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.

Mystery Unveiled

Mystery Unveiled (16X20 Mixed Media)
I hold a mystery deep within my soul ready     
    to be unveiled,
A story that must be told.

Words written by a surrendered heart, sharing
    outwardly what God has wrought, full
    potential seen only in part,
Shared with the hope of unlocking another's heart.
A small piece of puzzle in my hand,
Thoughts penned by my ready heart, helps
    me know who He is, and who I am.

One quiet word, fitly spoken,
World's treasure held for a moment,
An answer to a hurting world.
My part - a small token.
Writing thoughts, sharing feelings from
    deep within my soul
Thankful to be set free, His story given to
    another in need.


The Journey~~~~~ Walk the Talk! It is a mystery indeed! How God has come to dwell in this frail  body. As we begin this journey, we learn how undone we are and how much we need to change. It is a work of the Holy Spirit, we can not change ourselves. We each hold a piece of the puzzle in our hand. We each witness Jesus in our way, and all together we show the full revelation of the One we loive.
