UNTO THE HILLS

PLEASE BE SURE TO JOIN AMYDEANNE @ The 160 Acre Woods for more
WORD FILLED WEDNESDAY and other inspirational participants.

Graphic from Phil Ware chosen from Heartlight.com

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

If you saw my post from December 2nd...you will understand my choice of this scripture but perhaps today, you too need to LIFT UP YOUR EYES UNTO THE HILLS & draw from where Our Constant Faithful Help comes from and TAKE OUR EYES off any problem or burden or heartache or care BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST cares for YOU & me and HE is TRUE to HIS WORD which avails much, no matter what our circumstance, HE is BIGGER! Lift up your eyes with a praise & thanks! Be sure to visit Tammy (&Tim)@ My Heart...His Words & offer your condolences & prayers...Nick, her 13 yo. son has joined the angels in heaven. BE ENCOURAGED & ENCOURAGING to OTHERS!

Fitting verse and picture.

I love this verse, and this is one that I even know the origin of!! The Psalmist is in need of help--he looks up into the hills. Who is up in those hills?

The idol worshippers--followers of Baal--and he could chose to go up into the hills and have them offer up a sacrifice for him.

Is this where he wants to seek his help? Is this where his help is going to come from?

No, his help comes from the Lord--the creator of all things and the Lord is where he turns and where we turn.

As you can see, I really need that study Bible we talked about!! I love looking in the background of verses--finding out and studying upon them.

God is bigger and more powerful than any of us can even begin to understand. And the best comfort of all--when we feel that things are beyond us, spinning out of control--God has us and whatever situation we are facing right there in His hands. What a peaceful comfort.

"MY IDENTITY IN CHRIST"

WHO I AM IN CHRIST
THROUGH HIS EYES ... and HIS WORD

Declare these daily! Claim & believe them for they are written in His Love letter to you (the part in parentheses comes from the Bible).

Renamed by me as "The Tree" instead of "The Bell" because I did not have the shape of the bell but a tree when I finished.


THE
'TREE'
I KNOW
WHO I AM

I am God's child (John 1:12)

I am Christ's friend (John 15:15)

I am united with the Lord(1 Cor. 6:17)

I am bought with a price(1 Cor. 6:19-20)

I am a saint (set apart for God). (Eph. 1:1)

I am a personal witness of Christ. (Acts 1:8)

I am the salt & light of the earth (Matt.5:13-14)

I am a member of the body of Christ(1 Cor 12:27)

I am free forever from condemnation ( Rom. 8: 1-2)

I am a citizen of Heaven. I am significant ( Phil.3:20)

I am free from any charge against me (Rom. 8:31 -34)

I am a minister of reconciliation for God(2 Cor.5:17-21)

I have access to God through the Holy Spirit (Eph. 2:18)

I am seated with Christ in the heavenly realms (Eph. 2:6)

I cannot be separated from the love of God( Rom.8:35-39)

I am established, anointed, sealed by God (2 Cor.1:21-22)

I am assured all things work together for good (Rom. 8: 28)

I have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit (John 15:16 )

I may approach God with freedom and confidence (Eph. 3: 12 )

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil. 4:13)

I am the branch of the true vine, a channel of His life (John 15: 1-5)

I am God's temple (1 Cor. 3: 16 ). I am complete in Christ (Col. 2: 10)

*I am hidden with Christ in God (Col. 3:3). I have been justified

(Romans 5:1) I am God's co-worker (1 Cor.. 3:9; 2 Cor 6:1).

I am God's workmanship(Eph. 2:10 ) I am confident

that the good works God has begun in me

will be perfected.(Phil 1: 5)

I have been redeemed

and forgiven (Col. 1:14).

I have been adopted

as God's child*

(Eph 1:5)

I am rooted

and established

in Christ

(Eph 3:17)

I belong

to God

Do you

know

who you are!?


[this is suppose to be in the shape of a bell but the last part* did not fit that way, 2 verses together from star to star, to see it correctly go here.

When I was done the best I could form it, it looked more like a tree & I added the last verse above & the 3 verses below, for the TREE, whereas usually it tells you to "keep this bell ringing -pass it on"]


I will say,

"Keep this TREE planted & growing,

rooted & established in Christ"

Pass it on


The fruit of the righteous is a TREE of LIFE

and s/he who wins souls is wise.

Proverbs 11:30


BE LIKE THIS!


S/He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever s/he does prospers.

Psalm 1:3


And I pray that YOU, being rooted and established in love,

may have power, together with all believers, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love

that surpasses knowledge that YOU may be filled to the measure of all

fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:17b (NIV) emphasis mine



"The LORD bless you and keep you;

the LORD make His face shine upon you

and be gracious to you;

the LORD turn His face toward you and give you peace.."

Numbers 6:24-26


"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and

He will direct your path." (Proverbs 3:5,6)

DO YOU KNOW JESUS?

I believe that my MAZES, MESSES, & MIRACLES ...aMAZING GRACE would not be complete without offering this GREAT opportunity to MEET my BEST FRIEND FOREVER: Jesus Christ.
I feel that the best way is to start with Proverbs 31 Ministry: Just Click and be linked
http://proverbs31.gospelcom.net/doyouknowJesus/doYouKnowJesus.php
Conoces Jesucristo o quieres conocerlo (
con un clic aqui para saber como y conocerlo mejor!!!) Espanol-Proverbios 31.

If you knew Jesus, but gave up your faith or following Him, perhaps it's time to restart your life. He's waiting with open arms.

If you never knew Him as Lord and Savior, please accept my invitation, and follow the steps Proverbs 31 suggests.

If you've struggled throughout your life, or just decided that you can do it on your own, surrender and try Jesus, it's never too late!
