Dear Readers,

We are really praying for you in Jesus Name!  I will appreciate your prayers in Jesus Name as well.  We all need each others fervent prayers in Jesus Name!  And, never forget, in Jesus Name!

As I look out my window right now, I see the golden yellow on the Maple tree that has grown from a wee tree we planted many years ago; hoping for a great climbing tree for our children, that it has now grown in to a beautiful tree that would hold a climber!

I also see a gentle glow of red blended with a softer yellow edging the woods & a deeper purple in our mid-yard flower bed, just making our Dogwood tree’s great reveal!  I didn’t even know this is the color they turn!  And, also on this note of I didn’t even know what God has done; Ironically we had a warm front blow in last night that sounded like Spring, but at this time of the year, I was convinced it must have been a cold front that it sounded like winter!

It is 66 Degrees this morning; when last night I was sure it would be cold when we awoke!  So, as we dive into this devotion Today, what is it like where you live?  What great things can you see?  What has amazed you today; that you thought you knew, but discovered something NEW?  And what can you learn today that you never knew?  It is an amazing brand new day to begin … like a child to venture in God’s Creation and notice God’s Power and Creativity & LOVE that He has for us!  It is God, whom is OVER all HE has Created!

Yet, are we worshiping our Living God as True Worshipers?  Are we Praising God in Jesus Name?  Will you join me in lifting up the Name of Jesus?  Will you join me in praying for all who come here to read this in Jesus Name?  Will you pray for me; and my family in Jesus Name?  We will be praying for you in Jesus Name!

Welcome Always; & I always hope this is a blessing to you in the Name of Jesus!

Faced with some challenges yesterday, I looked down & saw this beautiful leaf! I picked it up, admired it, gently placed it in my pocket & later took this picture in front of a glass fiery furnace!

This morning I am reminded of the three Hebrew boys!

Do you remember what they said?

Read all about their faith in Daniel Chapter 3!
The 3 Hebrew boys responded, we will not bow down to worship your idol, KJV; How would you have responded? How do we respond to the world today?

Isaiah 2:8 Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of …

Bible Hub › Isaiah

Their land has also been filled with idols; They worship the work of their hands, That which their fingers have made.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego Refuse to Worship an Idol – King … 11 Your order said that whoever doesn’t bow down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace … No other god can rescue like this. …

Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up?

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty.

BUT EVEN IF HE DOESN’T, WE WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO YOU, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”

Nebuchadnezzar WAS SO FURIOUS with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his FACE became DISTORTED WITH RAGE. He commanded that the furnace be heated SEVEN TIMES HOTTER than usual.

BUT God was with the True Worshipers!!!

“Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god !”
Daniel 3:14‭, ‬16‭-‬19, ‬25 NLT

READ ALL ABOUT IT!
We don’t worship God because we have to! We are free to worship God because we have the King!

Thank you JESUS! GOD has SO LOVED US that He has SHINED HIS FACE of Glory on us to see What true love is!

Do you want to experience more fullness in being blessed in Jesus Name?  Read this Entire Chapter!  And, talk to someone who loves the Lord as their Lord about what you come to understand!  It is really important that we study the Bible together, so we really hear what God wants us to know! That way, we don’t take God’s Word and make it fit into human standards.  (2 Co 4:6)

True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life.
Proverbs 22:4 NLT
