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.

Slacking the Soul



Slacking the Soul

Slacking the soul, cleansing within,
Washed with the blood of
Jesus,
Which takes away my sin.

Others will not let me forget
Life, lived in regret.
Who rules? God or man?
God says, you have been forgiven
By My touch from Heaven.

Look not again for man"s approval.
Man, too, stands before Almighty God.
Man cannot judge you within.
No ma n knows what passes between
God and you.

I know God's Son was sent to
cledanse my life, purified for eternity.
The day I acknowledge this truth,
The day I started living life to its fullest.

Keep your eyes on the groom, you have
been selected as His bride,
How can man your sin chide?

You have been made clean,
God is our Hope.

The Journey~~~~~ Walk the Talk!

We look at the past with regret and wonder if we will ever forget. God says, don't. My blood is enough. Trust the power in my blood shedd on the Cross. It is Heaven's blood which was poured out on earthly men, to bring peace in themselves and between them and God.

He says He will give us peace that passes all understanding and will guard our hearts. We must continue to praise His name, the promise is it.

Seed of Promise



Seed of Promise

What a miraculous plan,
To bring salvation to man!

Thousands of years God
devised,
To regain fallen lives.

Satan tried time and again to destroy
The Seed of promise.
In God's love, the Seed was preserved
until the perfect moment, and Satan
thought he had won.
The Seed of Promise hung on earth's rugged tree
Satan gloated to think "I win!"

What a miraculous plan,
To bring salvation to man!

Jesus died,
Satan lost,
The plan finished,
Satan defeated.

In infinite knowledge, God is working
His plan.
Your every breath, your every step,
your very life a part of God's
infinite grace.

If you would that your life have some influence on earth,
Let Heaven come down and
crown you, vessel of clay, and let God
weave into you the excellence of His plan.

What a miraculous plan,
To bring Salvation to  man!

Th Journey~~~Walk the Talk!

What a miraculous plan! Do we realize God is working His plan on our behalf. Everything He does, He is bringing heaven into our hearts. Salvation is no more than God bringing commune and fellowship to us.

Jesus, savior, is the link between us. Hanging the Seed of promise on the tree, might have looked like it was all over, it was just beginning, LIFE for man, all part of God miraculous plan.

Patience

Life Unspoken

Be patient my little heart, who yearns to
tell of God's grace and His perfect will.

As I seek Him , day by day, my thoughts and wants I
gently lay.


My life will not go unspoken.

The Journey~~~Walk the Talk! Even in the quietness of the forest, life is happening. "Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Do we believe that? While we wait by faith. we are not aware that we are changing from glory to glory. So many times we think we've got to do some thing, but it is in the waiting that does it for us. Of course, waiting for the sake of waiting won't do it, it is waiting for God to do what He says He is going to do. Then our faith increases when we see His salvation, His answer and His deliverance.

Waiting

Waiting for the early and later rains

Waiting

Wait for the Lord to return,
Wait for the early and later rains.

We wait,
impatient,
enduring, sometimes expectant,
sometimes bewildered,
asking "Why? What do I need to do?"

The "Waiting" most time is more edifying
than the promises.
Waiting
teaches us God's love.
His care,
His heart.

We pass the colors of the rainbow
seeking the pot of gold.
As we rush through life searching
for that pot of gold, we miss
the beauty of life,
the beauty of knowing
the God of the universe,
the God of our hearts,

We run
looking for our ministry!
We want to be effective,
not realizing the effectiveness is in the
Waiting. the way God wants,
waiting for His will to be known,
dying to ourselves.

Let us stand still and see the Salvation of God!

The Journey~~~~Walking the Talk!  We do not realize all of creation is waiting for the sons of God to be revealed. Creation cries for God's revelation in us. We just want to hurry up our present condition. But all the waiting is designed to learn about God, see the faithfulness of God, revealed Himself in us and also that we learn patience so that we lack nothing. The more of Jesus in us, the less we lack.
