Inspired by . . . a poem
Crouch in darkness
pass through waters
walk through fire
Jehovah-shammah
The blind see
paths are made known
crooked places made straight
Jehovah-jireh
A Presence in the valley
no fear of evil
comfort in discipline
Jehovah-raah
Trust in the Word
light and salvation
strength of my life
Jehovah-mekoddishkem
Dad’s Christmas cactus, which only ever blooms at Christmas, is blooming again.
However grieved your heart may be over personal circumstances, or worldly atrocities
listen for His voice, and let HOPE bloom anew.
Because Sunday is coming,
and spring is, too.
Blessings,
June

ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas cactus. And it's untimely bloom yet right on time, I'm sure. All these names of our Father--so hopeful. Thanks, June.
ReplyDeleteThat God even chooses to speak to us amazes me, the ways in which He sometimes chooses to do so, break my heart. Looking forward to reading your latest book review. Sounds like it's right up my alley :) thanks for stopping by, Lisa!
