Even the Lord, the God of hosts,
The Lord is His name.
Therefore, return to your God,
Observe kindness and justice,
And wait for your God continually.

Pay Taxes
For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing. Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. — Romans 13:6-7
Verse of the day for the United States. Thanks to BibleGateway.com for the chuckle I got from reading this this morning.
I am grateful for a God who supplies my needs no matter the need nor the absent mindedness of my husband and myself. We had changed our deductions, which was supposed to be for a short period of time, but forgot to change it back. The realization that all of 2014 deductions were way, I mean way, too low came when we did tax preparation this year.
Needless to say we had to “pay tax to whom tax is due”. My gracious, awesome God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) supplied that need. And the great thing is that we still met our monetary obligations, tithe, and we’re still eating.
Do you know God? If you do you are truly blessed. If you don’t, I suggest you seek Him through His Word, the Bible. Ask someone you know, who has this same awesome, wonderful God, to tell you about Jesus and what He has done for you. You will not regret knowing Him.

Plow, Sow, Cultivate, Reap
You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice,
You have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors, — Hosea 10:13

The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength. — Psalm 33:16

Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. — Psalm 37:3

A Moment in the Garden
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. — Genesis 2:1
The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. — Genesis 2:8
Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers. — Genesis 4:10
What a perfect ending to a week of vacation. What a perfect beginning to a new week. I woke up this morning and as I stepped out onto my porch the sun was just beginning to rise, the brook behind my house was running after the rainstorm last night, and the birds were just singing praises to the Lord. For a moment everything was right with the world. (I actually recorded a minute and 40 seconds of listening to all the beautiful sounds of creation but I unfortunately don’t know how to get that on to this website).
I thank God today for His beautiful creation and for electronics that allow me, at any time, to go back to the garden and know the tranquility, peace, contentment and presence of God, even if it is only for a moment.
I thank God for making His presence known to me this new day. May you experience a moment in the Garden and know the God who created it.

View Righteousness, Seek The Lord

Listen To The Word
Listen to the word of the Lord, O sons of Israel,
For the Lord has a case against the inhabitants of the land,
Because there is no faithfulness (truth) or kindness (loyalty)
Or knowledge of God in the land. — Hosea 4:1
Does the Lord have a case against you?

Jesus, The Only True God
Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me!
Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me!
I would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me.
And they do not cry to Me from their heart
When they wail on their beds;
For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves,
They turn away from Me.
Although I trained and strengthened their arms,
Yet they devise evil against Me.
They turn, but not upward,
They are like a deceitful bow;
Their princes will fall by the sword
Because of the insolence of their tongue.
This will be their derision in the land of Egypt. — Hosea 7:13-16
“Woe to them”. Wake up America, world! We as a nation have strayed from our God. Now is the time for repentance and surrender. Turn from our wicked ways. Surrender our lives to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit change us.
Is your heart right with God? Then pray, crying from your heart, for our nation, our leaders, our neighbor, our brothers and sisters. We are in a battle. Share Jesus so others can join the battle before it’s too late and we face destruction.
America and the world need Jesus — the only true God.
