I Shall Not Be Moved

Jeremiah 17:4
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river....
Pslam 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper
That tree was there by the river because,
#1. That's where it was planted
#2. It's roots were able to find life giving nourishment and sustenance; the tree had everything it
needed to live a blessed life right at it's root tips.
#3. God gave it growth where it was planted, it produced fruit, the right kind at the right time.
#4. Why would it want to go anywhere else?
This question made a light bulb go on in my head. If we are where God has planted us (in His Word) then He will give us the nourishment and growth we are desiring from Him and WHY would we want to go anywhere else? This place where we are planted is not always a "physical" location, but a spiritual one. We are human and have the tendency to think in the physical realm of things. But, I believe that the Lord is speaking about this in the spiritual realm.
Lord Jesus, let me be planted in Your Word and in the ministry you have placed me in. Let my roots grow down deep into You, You are my sustenance, You are my everything,
I SHALL NOT BE MOVED!!!!

The Delights of His Love

This is my first "blog" in many months, but I am hoping to use the SOAP study that Pastor Jaron taught us about, a few Sundays ago, and incorporate it into my "Music of Praise" blog.
I write them out long hand in my journal and will subsequently share some of them with you.

S= Song of Solomon 7:6b .....how complete the delights of Your love.

O= The Lord loves me and completes me.

A= I need to look to the Lord for my completion, in every facet of life.

P= Lord Jesus, Help me to know and see You love, me everyday. To feel Your love in my heart,
acknowlege Your love in my life and give me the wisdom to see Your hands at work in my life
and the lives of my children. Thank You Lord, that my delights are complete in Your love.
In Jesus Name, Amen
