THE LORD OF HOST

But I am the LORD thy God, 
that divided the sea, 
whose waves roared: 
The LORD of hosts is his name.
And I have put my words in thy mouth, 
and I have covered thee in 
the shadow of mine hand, 
that I may plant the heavens, 
and lay the foundations of the earth, 
and say unto Zion, 
Thou art my people.

SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS INSPIRES A SONG - AWAY FROM HOME

Song Written By - Isabel McArthur Jones
Click Photo for Song Sampler


The Syrian refugees initially inspired the song,
then it grew to include all those persecuted
in the middle east, including both Muslims
and Christians who are robbed of a voice
by ISIS. Films such as Return to the Hiding Place,
Amazing Grace and The Giver played a special
role in reminding her that all of us have a role
in promoting healthy justice, being a voice for the
voiceless, and bringing them our support, whether
or not we have the same values as them."

This is not a political statement, but rather a 
creative way to promote justice. Artists who 
worked on this project hold various political views. 
Our heart: honor humanity. Bring hope. If not us, 
who? If not now, when?

THOU HAST SEARCHED ME

Photo by David Dedwylder

 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, 
thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, 
and art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, 
O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, 
and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; 
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? 
or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: 
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, 
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, 
and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; 
even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; 
but the night shineth as the day: 
the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
For thou hast possessed my reins: 
thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully 
and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; 
and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, 
when I was made in secret, and curiously 
\wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being 
unperfect; and in thy book all my members 
were written,   which in continuance were fashioned, 
when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, 
O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in 
number than the sand: when I awake, 
I am still with thee.  Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, 
O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
For they speak against thee wickedly, 
and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? 
and am not I grieved with those that rise up 
against thee?  I hate them with perfect hatred: 
I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: 
try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, 
and lead me in the way everlasting.
PSALM 139

GLORY IN THE HIGHEST


Photo Provided by Brett Vance - http://www.brettavance.com/blog/

Over the last few months there have been
three instances as I began to work on my
music for the Worship Services that I would
stop and soak in the beauty of the moment. 
I would stand in awe of the presence of the
Holy Spirit and wonder how he could flood
the room so powerfully and then as we
gathered together in worship to sing those
songs I could hardly keep playing the piano
as the Holy Spirit would flood the Temple
with his glory.  Our worship leader Paul Reid
has a powerful way of picking the songs
and the right music that literally takes us
to the throne of God whether at home or
on Sunday.  As we sang "It is Well" and
then weeks later we sang, "I stand
Amazed in the Presence," all true
worshipers there got a glimpse of
the glory and majesty, only a glimpse
because a full view would have been
more than we could handle.  It was a
beautiful moment, truly beautiful.

Well tomorrow we are doing a song called
"Glory in the Highest" and I must say if you
miss the service tomorrow you will miss a
beautiful thing as the praise team lifts not
only their voices but as they lift their hearts
in praise to the one who deserves all the
glory and praise due to his name.  As I
practice this song I can't explain the
power of God that floods the room. 

I stand in awe that he can take a few
words mixed with a musical sound and
voices and the angels of heaven who have
the most glorious voices ever desires to run
near and flood the room with their presence. 
This is something our church has seen 
happen upon several occasions lately
and something I don't ever want to miss.

COME JOIN US AS WE WALK THROUGH THE
STREETS OF JUDAH AND ENTER INTO THE
COURTS OF THE LORD.

BE A SHINNING LIGHT

Photo Provide by Cricket White Green

 In the beginning was the Word, 
and the Word was with God, 
and the Word was God.
The same was in the 
beginning with God.
All things were made by him; 
and without him was not any 
thing made that was made.
In him was life; 
and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; 
and the darkness comprehended it not.
There was a man sent from God, 
whose name was John.
The same came for a witness, 
to bear witness of the Light, 
that all men through him might believe.
He was not that Light,
but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
That was the true Light, 
which lighteth every man 
that cometh into the world.
 He was in the world, 
and the world was made by him, 
and the world knew him not.
He came unto his own, 
and his own received him not.
 But as many as received him, to them gave 
he power to become the sons of God, 
even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, 
nor of the will of the flesh, 
nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, 
and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, 
the glory as of the only begotten 
of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEE

Photo Provided by Brett Vance
http://www.brettavance.com/blog/

For though I would desire to glory,
I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth:
but now I forbear, lest any man should think
of me above that which he seeth me to be,
or that he heareth of me  And lest I should be exalted
above measure through the abundance of the revelations,
there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger
of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above
measure.  For this thing I besought the Lord thrice,
that it might depart from me.   And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore
will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power
of  Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take
pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,
in persecutions,  in distresses for Christ’s sake: for
when I am weak, then am I strong.

