Keeping our eyes on HIM :-)

 
shortbread I made for the F.M. (Farmer's Mkt.) 


I was just thinking this week of how we get wrapped up in our day to day lives, school, work, swimming lessons, photography, music practice, that sometimes we forget to think about our Savior, Jesus Christ.

If we took a few moments each day to stop and reflect on His saving grace towards us and the great, terrible price he paid for our salvation from sin.... it would cause us to fall to our knees in humble gratitude.

May we praise the Savior, ye who know Him!

  1. Praise the Savior, ye who know Him!
    Who can tell how much we owe Him?
    Gladly let us render to Him
      All we are and have.
  2. Jesus is the name that charms us;
    He for conflicts fits and arms us;
    Nothing moves and nothing harms us
      When we trust in Him.
  3. Trust in Him, ye saints, forever;
    He is faithful, changing never;
    Neither force nor guile can sever
      Those He loves from Him.
  4. Keep us, Lord, oh, keep us cleaving
    To Thyself and still believing,
    Till the hour of Thy receiving
      The victorious Bride.
  5. Then we shall be where we would be;
    Then we shall be what we should be;
    Things which are not now, nor could be,
      Then shall be our own.

He sells "ugly tomatoes" and "ugly cucumbers" because he can't grow a pretty tomato, he said.   :-)

Keeping our eyes focused on the Savior, is so needful!

Walking with Christ

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” John 6: 66-67 What does it mean to walk with Christ? I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...

Called, Chosen and Faithful

 “...and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14b) The saints are called, chosen and faithful. It makes me think of Revelation chapter 19:11, where Christ is described as Faithful and True. Amazing to think that we will also share this attribute of being faithful to Him! We are called to follow Him and serve Him. Chosen, His Bride, who will be dressed in fine linen, robes of righteousness.  (Revelation 19:8)  “And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.”  Revelation 22:3-4  Such encouraging words to meditate on! One day the curse of sin will be broken, and we shall serve at the throne of God and the Lamb.  We will see His beautiful face, the One whom we hid our faces from (Isaiah 53:3) We will see Him and...
