Good morning to all on this glorious day that the Lord has Made. Waine and I are in Atlanta this weekend and it has been a glorious weekend. The temperatures have been in the 70's and as I write this blog my beloved it cleaning our Koi pond. Have to love a man who cleans you Koi pond on a Sunday. So many memories in this home; Waine remarks that I have every thing just the way I want it and that is true.
I am continuing my journey in Jeremiah 47 verses 1-7, "This is the Word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza: This is what the Lord says: See how the waters are rising in the north; they will become an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and everything in it, the towns and those who live in them. The people will cry out;
all who dwell in the land will wail at the sound of the hooves of galloping steeds, at the noise of enemy chariots and the rumble of their wheels. Parents will not turn to help their children; their hands will hang limp. For the day has come to destroy all the Philistines and to remove all survivors who could help Tyre and Sidon. The Lord is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor. Gaza will shave her head in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. You remnant on the plain, how long will you cut yourselves? Alas, sword of the Lord, how long till you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still. But how can it rest when the Lord has commanded it, when He has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coast?" Amen and may the Lord add a blessing to the reading and hearing of His Word.

Wow! One of the wonderful things about God is that He keeps His Word 100% of the time. He promised Abraham that his seed would become a mighty nation and that no nation that opposed them would be spared. And thus the destruction of the Philistines at the hands of Egypt another enemy of Israel. God's plan of action is coming forth even as He disciplines the tribe of Judah. God is ensuring the future of Judah because this is the tribe from whence Christ will arrive so even though the Israelites are now in captivity in Egypt, God is making a way! Even with us, God's unchanging hand never waivers. We may waiver but God's promises never waiver. Remember Christ died for us while we were SINNERS so whatever is going on in your life that you think is blocking you from the Love of God, rebuke it and tell Satan that he is a liar because nothing can keep you from the love of God. Hallelujah! God is such a powerful and loving God; ever when we stray He still loves us and will welcome us back. He loves us so much that He died for our sins. Remember this lesson when you are frustrated this week. God's plan for your life is still in play!
Now may the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