DRAWING WATER OUT OF THE WELLS OF SALVATION

 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, 
I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, 
thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, 
and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH 
is my strength and my song; he also is 
become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye 
draw water out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, 
call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, 
make mention that his name is exalted.
Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent 
things: this is known in all the earth.
Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: 
for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

YOUTH RENEWED AS THE EAGLE

Photo Provided by Crickett White Green 

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that 
is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; 
who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; 
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness 
and tender mercies;  Who satisfieth thy mouth 
with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment 
for all that are oppressed.
He made known his ways unto Moses, 
his acts unto the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, 
and plenteous in mercy.   He will not always chide: 
neither will he keep his anger for ever.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; 
nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth, 
so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
As far as the east is from the west, 
so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Like as a father pitieth his children, 
so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
For he knoweth our frame; 
he remembereth that we are dust.
As for man, his days are as grass: 
as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; 
and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting 
to everlasting upon them that fear him, 
and his righteousness unto children’s children;
To such as keep his covenant, and to those 
that remember his commandments to do them.
The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; 
and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, 
that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; 
ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of 
his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, 
and shew thee great and mighty things, 
which thou knowest not.
Jeremiah 33:3

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: 
let them also that hate him flee before him.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: 
as wax melteth before the fire, 
so let the wicked perish at the 
presence of God.  But let the righteous 
be glad; let them rejoice before God: 
yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: 
extol him that rideth upon the heavens 
by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.

THE LORD YOUR GOD IS IN THE MIDST

Photo Provided by Cricket White Green 

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; 
he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; 
he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn 
assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach 
of it was a burden.  Behold, at that time I 
will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her 
that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; 
and I will get them praise and fame in every 
land where they have been put to shame.
At that time will I bring you again, 
even in the time that I gather you: 
for I will make you a name and a praise 
among all people of the earth, when I turn 
back your captivity before your eyes, 
saith the LORD.

HE MAKES MY FEET LIKE HINDS FEET





Although the fig tree shall not blossom, 
neither shall fruit be in the vines; 
the labour of the olive shall fail, 
and the fields shall yield no meat; 
the flock shall be cut off 
from the fold, and there 
shall be no herd in the stalls:

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, 
I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The LORD God is my strength, 

and he will make my feet like 
hinds’ feet, and he will make 
me to walk upon mine high places.

of the earth: break forth into singing, 
ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein:

WALKING THROUGH JUDAH INTO THE COURTS OF THE LORD


Photo Provided by Kay Rowe


On August 16th I posted on my Facebook page,
"Come walk through the streets of Judah
into the courts of praise."  Not understanding 
fully what that meant.  The Lord decided
to give this ministry the full open view 
of what those words meant.  I can tell you 
now, we had a front row seat to the 
greatest symphony I've ever seen. 

As the doors began to open in every direction
and the light of Jesus Christ began to shine 
through, those words came to me once
again,  This time I thought I might want
to study them out.  In that study
I found that the streets of Judah is 
what the Israelite's or anyone wanting
to go into the Holy of Holies had to 
walk through to enter into the Courts
of the Lord.  You couldn't go through
a side door, you couldn't get there from 
the back.  You physically had to walk 
through the streets of Judah in order 
to enter into the Holy of Holies. 

Judah, means praise.  So although we
don't live in the wilderness and have
tents set up and the Holy of Holies set 
up in the desert, we still are able see the
beautiful picture of why the Lord had
such a layout for the children of Israel.  

We do find ourselves in the dessert and
dry lands in our present lives and
the same is true for us.  

We must walk through Judah to enter 
into the courts of the Lord! 

Now, I must say that over the last two months of 
this journey I have ran across some people about 
to burst with excitement for the ministry as it unfolds,
but I must say I have also ran across the opposite.
 No, they were not the lost world or demonic groups, 
there have been some born again believers that have
tried to smash defeat all over me.  Some say, do 
you really think this was exactly how it happened 
or don't you think that's a little overstatement.  

I have faced this question and will give the answer.
  
Why are you looking at things the way you do?  

Let me give you an example that you have 
probably already heard.  If there is a glass of 
water setting on the table and filled 
exactly to the middle, you will have people say
the glass is half full and others say the
glass is half empty. The reason for this is some
people will always look at the negative
side of things while another person will always
look at the positive side of things.  

