The Savage Five

I was thinking about tomatoes this morning. It seems that everywhere I turn right now, there is someone giving away tomatoes. Then I was thinking about someone who has a couple of tomato plants, but they are still green. He doesn't think they are going to turn and even if they do, he isn't sure they are going to be good. Its because he planted the seeds, but then wasn't around to water and take care of them during the growing season. Now, at harvest time, there won't be a harvest, or at most a very sparse one. It could have been wonderful. This makes me think of a couple of things. First of all, I am so thankful that when God plants seeds in us, He takes the time to develop and grow them into a beautiful harvest. He never leaves us alone. He is with us every step of the way giving us exactly what we need! He cares enough to make sure His carefully planted seeds will mature into the wonderful people He created us to be! How awesome is He that He cares t...

Psalm 2:2-4 (New International Version) 2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One. a] 3 "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters." 4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. This article was titled " The Laugh of Faith ". It says, When God's enemies gather together against Him, He sits in heaven and laughs. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End (Rev 1:8) , so He already knows how things are going to turn out. If we are being led by God's Spirit, we can laugh also. We spend too much time in our thoughts looking at what is taking place now instead of looking at the finish line. Think of all the other things God has done for you. You had to wait for them also. He is faithful; He will do what He has promised. You may have to wait for a season, but if you ...

For some time now I have been privileged to witness many radical acts of God in the lives around me. As I read in the Psalms this morning I came across Psalm 45 1 My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever. 3 Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty. 4 And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things. 5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies; The peoples fall under You. 6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God,...

Psalm 47:1-3 (New King James Version) To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. 1 Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph! 2 For the LORD Most High is awesome; He is a great King over all the earth. 3 He will subdue the peoples under us, And the nations under our feet.

Psalm 66:2-4 (New King James Version) 2 Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious. 3 Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. 4 All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah
