HOLY   GOD---OUR   ABBA   ("Daddy")   FATHER!!!!!!!!!

As I was walking through the woods in the Tennessee mountains, I passed a flowing stream, walked around two lakes, and then walked back through the quietly beautiful woods to the place where I was staying for the week---I was praising, thanking, and worshiping God for the woods, the stream, and the lakes, AND for the ability and freedom to walk---

I remembered my younger days, and I began to be acutely aware of God's "...faithfulness to His word and to His righteous character.." [please see II Timothy 2:13/Amplified Bible].

When I was a young man, I dreamed of owning a large amount of land---including forests, pastures, streams and lakes.

Because I grew up in a rural area, I have always loved woods,  pastures, streams,  and lakes, etc.

As I grew older, I realized that I would not have the financial ability to purchase large tracts of land.

As I prayed about these things, and about my dreams.....the Holy Spirit "...brought to my remembrance (John 14:26) Jesus' story about the lost ("Prodigal") Son and his brother (found in
Luke 15:11-32).   ***Please, read this story for yourself**

When the younger lost ("Prodigal") son returned home, the older brother, who had faithfully stayed at home and helped his father on the farm.....became very angry and upset that so MUCH had been given to the returning prodigal son, and also upset about the huge welcoming celebration for him.

In John 15:31 the father said to the older son: "Son, you are always with me,  and all that I have is yours."

In Psalm 24:1 God's word declares:  "The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein."

In recent years, as I prayed about my dreams of owning large plots of land.....God gave me understanding that all along He "...knew the plans that He had for me...plans for good, to give me a future and a hope.' (Jeremiah 29:11).  He helped me understand that He did not give me abilities to maintain and operate farm machinery, farms, lakes, and forests, etc.

Ephesians 3:20---"Now He (GOD!!!) is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think..."

Psalm 139:16---He "...wrote our every day down before the day we were born."


In His intimate, perfect love, He gave, and GIVES me the ability to study His Word, to learn His lessons, and to share them with anyone and everyone in the world (including you!!!) who will look them up on the internet at:  www.galilee.breeze.blogspot.com

AND He allows and enables me to drive, ride, walk, and thoroughly enjoy HIS beautiful creation (woods, pastures, streams, waterfalls, lakes, mountains).....and I do not have to spend time or money to maintain these things!  JESUS paid for it all!!!!!!!!!!!

I URGE YOU to seek God's face and His righteousness, and allow Him to reveal to you His intimate, perfect love for YOU!!!!!

He is our "Abba ("Daddy") Father!!!!!!!   (Romans 8:15)

ALL GLORY AND THANKSGIVING TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!! AMEN.
