KNOW YOUR POSITION

Yes, this could be a sports analogy, especially baseball. In any case, this is what I'm talking about --

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us."
Ephesians 1:3-8a

"If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory."
Colossians 3:1-4

"Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, in His arm He will gather the lambs, and carry them in His bosom; He will gently lead the nursing ewes."
Isaiah 40:11

"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture."
John 10:9

"Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child rests against his mother, my soul is like a weaned child within me."
Psalm 131:2

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and My load is light."
Matthew 11:28-30

"Waiting on God, unceasing and entire dependence upon Him, is, in heaven and earth, the only true faith, the one unalterable and all-comprehensive expression for the true relationship to the ever-blessed One in whom we live."
Andrew Murray, Waiting on God

"The eyes of all look to Thee, and Thou dost give them their food in due time. Thou dost open Thy hand, and dost satisfy the desire of every living thing."
Psalm 145:15-16

"I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it...But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat; and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you." Psalm 81:10,16

"I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, and in His word do I hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than the watchmen for the morning; indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning."
Psalm 130:5-6

"My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him."
Psalm 62:5

It's all about Him. Our Shepherd, Provider, Sustainer, Redeemer, Friend and King.


LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW...POLLEN!?

If you're from the South, especially Atlanta, you know what I'm talking about. And if I could figure out how to post pictures on this blog (hint, hint, shameless request for tech help) I would prove to you that I'm not letting our porch "go to pot" so to speak. This afternoon I sprayed it off (everything was covered in that nasty yellow dust) with the hose and I guarantee you it will be covered tomorrow. Why do I even bother?
