So Tender is Our God

I have been reading the book of Isaiah the last few weeks and came to the last book and found such a beautiful word picture. It portrays the beautiful tenderness of our God. And how lovingly He takes care of us.

12 For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; then you will be nursed, you will be carried on her hip and trotted [lovingly bounced up and down] on her [God's maternal] knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 14 When you see this, your heart shall rejoice; your bones shall flourish like green and tender grass. And the [powerful] hand of the Lord shall be revealed and known to be with His servants, but His indignation [shown] to be against His enemies.

Isaiah 66:12-14 (AMP)

I can remember when my children were infants, and the bond that was formed as I nursed them. I would tenderly stroke their hair. I would hold and rock them in my arms. How I loved those moments. This is how God sees us. He is tenderly guiding our lives, with His mighty right hand. He surrounds us with His grace to comfort and uphold us.

Better than Botox

It is amazing how good it is to be a child of the most high God. We are blessed. Here is another beautiful promise.

5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. 6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. 7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil. 8 It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones.
Prov 3:5-8 (AMP)

Leaning entirely on God, and agreeing to do things and live life His way comes with a promise, Praise God. It is health and healing to our nerves, and sinews (the connective tissue) and even moistening to our bones. Trusting in God and worshiping God is health to our bone marrow. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. Stem cells are in our bone marrow. Trusting in God, giving Him worship and praise causes us to have healthy marrow and immune systems. Praise God! And our sinews are what keep our bodies young in appearance. Yes, it is better than botox. Praise God! The Word is alive. God sent His Word and healed us. Praise God! And did I mention, PRAISE GOD!

God's Garden

I am going to spend some time focusing on digging out some of the wonderful promises and amazing blessings that God has spoken to us in His Word. His Word is super positive and is the cure for anything that is ailing you.

10 And if you pour out that with which you sustain your own life for the hungry and satisfy the need of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in darkness, and your obscurity and gloom become like the noonday. 11 And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not. Isaiah 58:10-11 (AMP)Beautiful Garden Pictures, Images and Photos

Thank you Father that I am your garden that you tend. You water me and give me light. Even if there is a drought all around me, I shall still bare fruit. And even my health shall not fail, because my bones will be strong. And if my bones are strong, my immune system is strong. And if my immune system is strong my entire body is healthy and in balance. Praise and Glory, to You Lord!
