God's Promises As We Walk with Him

Good morning glories,
Thank you so much for your emails, there like little gifts that I
unwrap and am always blessed and encouraged!!!

I start my chemo tomorrow (Wed.) at 1:00...these last few weeks have
definitely been growing and stretching pains of faith. God, rich in
mercy and grace, continues to be the my Teacher and my Great Shepherd.

He encourages me in Ps. 84:5 "How blessed is the man whose strength
is in Thee; in whose heart are the highways to Zion! Passing thru the
valley of Baca (weeping) they make it a spring. The early rains also
covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength."

In Eccl. it tells us that God "has put eternity in our hearts". I
believe that is the highway to Zion! As we are all on our journey to
Zion, we were created for eternity. It is inevitable that we will
pass thru the valley of weeping...many saints are passing thru with
hotter fires than mine. What will we make of our valley? If your in
the valley, together let's make it a spring.

Jer. 31:9 "With weeping they shall come, and by supplication I will
lead them; I will make them walk by streams of waters, on a straight
path in which they shall not stumble, For I am a Father to Israel"

Ps. 107:35 "He changes a wilderness into a pool of water, and a dry
land into springs of water"

Is. 35:6-8 "...for waters will break forth in the wilderness and
streams in the desert and the scorched land will become a pool, and
the thirsty ground springs of water."

Look at our promises!!! If we will walk in obedience and listen to
what He has promised, He will lead us and cause our "valley of
weeping" into a fountain. An abundant supply of fresh living water
that will bring strength, joy and fulfillment! I love that!!! I
want that!!! I want to participate in HIs promises so that He will
manifest His Name according to His Word (Ps. 138) that I may know
HIm, believe and understand that He is God and apart from His there
is no other Savior (Is. 43:10) In doing this He will be glorified and
we will be sanctified! How awesome!!!!

The Lord has these truths in front of us to not only know them and
love them, but live them.

Oh, calling all saints in the fire, let's live them! As my sweet Aunt
Jamie told me, 'Sherri, don't just make a spring but a well in the
valley for others who will come later."
Let's dig out truths of God Word that will sustain and renew. Truths
that we can experience only to bring God great glory...

Let all our hearts unite as we read..."Thy lovingkindness, O LORD,
extends to the heavens, Thy faithfulness reaches to the skies. Thy
righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are like a
great deep. O LORD, Thou preservest man and beast. How precious is
Thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the
shadow of Thy wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Thy
house; and Thou dost give them to drink of the river of Thy
delights; For with Thee is the fountain of life." Ps. 36:5-9


My sweet friend, Amy, set me up a
blog..."blessingsofthefire.blogspot.com". Join me in journaling about
the truths of God that we dig up.

May our lives celebrate Him!
With a heart full of love and graditude,
sherri
