The High Place, I’ll Bring Down

Image result for stone wall fortress gate

I will make the darkness light before you,
What is wrong Iā€™ll make it right before you,
All your battles I will fight before you,
And the high place Iā€™ll bring down.

When you walk by the way Iā€™ll lead you,
On the fatness of the land Iā€™ll feed you,
And a mansion in the sky Iā€™ll deed you,
And the high place Iā€™ll bring down.

With an everlasting love Iā€™ll love you,
Though with trials deep and sore Iā€™ll prove you,
But thereā€™s nothing that can hurt or move you,
And the high place Iā€™ll bring down.

Although satan in his rage would tear you,
And with all his scheming arts would snare you,
Even down to your old age Iā€™ll bear you,
And the high place Iā€™ll bring down.

I will make the darkness light before you,
I will make the crooked straight before you,
I will spread My wings protecting oā€™er you,
“And the high place Iā€™ll bring down.”

Charles P. Jones

“…I will make the darkness light before them.” Ā Isaiah 42:16

No Matter What Lies Ahead

“Faith says that no matter what lies ahead of me…God is already there.”

No Weapon

No weapon formed against me
Shall prosper, it won’t work.

GOD will do what He said He will do
He will stand by His Word, He will come through

No weapon formed against me
shall prosper, it won’t work.

GOD will do what he said
He will do, He’s not a man ,that He should lie

He will come through

Oh, I won’t be afraid of the arrows by day,
From the hand of my enemy.
I will stand my ground with the LORD on my side
For the snares they have set will not succeed.

No weapon formed against me
Shall prosper, it won’t work.

Isaiah 54:17

I’m Just Sayin’

“If GodĀ beĀ for us, whoĀ can beĀ against us?”

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Ā Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 8:28 and 38

If It Had Not Been…

“IfĀ it hadĀ notĀ beenĀ the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

IfĀ it hadĀ notĀ beenĀ the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

BlessedĀ beĀ the LORD, who hath not given usĀ asĀ a prey to their teeth.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Our helpĀ isĀ in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

Psalm 124

The Secret Place

He that dwellsĀ  in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD,Ā He isĀ my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,Ā andĀ from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truthĀ shall be thyĀ shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;Ā norĀ for the arrowĀ thatĀ flies by day;

NorĀ for the pestilenceĀ thatĀ walks in darkness;Ā norĀ for the destructionĀ thatĀ wastes at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;Ā butĀ it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the LORD,Ā which isĀ my refuge,Ā evenĀ the most High, thy habitation;

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

ForĀ He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up inĀ theirĀ hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: IĀ will beĀ with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Psalm 91

Hurricane Sandy

“When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll…” – Strafford

Praying for those who are affected by this storm, that power will be restored, people are rescued, rescuers are kept safe, and that all will be well soon.Ā 

The Lighthouse

There’s a lighthouse on the hillside
That overlooks the sea
When I’m tossed it sends out a light
That I might clearly see
And the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead me o’er
If it wasn’t for the lighthouse
My ship would be no more
And I thank God for the lighthouse
I owe my life to Him
Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin
He has shown a light around me
That I might clearly see
If it wasn’t for “The Lighthouse”
Tell me where would this ship be?

Together Forever

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Ā Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38

baby blue pinto 2

What comes to mind when you hear the word pinto? I guess it depends on how old you are, ā€œItā€™s a bean! Itā€™s a horse! No! Itā€™s an automobile!!!!!ā€ Thatā€™s right, a Pinto is an automobile produced by Ford in the 70ā€™s. It was a squatty, compact car with a huge triangular window in the back. But to me, a sixteen year-old looking at her first car, it was the cutest thing that I had ever seen! One cool morning in October, when I was seventeen, I was just leavingĀ  for school when my mother called out from the back of the house, ā€œHey, drive carefully and remember what they said on the news about those Pintoes blowing up!! Be careful.ā€Ā  This was true. Upon impact, (near the gas tank), Pintoes were sometimes prone to explode. ā€œOk, Iā€™ll be careful.ā€ I answered, and I was on my way. Iā€¦

The River

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.Ā ThereĀ is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God shall help her and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations He hath made in the earth. He makes wars to cease unto the end of the earth; He breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in sunder; He burns the chariot in the fire, Ā “Be still, and know that IĀ am God”Ā I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” Psalm 46
