The Moon

For the past two couple of nights, while sitting in my living room, looking outside my window, I have noticed how pretty the moon has been. Of course, I decided to take some pictures. I suppose the neighbors might have been wondering what I was doing.


















Ps 8:3 -
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Ps 104:19 -
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

Ps 121:6 -
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

Ps 136:9 -
The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Ps 148:3 -
Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

Isa 24:23 -
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

Isa 30:26 -
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

Isa 60:19 -
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

Isa 60:20 -
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

Ac 2:20 -
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

1Co 15:41 -
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

Re 21:23 -
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

Cedars of Lebanon

Cedars of Lebanon

Psalm 104:16
The cedars of Lebanon which He hath planted.


Lebanon's cedars are emblematic of the Christian, in that they owe their planting entirely to the Lord. This is quite true of every child of God. He is not man-planted, nor self-planted, but God-planted. The mysterious hand of the divine Spirit dropped the living seed into a heart which He had Himself prepared for its reception. Every true heir of heaven owns the great Husbandman as his planter. Moreover, the cedars of Lebanon are not dependent upon man for their watering; they stand on the lofty rock, unmoistened by human irrigation; and yet our heavenly Father supplieth them. Thus it is with the Christian who has learned to live by faith. He is independent of man, even in temporal things; for his continued maintenance he looks to the Lord his God, and to Him alone. The dew of heaven is his portion, and the God of heaven is his fountain. Again, the cedars of Lebanon are not protected by any mortal power. They owe nothing to man for their preservation from stormy wind and tempest. They are God's trees, kept and preserved by Him, and by Him alone. It is precisely the same with the Christian. He is not a hot-house plant, sheltered from temptation; he stands in the most exposed position; he has no shelter, no protection, except this, that the broad wings of the eternal God always cover the cedars which He Himself has planted. Like cedars, believers are full of sap having vitality enough to be ever green, even amid winter's snows. Lastly, the flourishing and majestic condition of the cedar is to the praise of God only. The Lord, even the Lord alone hath been everything unto the cedars, and, therefore David very sweetly puts it in one of the psalms, "Praise ye the Lord, fruitful trees and all cedars." In the believer there is nothing that can magnify man; he is planted, nourished, and protected by the Lord's own hand, and to Him let all the glory be ascribed.

I found something precious to make us all smile. I believe she is the same little girl who sang The Lord's Prayer so sweetly.

I found this cute video, Ape vs Tigers in Kim Komando's newsletter. I can't hear the sound, but it looks cute. I have heard her radio program late Sunday afternoons, and I recently subscribed to her newsletter. It is very informative about technical things and contains interesting videos, tips, etc.

I love the group Selah, and I missed this beautiful song they sang, on what I believe is the Fox News Channel.
