ICE & RAINBOWS. . . . . . . .LEAVES & FAITHFULNESS!!!!!!!!!
FEBRUARY 27, 2015 (Early morning).....Looking out the window at.........
The beautiful, brilliant sunlight (Son-light) being reflected by the ice crystals of the melted - (now frozen) snow-----The ice crystals - countless, numberless.....each reflecting all of the colors of the rainbow--------(more about the colors in a moment);
The rainbow is a sign of God's covenant-keeping/ God's promises/God's faithfulness!!! "The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature..."(Genesis 9:14-16) "If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself." (II Timothy 2:13)... (Also see 1 Kings 8:56).
.
The infinite "number" of ice crystals- (every single crystal is unique!)- reflecting the light of the sun (Son )---is in itself a "reflection" of the glory that our Holy God is worthy to receive!!!!!!!
He is "...worthy...to receive ALL the wisdom, might, riches, glory, honor, splendor, blessing, ...praise...worship...adoration...thanksgiving...reverence...obedience...and love"........forever!!!!!!!
(Revelation 4:11; 5:12; I Peter 4:11; and Genesis 1:1 - Revelation 22:21)
The patches of snow/ice crystals are framed by expanses of leaves on the ground. All of the leaves on the ground, plus all of the leaves that God puts on the trees, bushes, etc. every year--------Let's allow every leaf that we see... be a reminder to us of God's promise to each one of us: "I will never leave you nor forsake you."!!! (Hebrews 13:5)
Back to the light reflected by the ice crystals.....viewed from slightly different angles, the light does contain all of the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet). [The sign of God, His covenant].
O Holy God!!! In Your righteousness, Your grace, Your omnipotence, in the transcendant beauty of Your infinite, and intimate love, you will "...always lead us in triumph"!!! (II Cor. 2:14)
And Your Holy Son, Jesus Christ, is the "Yes" to every promise of God!!! (II Corinthians 1:20)
Now there will be times when we feel forsaken; but we must not allow our emotions or feelings to rule our lives, for emotions and feelings are often not consistent with the truth.
To summarize........as long as the sun rises, God's Son Jesus Christ is always with us, and always He is for us. (Mathew 28:20) Wherever we are-----as long as we CONTINUE to praise Him and worship Him and thank Him, as we CONTINUE to ask Him and trust Him and obey Him, then His "light and truth..." will lead us. (Psalm 43:3)
JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF DECLARES:
"I am the light". (John 8:12)
"I am the way, the truth, and the life." (John 14:6)
"My words will no means pass away."(Matthew 24:35)
GOD'S WORD DECLARES:
Jesus Christ is the "Yes" answer to every promise of God. (II Cor. 1:20)
Jesus Christ is "...the same yesterday, today, and forever". (Hebrews 13:8)
"I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5)
"Therefore He (Jesus Christ) is able to save to the uttermost (forever) those who come to God through Him..."!!!!!!!!! (Hebrews 7:25)
AMEN!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!
PRAISE YOU O HOLY LORD JESUS!!!
PRAISE YOU O HOLY GOD!!!
