Just a little encouragement from my time in Israel. Enjoy!!
"Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Cor. 5:17
"I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread." Psalm 37:25
"He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm." Mark 4:39
"He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun." Psalm 37:6
You don't have to be big and powerful to do great things for the Lord. Just "be". As the Jordan River here is not big, it just does what it does. That's all we need to do - just be and do who and what God created us to.
"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." Isaiah 1:18
Even when we feel dry spiritually, we can still lift your hands and voice in praise to God!
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. This is indeed a prayer that God will honor.
It's ok to be different. The yellow flower is different and stands out. So should our lives as believers stand out among everything else.
"There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death." Proverbs 14:12
"The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want." Psalm 23:1
