How do you put life in a few words

The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. The Lord is a prayer answerer, comfortor, loving, faithful, just, trustworthy KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

random wordstry sitting you and your life
in a photobooth
snapping picture shots together
as the credits roll
as the sky folds over


random noodle strings

the desire to know the Lord is burning
to be at peace with Him
to love Him more and more each day
to have Him catch you when you fall


THE WORD OF GOD SPEAKS
ALL WHO HAVE EARS, LISTEN.
ALL WHO HAVE EYES, SEE.

taken from the psalms, 90:5-6, 10, 12
Here David, a man after God's heart, said
"You(God) sweep men away in the sleep of death;
they are like the new grass of the morning-
though in the morning it springs up new,
by evening it is dry and withered.
the lenth of our days is seventy years- or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away. Teach us to number our days aright
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

in psalm 89:47-48, David cries
"Remember how fleeting is my life, for what futility you have created all men! What men can live and not see death or save himself from the power of the grave?"

In Isiah 40:6 we understand that
" All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field."

Then in Job 21:16 it is mentioned
"But their(the wealthy and rich and famous) prosperity is not in their own hands"
Job22:17&18
"They said to God 'leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?' YET IT WAS HE who filled their houses with good things, so i stand aloof from the counsel of the wicked."
Job 24:19
"As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow,
so the grave snatches away those who have sinned."
Job 24:22
"But God drags away the mighty by His power, though they become established, they have no assurance of life. He may let them rest in a feeling of security, but His eyes are on their ways, for a little while they are exalted (think huge/major rulers of nike, starbucks, trump with the dopey hair do heeehs etc.)and then they are gone, they are brought low and gathered up like all others, they are cut off like heads of grain."

Throughout Ecclesiastes, the author drones on about the meaningless of life,.. dont we all sometimes? well thank God Jesus fills this void halleluiah..
In Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
"Be happy, young man, while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for these things God will bring you to judgement. So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigour are meaningless."

In wrapping up, the conclusion of the wise writer from Ecclesiastes leaves us with..
this passage from Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
"FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN. FOR GOD WILL BRING EVERY DEED INTO JUDGEMENT, INCLUDING EVERY HIDDEN THING, WHETHER GOOD OR EVIL."
by the way, Jesus provides an abudance of life. if only we would believe and receive. How great is love is. It is uncomprehensible. i mean just imagine, God came to earth and lived as one of us . amazing or wad? that happened 2000 years ago.
'For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, Jesus to die on the cross for our sins so that whoever believes shall not die but have eternal life' John 3verse16

Image hosted by Photobucket.comthe world's notion of glory and glamour. is as nothing before God.

"for your thoughts are not my thoughts
and my ways are not my ways
says the Lord"
This verse goes something like that.
read this for a refreshing truth
Isiah 40:6 proclaims
"before Him all the nations are as nothing, they are regarded by Him as worthless and less than nothing."
