TODAY'S BIBLE READING!

Psalm 19 King James Version (KJV)

19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

A FEBRUARY MORNING!



A FEBRUARY MORNING!
ON THIS SECOND DAY OF FEBRUARY 2020,
GROUND HOG DAY IS A CLOUDY DULL DAY,
A DAY WITH SNOW FLURRIES FLUTTERING DOWN,
NOT MAKING A SOUND,
WHEN THEY LAND ON THE SNOW COVERED GROUND.
THE SAYING GOES WHEN THE GROUND HOG,
SEES IT'S SHADOW WE USE HALF OUR MEAT,
 AND HALF THE HAY, MEANING A SHORTER  WINTER;
AS I SEE IT THERE WILL BE SIX WEEKS LEFT,
WHETHER THE GROUND HOG SEES IT'S SHADOW OR NOT.
LET'S BE HAPPY EVERYDAY AS WE WAIT FOR SPRING,
LOOKING FORWARD FOR EASTER, WHEN GOD'S CREATION,
COMES TO LIFE FROM IT'S RESTING PERIOD,
WHEN ALL NATURE SEEMS TO SING WITH THE SOUND,
THE SOUND OF SONG BIRDS SING EVERYWHERE,
WAKE UP YOU SLEEPY HEADS, IT'S SPRING, IT'S SPRING.
EASTER IS THE TIME OF CELEBRATION FOR THE SAINTS,
WE SING PRAISES OF HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION,
FOR HIS VICTORY OVER SIN, DEATH AND THE ETERNAL,
ETERNAL PLACE OF TORMENT FOR EVER AND EVER.
GOD HAS EVERYTHING IN HIS HANDS SO REJOICE,
YES, REJOICE THAT CHRIST CAME AND HE DIED AND AROSE,
AROSE IN TO HEAVEN SO ONE DAY WE COULD JOIN HIM THERE,
WHAT A GLORIOUS VICTORY WE HAVE TO CLAIM,
WHEN WE ASK HIM FOR SALVATION IN JESUS NAME!