So when we are walking side by side at work,
at church, on the streets, or even sitting
here at home doing ministry on the computer,
be aware that we can see the
exact same moving of God's power
and even though I see it as being over-flowing,
some other person will see the negative side of it.
They will see the dirt all around or the bad
attitude someone has instead of seeing how
God is moving. 

As our worship team has moved into praise
(the streets of Judah) recently, we have seen a
few weep with the power of the presence of the 
Holy Spirit or raise their hands, while at the
same time we have seen people checking their phone
to see what time it is or who is texting them. 

I can tell you now that the ones walking through
the streets of Judah, (Praise)  will enter 
into the courts of the Lord and get to see 
his glory and the ones texting, 
chatting or being impatient will become frustrated
and angry because they are not seeing what you 
are seeing and honestly don't even believe you
are seeing anything.  They will throw out 
negative comments and wonder why, if you are 
getting to see glory of God they are not getting to. 

We have all been invited to walk through the
streets of Judah into the courts of the Lord and if 
you want to see his power, his glory and 
his majesty then we ask for you to join 
us.

Pretending you are praising 
will not get you there but true worship
and praise will allow you to get 
a glimpse of the power and majesty of
God and will cause you to want to 
enter into the courts of the Lord 
daily.  

Want you join us as we walk through the 
streets of Judah into the courts of the 
Lord.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance 
of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil 
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.


Hebrews 10:22

YOURS IS THE KINGDOM

Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, 
and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: 
for all that is in the heaven and in the earth 
is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, 
and thou art exalted as head above all.
Both riches and honour come of thee, 
and thou reignest over all; 
and in thine hand is power and might; 
and in thine hand it is to make great, 
and to give strength unto all.
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, 
and praise thy glorious name.

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

Photo provided by Kay Rowe

 Let as many servants as are under the yoke 
count their own masters worthy of 
all honour, that the name of God 
and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
And they that have believing masters, 
let them not despise them, because they 
are brethren; but rather do them service, 
because they are faithful and beloved, 
partakers of the benefit. These things teach 
and exhort. If any man teach otherwise, 
and consent not to wholesome words, 
even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, 
but doting about questions and strifes of words, 
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, 
evil surmisings,  Perverse disputings of men of 
corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, 
supposing that gain is godliness: from such 
withdraw thyself.  But godliness with contentment 
is great gain.   For we brought nothing into this 
world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be 
herewith content.   But they that will be rich fall 
into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish 
and hurtful lusts, which drown men in 
destruction and perdition. For the love of money 
is the root of all evil: which while some 
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, 
and pierced themselves through with many 
sorrows. But thou, O man of God, 
flee these things; and follow after righteousness, 
godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on 
eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, 
and hast professed a good profession before 
many witnesses.

VIEWING GLORY


This is something that we seen months ago and
I never shared because honestly I was a little
surprised by it and even questioned it at times
as to why we had seen this.

As Steve and I was returning from Tennessee in 
June the weather was so extremely bad the flights 
were canceled on us two times.  Finally getting a 
flight into Dallas from Nashville Tennessee, we 
realized that the bad weather was still causing issues. 

As the pilot announced to us that our landing
would possibly be delayed by an hour or so
he reminded us that they had added extra fuel
to the plane in case we had to stay in the air
for an hour or so before landing.  

As we got closer to the Dallas area I was praying
and watching the clouds intently.  They were
threatening and as I prayed for protection,
watch and care from the Lord, I spotted
something in the distance.  I thought it was 
another air plane but as I watched I realized it was a
shadow of our airplane with a complete rainbow 
surrounding it.  I was so excited, I told Steve 
to look out the window, he did and seen nothing.  
So I said, you gotta see this and he looked
again and saw nothing.  By this time I am 
thinking I might possibly be loosing my mind.  But
I was persistent and told him to put his head exactly 
where mine was.  He did and he was able to also see 
the most phenomenal thing.  We were both in awe.  There
were a hundred of other people on the aircraft that didn't 
see it because one had to be in the exact perfect spot to 
catch a glimpse of this reflection.  

I came home that night and searched the internet 
and found that when you see an airplane with a 
rainbow around the shadow, it is called, GLORY.
As I read what caused this phenomenal event
I realized in my own life that I constantly
need to ask the Lord to keep the storms of
life underneath me instead of letting them
engulf and control me and that the tears
of compassion mixed with those dark
clouds and the light of Jesus Christ
can also cause Glory to be seen in our
own lives

As the months have moved on I didn't post this
because I felt a bit out of place posting such a thing.  
But as God has opened the windows of heaven on
this ministry I feel that I need to share this because
not only did I get to see GLORY from the airplane and 
then turn to Steve and show him.  We have been 
able to see GLORY from the ground also.  

