Psalm 121 King James Version (KJV) 121  I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2  My help cometh from the  Lord , which made heaven and earth. Dear Friends,  Look up!  Look to the Lord Who dwells on high!

He can  enable us to climb the mountains.Whatever is needed to meet the challenge, to accomplish His will, the Lord will provide. Look up!  Look to the Lord Who dwells on high!

It is in His Word that I find solace, safety and peace and the strength to go on. The same Word of God has always been. St. John 1:1 tells us that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.  Jesus, the Word of God. I will praise His Word. I have put my trust in Jesus, in the Word. I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. Glory to God! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. 3 Therefore now, O Lord , take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 Then said the Lord , Doest thou well to be angry? 5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. 6 And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. 7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd t

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters." - Psalm 23:2 Dear Friends. What a blessing it is to know that as a child of the King we are not left to wander on our own.  We have a Leader.  We have a Guide. We have a Captain. We have a Gate Keeper.  Jesus is always looking out for us.  The Holy Spirit makes intercession for us.   When we are weary and it seems as though life is just to much to bear Our Shepherd the Lord makes us to lie down in green pastures.

God bless you! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Jonah 3:1-10 (KJV) 1 And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord . Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 But let man and

I offer one today in hopes that the words will offer encouragement and reflection: I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say ... By H. Bonar (1808-1889) Meter: C.M.D. I heard the voice of Jesus
