will bring forth its Praise

In the Psalms many of David's songs began in distress and concluded in victory. He journeyed from where he was to the throne, to the temple.

Israel sang his psalms as they journey from their homeland every year to the temple where they brought sacrific and were released from their sins for one more year. There is a progression in the psalms.

The following devotions are from Betty Slade's poetry books, "Within the Veil" and the second volumn "In His Presence".

A Pilgrim

Just a pilgrim passing through
The bounds of mere man
The rules of mere doctrine
Time given to mere earth.

This pilgrim has travelled
through time and space
to the heavenly city of faith.
The reality of life with God.

Operating ouside of time
As we submit to His purpose and plan
He passes talent
knowledge
and strength
To do exceedingly abundant of what
He asks or thinks,
according to the power
that works in tis mere pilgrim.

Bride of Jesus


Bride of Jesus

Jesus came to take His bride,
adorned for her wedding day,
pure in heart,
faithful to her groom.
Many called, plenty of room. But few responding
to his love.
Poor ones, rich ones, and hearty too,
this One from above is
God's plan
for you.

Sorry heart, you will one day say, "only if
I knew, I could now stand before the King,
exalted in His glory, to rule in His deity."
Mere flesh, with fading beautywould not
receive His love,
sent on the wings of the snow white dove.
Sorry heart, surrender today.
Live in Heaven's abudance, rather than
earth's poverty.

How can I say it differently, so your
heart will,receive the real meaning of life?
Only the Holy Spirit can make you ready
to reach up to God's plan.

Know your heart!
Lift up your hands!
My Savior!
Your Savior!

The Journey~~~ Walk the Talk!

How foolish we are to refuse the love of God when we are fading beauty and mere flesh who will one day die. His Love has offered us eternal  life, a quality and quantity of Life forever. We are asked to come to Him as His bride, pure in heart, and faithful to her groom.

Oh Fickle heart!
