SHELTERED FROM THE STORMS

 

It hasn’t been that long ago that our town suffered a tremendous blow from tornados & now they ‘ve popped their ugly little heads back up with devastation & death all around surrounding areas, we pray for peace & recovery for those in need as well as give him praise for keeping his hand on our families

as winds are blowing,trees are crackling,sounds of heavy rain along with sirens going off I was reminded of another storm long ago with a man on board whom when awaken simply said peace be still & turned to those who were sore afraid & asked why are ye so fearful, how is it that ye have no faith?

and there arose a great storm of wind and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full,and he was in the hinder part of the ship asleep on a pillow and they awake him and say unto him Master careest thou not that we perish? And he arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea peace be still and the wind ceased and there was a great calm,and he said unto them why are ye so fearful?how is it that ye have no faith? (Matt.4:37-40)

It was Peter’s faith that allowed him to walk on the water,it was when his fear overtook his faith that he began to sink, don’t let fear overtake your  faith,keep your eyes on Jesus and you will hear that still small voice saying shhhhhh peace be still

ARE YOU AN APPLE?

 

appels17

(Deut.32:10) tells us that we are the apple of his eye

he found him in a desert land in the waste howling wilderness he led him about,he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye

( Prov. 7:2) says keep my commandments and live in my law as the apple of thine eye

the phrase apple of his eye refers to something or someone who is very precious or dear, if we are the apple of his eye then we are precious to him, he hides us under the shadow of his wings, Zech.2 tells us if anyone or anything touches us thy have touched the apple of his eye, TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED! (Ps 105;25).

if we love him then we will want to keep his commandments

(John 14:23 )Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him.

if you’ve believed and excepted Jesus as your Lord and savior then you are the apple of his eye, you are special to him, you are his pride and joy

so the next time you see an apple remind yourself

“I am the apple of his eye”

JESUS LOVES ME

 

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.

Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Did you grow up learning that sweet little songs as a child? How sweet are the words JESUS LOVES ME! friend did you know that Jesus loves you? no matter what we’ve done or where we’ve been, Jesus loves us? How can we be sure that he loves us? because the Bible tells us so, how much does he love us? enough to die for us so that we might go free
