God's Word..and Strawberries:)

"God's Word is better than a diamond, better than a diamond set between emeralds. You'll like it better than strawberries in spring, better than red, ripe strawberries." Psalm 19:10msg

I had opened up to Psalm 18 to look for a certain verse that Bobbye and I had discussed earlier this evening, and as my Bible lay open on my bed while I was cleaning the fan caught the pages and flipped it to Psalm 19 and I happen to look down and that verse caught my eye..I've never read anything like that before..it seemed so alive to me..so then I had to keep reading:)

v)11-14
"There's more: God's Word warns us of danger and directs us to hidden treasure. Otherwise how will we find our way? or know when we play the fool? Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh! Keep me from stupid sins, from thinking I can take YOUR WORK; Then I can start this day sun-washed, scrubbed clean of the grime of sin. These are the words in my mouth; these are what I chew on and pray. Accept them when I place them on the morning altar, O God, my Altar-Rock, God, Priest-of-My-Altar."

So then I had to call Bobbye and share the little treasure I just found. As I read to her what I posted above I flipped backwards and glanced at the beginning of the chapter and it looked just as stellar as the rest so I had to read it..

v)1-9
"God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.

God makes a huge dome for the sun- a superdome! The morning sun's a new husband leaping from his honeymoon bed, The daybreaking sun an athlete racing to the tape.

That's how God's Word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, Melting ice, scorching deserts warming hearts to faith.

The revelation of God is whole
and pulls our lives together.
The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road.
The life-maps of God are right,
showing the way to joy.
The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes.
God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold,
with a lifetime guarantee."

I can't help but read most of this scripture and giggle..grinning from ear to ear because seriously how COOL is the God we serve!! Stop acting like He is boring like religion is..He's not religion..He's supreme and full of one on one relationships..and He can be anywhere He wants at ALL times..talk about a multi-tasker!
I love Him! I'm so thankful I got to celebrate this scripture with a sweet friend tonight! Iron will always sharpen iron and I'm so grateful that I have some good iron in my life!

Hold onto truth dear children! He is coming for us and that excites me! Please pray for my college ministry this weekend we are going to an orphanage in Hot Springs to minister and love on some sweet kiddos that deserve to feel like they are seated in high places (which they are)! I'm gonna want to bring several home with me I'm sure..but it's not time for that yet..

God is good people! Rejoice and be glad in Him! He loves you..and He hasn't forgotton you..chase after His glory! He leads us to treasure remember!

Please feel free to pause my playlist and listen to this song! It is awesome and completely describes how I am feeling after reading such a STUNNING Scripture!! :) Getcha worship on!!

Sister Love.

My sister and I on the drive home from Tyler on Saturday! It was the start of a night that was very life changing for Michaela. The Lord started calling her away from some things so that He can release her into some better things. I'm proud of her. Being 14 isn't always a walk in the park in the generation we live in.. and to watch her make decisions that will help her further the Kingdom later on is so awesome! Keep her in your prayers!
