My Eyes Are Upon You



My Eyes Are Upon You 

Wars and rumors of wars

I hear the battle coming...

Right over the horizon 
of my life

Wait...

God has rewarded me and given me
possession of the land 

And who is this...

Coming to overthrow me

O my God, will you not judge them

For I have no power against this great multitude that is coming against me
nor do I know what to do...

But my eyes are upon you

If disaster comes upon me
sword
judgement
pestilence
famine

I will stand before your temple
in your presence..

I will cry out to you
in my affliction

 And you will hear 
and save

When all of Judah stood before the Lord
in the days of King Jehoshaphat 

...with their little ones, their wives,
and their children

The Spirit of the Lord came
on one called Jahaziel...

And he said

"Listen all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem
and you, King Jehoshaphat!
Thus says the Lord to you
'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude
for the battle is not yours, 
but God's...

'You will not need to fight in this battle
Position yourselves
Stand still
And see the salvation of the Lord
Who is with you,..."

Are you battling something that doesn't seem
to be moving out of the way?

It just might be the Lord's battle 
and not yours

"Are you not our God, who drove out 
the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel,..."

Yes

"Who is this King of glory
The Lord strong and mighty, 
The Lord mighty in battle."

Sometimes all that is needed
Is His presence

Amen and Amen!

Blessings, Terry

A Threatening Storm

Image
  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when w...

Light in the Darkness

Image
I grew up thinking holiness was reserved for priests and nuns. I see the danger of this thinking is that we conform more and more to the world because holiness is unattainable; or not even considered as a goal to be desired or even thought about. However the opposite is true in God's word. "..Be holy, for I am holy" First Peter 1:16. So I have to conclude it is possible. How do we become holy? Let's read what Peter had to say... beginning in   1Peter 1:13-16  "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope freely upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lust, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy for I am holy."  I see the world getting darker and darker and yet the contrast between light (holiness) and darkness (the...

The Miracle and Gift

Image
  The Miracle and Gift Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time... Bethlehem Joseph and Mary Shepherds Angels and more angels Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place. Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census, Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets. Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field  Shepherds hastened off to see Let's hear Luke's account... "An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a   concert began ! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.  Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of...