I say this so that you can understand I'm not the
only one seeing GLORY,   There are others
seeing the Glory of God.  We have heard lately
several stories of people finding physical
or emotional healing.  We have heard of
people finding Christ or returning to
the father for a closer walk with him.
We have ministry at our church to
diversified cultures that God is going
to use in a powerful way if we keep
our eyes on him. 

Take the time to look up glory from an aircraft and
see what I was able to see that day but most of
all keep praying that each of us get to
experience the GLORY of GOD from right
here on earth.  Keep your eyes on him and what he
is doing all around you as I have had several share
with me at work and at church lately how the Lord
is doing some glorious things in and through
them and we can all be a part of seeing the Glory
of God shining forth in lives, in families
and in churches.

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
and you will get to see glory in a brighter 
more exciting way each day.

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people,
saith your God.  Speak ye comfortably
to Jerusalem, and cry unto her,
that her warfare is accomplished,
that her iniquity is pardoned:
for she hath received of the LORD’S
hand double for all her sins.  The voice
of him that crieth in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the LORD,
make straight in the desert a highway
for our God.  Every valley shall
be exalted, and every mountain and hill
shall be made low: and the crooked shall
be made straight, and the rough places plain:
And the glory of the LORD shall be 
revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: 
for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it

THE FATHER SENDING A COMFORTER

Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me,
the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask
in my name, that will I do,
 that the Father may be glorified
in the Son. If ye shall ask any
thing in my name, I will do it.
If ye love me, keep my
commandments. And I will pray
the Father, and he shall give you
another Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the
world cannot receive, because it seeth
him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth
with you, and shall be in you.
I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you.

O THE DEPTH OF HIS LOVE

For as ye in times past have not believed God, 
yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Even so have these also now not believed, 
that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, 
that he might have mercy upon all.
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom 
and knowledge of God! how unsearchable 
are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? 
or who hath been his counsellor?
Or who hath first given to him, 
and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
For of him, and through him, and to him, 
are all things: to whom be glory for ever.

There is a river, the streams whereof shall 
make glad the city of God, the holy place of 
the tabernacles of the most High.  God is in 
the midst of her; she shall not be moved:

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: 
he uttered his voice, the earth melted.  
The LORD of hosts is with us; 
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 
Come, behold the works of the LORD, 
what desolations he hath made in 
the earth.He maketh wars to cease unto 
the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, 
and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth 
the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know t
hat I am God:  I will be exalted among the 
heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.  
The LORD of hosts is with us; 
the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the LORD is upon 
the waters: the God of glory thundereth: 
the LORD is upon many waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful; 
the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; 
yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like 
a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a 
young unicorn.  The voice of the 
LORD divideth the flames of fire.
The voice of the LORD shaketh 
the wilderness; the LORD shaketh 
the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the LORD maketh the
hinds to calve, and discovereth 
the forests: and in his temple doth 
every one speak of his glory.  
The LORD sitteth upon the flood; 
yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
The LORD will give strength unto his people; 
the LORD will bless his people with peace.

HOW GREAT THOU ART

Photo provided by Kay Rowe

O LORD, how great are thy works! 
and thy thoughts are very deep.
A brutish man knoweth not; neither 
doth a fool understand this.
When the wicked spring as the grass, 
and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; 
it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, 
lo, thine enemies shall perish; 
all the workers of iniquity shall 
be scattered.  But my horn shalt thou 
exalt like the horn of an unicorn: 
I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Mine eye also shall see my desire 
on mine enemies, and mine ears shall 
hear my desire of the wicked that 
rise up against me.  The righteous shall 
flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow 
like a cedar in Lebanon.  Those that be planted 
in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the 
courts of our God.  They shall still bring forth fruit 
in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
To shew that the LORD is upright: 
he is my rock, and there is no 
unrighteousness in him.

Psalms 92: 5-15

IN HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST

For of him, and through him, and to him, 
are all things: to whom be glory for ever.
Amen. I beseech you therefore, 
brethren, by the mercies of God, 
that ye present your bodies a living 
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, 
which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing 
of your mind, that ye may prove 
what is that good, and acceptable, 
and perfect, will of God.

