Safety

 Psalm 91


There is safety only in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God Yahweh. The Holy Spirit is with and within those that love the Lord. It is hard to express and, at times, to wrap the mind around a triune God. It is just as hard to grasp the idea that not loving others more than self is to not love that very same Triune God. (Galatians 5:16-25, Mark 10:17-27) To count the riches of this world as worthless compared to what is offered in the next world (eternity) is the first step in the love of God. It is not wrong to have wealth but it  must be used for those in need not for self gratification. Love of wealth is not the love of God. Christ could have commanded the whole of the earth, taken all of the wealth for Himself, Healed only the rich and forsaken the poor and the lowly. Instead he became the healer of all who asked to be healed, called the uneducated to follow Him. His only request was for others to become selfless as He had become. He had great love for others because He had great love for His Father in Heaven. He imitated His, our Father, in heaven, and was protected until He willingly gave Himself up for us on Calvary. Look back on your life and see those times when you were protected and held close to our Jesus and know there are no places to find safety greater than that which The Spirit affords. Nothing is more precious than the spirit within each of us to our God. He will protect each and every one of us in the safety of His embrace.

Here is a different rendition of the image from last week.


I would like to also share some photos of the spring scenery from this past May. Enjoy!








These are from around the yard and the neighbor's yard. That is it for this week. God Bless and keep you safe. Thanks for stopping by and remember to always Love The Details.

  1. Yes, I am so grateful for Father God's protection of my life over the years. To love as God loves is only possible through the Holy Spirit's work in our lives, and He so graciously helps us to fufill that command to love and be selfless in doing so
    Beautiful, vibrant colouring this week Jim.
    Stay safe
    Blessings
