THE LIVING GOD #SAT

#Riding on any #animal which has not been trained is just #looking for a #tumble! Being raised in Texas where rodeos made bareback riding an art and encouraged the young that they could do it. I remember my father telling our neighbors that “his” five yr. old daughter could stay on the young calf we had in the back lot a longer time than anyone. So he had his own kid’s rodeo that day with each ride timed to see which one lasted the longest before being bucked off. (Yes, his only child held on) I learned at a very young age, that riding on a beautiful horse in an arena or parade is very majestic not like my calf. When I read in Mark 11 about Jesus riding on a young colt into the streets of Jerusalem, I was and am still enthralled by His humility and majesty. “as Jesus had commanded (his two disciples) brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on him; and JESUS SAT upon the colt..many people spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees and and strayed them in the road..they went before and followed, cried, saying Hosanna; Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord!” Yet, we know Jesus took the greatest tumble/fall/death in just a few days after this triumphal entry not because of his shortcoming, but FOR the sin of man. Just think. “Psalm 68:4 ..Extol GOD that RIDES UPON THE HEAVENS by His name JAH and rejoice before Him. 33. LORD RIDES UPON THE HEAVENS which were of old; He sends out His voice and that a mighty voice ascribe the strength unto GOD” (YES, GOD’S ONLY SON WON THE VICTORY IN THE FINAL RACE OF DEATH)

The LIVING GOD #CLOTHED

#Seasonal #change is upon us as #Spring takes on a beautiful new #dressing. We look in our closet to see what clothes work and are in fittin’ form to be worn. All my family have a mutual joke about my wardrobe as they winkingly say, “It’s the uniform, again”! You see, I like an outfit that “feels good.” Yes, some of mine have been through the wash many times. I know my favorite clothes cannot last, because fabric wears away with time. What in the world does not degrade? Only our Lord and Savior! Psalm 93 tells us the Lord’s clothing is everlasting! You say, “What are you talking about?” I think all the writers for these super heroes in science fiction comics, series, and movies get their ideas on dress, powers, and superior intellect from the Bible. You see God is his own designer, manufacturer, writer, producer and director. v1.&2.”The Lord reigns, HE IS CLOTHED WITH MAJESTY; THE LORD IS CLOTHED WITH STRENGTH, wherewith HE HAS GIRDED HIMSELF; the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. His throne is established of old: thou are from EVERLASTING.” v3.4.5. “The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The LORD on high is MIGHTIER than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure: HOLINESS becomes thy house , O LORD FOR EVER.” Are you looking for a new spring outfit? Choose Jesus as your covering! “For all of you who were baptized into Christ have CLOTHED YOURSELF WITH CHRIST” Gal.3:27
