A Living God, Faithfulness, and Kindness (sending manna and meat)

Psalm 78, O my Lord who hast given and taken and continues to love his people today, I just want to say that I love you and obey you Father, I want to share your exciting deeds today in 2013 so people will know you are a God of Miracles for all your people. This is about mighty miracles, do you know what miracles are? They are an event that man can not explain from all his knowledge and is created by God to show his people he is real, living, and for them to worship and praise the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. When people see God at work what stops them from spreading the good news or to stop their sinning and sin no more? Adam had a great deal to do with fallen men and women right up until this moment, and God as you will see in this holy scripture is teaching while loving his people, and sometimes there is tough love too. AS parents you know what discipline your children is about, you still follow through even though you love them very deeply, just do not love their behavior. God’s law is the word and the word, living God is our Father Who Art In Heaven.

“Faith Of Our Father, Holy Faith”  IN this scripture the people of Ephraim, were fully armed and ready for battle, but the day of battle they turned their backs and fled, because they did not obey the Lords laws that were taught to the past fathers generations ago and passed down, still they thought they did not need to obey what they had been taught by their fathers or to believe the great miracles in those early generations. Whew, what happens next? They had forgot the wonderful miracles God had done for them and for their fathers in Egypt. He divided the sea and they were saved, in the daytime in the desert he led them by a cloud and at night by a pillar of fire. He even split open rocks in the wilderness to give them plenty of water to drink, yet they kept on their rebellion, sinning against the God who is above all gods. They demanded other better food as well as water, then he opened the windows of heaven and rained down manna, bread from heaven and so the people ate the angel’s food. God called forth an east wind and guided the south wind and he rained down birds to fall all among the people and on their tents and the people at to their fill, and before they had finished the bird meat in their mouths, the anger of the Lord rose against them and killed the finest of Israel’s young men. Yet even so the people kept on sinning and refused to believe in miracles, so he cut their lives short and gave them years of terror and disaster.

Then at last, when he had ruined them, they walked awhile behind him, how earnestly they turned around and followed him! Then they remembered that God was their rock—that their Savior was the God above all gods. But it was only with their words they followed him not with their hearts their hearts were far away. They did not keep their promises. Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins and didn’t destroy them all. Many and many a time he held back his anger. For he remembered that they were merely mortal men, gone in a moment like a breath of wind.

After all this and the people still were sinning God decided to reject Joseph’s family, the tribe if Ephraim, and chose the tribe of Judah—and Mount Zion which he loved. There he built a towering temple and chose his servant David, from feeding sheep, and God promised David to his people as their shepherd and he (David) cared for them with a true heart and skillful hands.”

I love Jesus my mighty living God, The Father, The Son, and Holy Ghost, forever and ever!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

Northern Lights on October 9, 2013 in Webster,WI

This week of October 9TH was somber in many ways, for a fellow Air Force Veteran named David Hueper, had spent a few weeks in the Twin City VA Hospital and on this Wednesday he passed away, with his daughter Stacey and his wife Ann by his bedside. I had just left 5 minutes and was only a couple of miles from the Hospital when I received the call and I came back and for a moment I was trying to think of Scripture that helps, and so I read John 14, and later their family told me that was David’s favorite chapter in the Bible, God works in mysterious ways and was speaking to me to comfort both his wife Ann and daughter Stacey. God is an awesome God a God Of Miracle and a Just God. Thank you Lord for being with all of us at David’s passing into your arms Father, you give peace and understanding and most of all you give your love to sustain each of us through your Valley of the Shadow. Peace David and may you be smiling down upon all of us fulfilling God’s word and his commands until that day, sir, yes sir, we all love you. Peace.

Psalms 71: Faith Of Our Fathers, Holy Faith!!!

“Lord, you are my refuge! Don’t let me down! Save me from my enemies, for you are just! Rescue me! Bend down your ear and listen to my plea and save me. Be to me a great protecting Rock, where I am always welcome, safe from all attacks. For you have issued the order to save me. Rescue me, O God, from these unjust and cruel men. O Lord, you alone are my hope; I’ve trusted you since childhood. Yes you have been with me from birth and have helped me constantly—no wonder I am always praising you! My success— at which so many stand amazed–is because you are my mighty protector. All day long I’ll praise and honor you, O God for all that you have done for me.”

Fruit of The Holy Spirit

When I sit around the studio and work on my painting, my process is very simple, or so it seems. My work is faith based and as a Christian, I do have a goof every once in a while, that does irk me. In reading this morning Paul’s teaching from Jesus in Galatians, Paul reminds me that the old Jewish Law does not apply, as such, in the current life, since Jesus came, and the fruits of listening to the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. By living now by the Holy Spirit’s power lead’s me in every part of my life. I have a few rough spots still after all this time, can you imagine that, still need to go through the refiners fire, yea I go by the grace of God. Hmmmm, just doing God’s work seems to be the best medicine to right my ship and not to worry about honors or popularity, they are very short lived, and can cause jealousy and hard feelings.

Best get back to painting today and to bless others, do for other as I would want done unto me, and just to live in peace and harmony.
