The
Time of The Singing of Birds.
( A message of Joy to come)
by
Jacky Ball
There will be joy in all things
Winter will die at last
The time of the glorious singing of birds
Will certainly come to pass
The valleys and hills will rejoice
Flowing as carpets of peace
The flowers will dance to the
Lord their God
A dance that will never cease
In the shade of the lush green trees
Near the heart of the great I Am
with the sun's smile
and the strumming of bees
The lion will lie down by the lamb
To the sound of a heavenly harp
The people of God will sing
Creation will shout its jubilant praise
And no more suffering!
"For
lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.The flowers appear
on the earth;
The time of singing has come,…"
(Song of Solomon 2:11-12)

The Lord
is saying.....Do not be afraid, have I not said I will not
leave you nor forsake you. I have seen your worried look and
your intensity as you are thinking about your problem. Do
you not know that I have gone before you and I have dealt
already with this. Praise me and rejoice and see the mighty
miracle I am working in the background. And do not fret but
know that I am almighty and all powerful and there is nothing
too hard for me.
Nothing
is impossible to God?
Gen
18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD?
Only
two things are impossible where God is concerned. It is impossible
for Him to lie and secondly it is impossible to please Him
without faith.
Num
13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said,
Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able
to overcome it.
God
loves impossible situations. These are the times that He is
looking with great anticipation to see if our reaction is
one of trust. The bigger the mountain the more glory He gets.
When the Israelites went to spy out the promised land it
seemed that they were grasshoppers in the sight of the giants
. Well!
that was as far as the majority of them were concerned. However,
two of them, Caleb and Joshua had a different spirit altogether.
They viewed the giants with great excitement. Imagine seeing
things in this way..... the bigger the problem.....the greater
the excitement. They knew that God could never let them down.
Perhaps all they were interested in was how He would
defeat their foes, not if He would.
To
get faith we need to receive a word from God. When we know
what God is saying, we have something to hang our faith on.
Then we can know for certain that God will not go back on
His promise.
Faith
comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
Lord please give us that type of faith to know that you will
never, never, never let us down and to view our problems as
great opportunities to see you glorified. and to see that
the bigger the problem the greater the testimony.

Comments: This is an authentic photograph -- or
rather, composite of photos -- taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope
and at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona. The image
was featured on NASA's Website as an Astronomy Picture of the Day
in May 2003 and thereafter posted on a number of Websites under
the title "The Eye of God" (though I have found no evidence
that NASA has ever referred to it as such). The awe-inspiring image
has also been featured on magazine covers and in articles about
space imagery.
What it actually depicts is the so-called Helix Nebula, described
by astronomers as "a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases."
At its center is dying star which has ejected masses of dust and
gas to form tentacle-like filaments stretching toward an outer rim
composed of the same material. Our own sun may look like this in
several billion years.
