Spring Has Returned to The Big Country

Good intentions that never get accomplished are not worth much. 
Things that we love and cherish get pushed to the back of the closet. 
There they lie, forgotten until we finally have to clean that closet out and do something with all those things that we have neglected for so long.
One thing for sure, God’s intentions are timely and stand firm and true.
He keeps His promises and I am thankful that He is not like me with “good intentions” that never come to fruition.
Genesis 1:14(NASB)
“Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;”
I am thankful that God gave us the seasons of the years and the seasons of our lives.
This time of the year I am reminded of my Mother who loved the Spring so very much. 
She really struggled with Winter. 
She did not like Winter when everything was brown and dead.  
She came alive in Spring when she could be outside and breath the fresh air. 
She loved Spring so much that she left this world on April 7, 2007. 
Ironically, it was snowing that morning.
Spring brings a renewal to the earth and my soul.
 It reminds me that God is still in control.
Thank you Father for Spring and the reminder of your might and power.
Jeremiah 10:6 (NASB)
“There is none like You, O LORD;
 You are great,
 and great is Your name in might.” 
 Amen

God Makes the Dawn and the Sunset Shout for Joy

~ Shelia's Notes ~ 6 Comments

Psalm 65:5-8

By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, 
O God of our salvation,
You who are the trust of all the ends of the 
earth and of the farthest sea;
Who establishes the mountains by His strength,
Being girded with might;
Who stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the tumult of the peoples.
They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in Awe of Your signs;
You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.
God made this beautiful sunset shout for joy tonight.
It made my heart shout for joy to see it.
I stand in complete Awe.
Thank you All Mighty God.
What else needs to be said about a sunset like this.

The Devil Roars Around Like a Lion

~ Shelia's Notes ~ Leave a comment
1 Peter 5:6-11
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, 
that He may exalt you at the proper time,
casting all your anxiety on Him,
because He cares for you.
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert Your adversary, the devil, 
prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
But resist him, firm in your faith, 
knowing that the same experiences of suffering 
are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.
After you have suffered for a little while, 
the God of all grace, 
who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, 
will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