I LIFT UP MINE EYES UNTO THE HILLS

Photo provided by Kay Rowe

 In my distress I cried unto the LORD, 
and he heard me.
Deliver my soul, O LORD, 
from lying lips, and from a 
deceitful tongue. What shall be given 
unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, 
thou false tongue?  Sharp arrows of the 
mighty, with coals of juniper.  Woe is me, 
that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell 
in the tents of Kedar!  My soul hath long 
dwelt with him that hateth peace.
I am for peace: but when I speak, 
they are for war. " A Song of degrees. 
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, 
from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, 
which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: 
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall 
neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD 
is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, 
nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: 
he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out 
and thy coming in from this time forth, 
and even for evermore.

Psalms 120:1 - 121:8

THOU O LORD, ART A SHIELD ABOUT ME

Photo Provided by Kay Rowe

 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! 
many are they that rise up against me.
Many there be which say of my soul, 
There is no help for him in God. Selah.
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; 
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
I cried unto the LORD with my voice, 
and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; 
for the LORD sustained me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, 
that have set themselves against me round about.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: 
for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the 
cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth 
of the ungodly.  Salvation belongeth unto 
the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. 
Selah.

I WILL WAIT

Photo provided by Kay Rowe

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; 
I will wait for the God of my salvation: 
my God will hear me.
Rejoice not against me, 
O mine enemy: when I fall, 
I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, 
the LORD shall be a light unto me.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD, 
because I have sinned against him, 
until he plead my cause, and execute 
judgment for me: he will bring me 
forth to the light, and I shall 
behold his righteousness.

THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CARRYING THE GOSPEL TO EVERY NATION

Photo by Kay Rowe


And I saw another angel fly in 
the midst of heaven, having 
the everlasting gospel to preach 
unto them that dwell on the 
earth, and to every nation, 
and kindred, and tongue, 
and people,  Saying with 
a loud voice, Fear God, 
and give glory to him; 
for the hour of his 
judgment is come: and 
worship him that made 
heaven, and earth, and 
the sea, and the fountains 
of waters.

THOU HAST ENLARGED MY STEPS

Photo Provided by Kay Rowe


Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, 
that my feet did not slip.
I have pursued mine enemies, 
and overtaken them: neither 
did I turn again till they were consumed.
I have wounded them that they 
were not able to rise: they are 
fallen under my feet.
For thou hast girded me with 
strength unto the battle: 
thou hast subdued under me 
those that rose up against me.
Thou hast also given me the necks 
of mine enemies; that I might 
destroy them that hate me.
They cried, but there was 
none to save them: even 
unto the LORD, but he 
answered them not.
Then did I beat them small 
as the dust before the wind: 
I did cast them out 
as the dirt in the streets.
Thou hast delivered me 
from the strivings of the 
people; and thou hast 
made me the head of 
the heathen: a people 
whom I have not known 
shall serve me.
As soon as they hear 
of me, they shall obey 
me: the strangers shall 
submit themselves unto me.
The strangers shall fade 
away, and be afraid out 
of their close places.
The LORD liveth; 
and blessed be my rock; 
and let the God of my 
salvation be exalted.
It is God that avengeth 
me, and subdueth 
the people under me.
He delivereth me from 
mine enemies: yea, thou 
liftest me up above those 
that rise up against me: 
Thou hast delivered me 
from the violent man.
Therefore will I give 
thanks unto thee, O LORD, 
among the heathen, 
and sing praises unto thy name.
Great deliverance giveth 
he to his king; and sheweth 
mercy to his anointed, to 
David, and to his seed for evermore.

FULLNESS OF JOY

PHOTO PROVIDED BY CAROL GARBORG


The LORD is the portion of mine 
inheritance and of my cup: thou 
maintainest my lot.  The lines are
 fallen unto me in pleasant places; 
yea, I have a goodly heritage.
I will bless the LORD, 
who hath given me counsel: 
my reins also instruct me in 
the night seasons.  I have 
set the LORD always before 
me: because he is at my right 
hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, 
and my glory rejoiceth: 
my flesh also shall rest in hope.
For thou wilt not leave my 
soul in hell; neither wilt thou 
suffer thine Holy One to see 
corruption.  Thou wilt shew 
me the path of life: in thy 
presence is fulness of joy; 
at thy right hand there are 
pleasures for evermore.

WHO CAN KNOW THE MIND OF GOD

 Photo Provided by Kay Rowe



O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom 
and knowledge of God! how unsearchable 
are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? 
or who hath been his counselor?
Or who hath first given to him, 
and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
For of him, and through him, and to him, 
are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, 
by the mercies of God, 
that ye present your bodies a 
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable 
unto God, which is your reasonable 
service.And be not conformed 
to this world: but be ye transformed 
by the renewing of your mind, 
that ye may prove what is that good, 
and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
