Poem: I Was Nothing Until

I was lowly, poor, and nothing more than a bag of dirt.
I was empty and rejected by man and society before you found me.
What was it that you saw that would cause you to choose me? 
A king who could have anything took his time with me. 
Sat with me. 

Made a path ahead of me.  

Covered me with peace and mercy. 

Clothed me with righteousness and modesty. 

Sheltered me in the darkest of days. 

Most of all loves me unconditionally.  

Just like so many others you walked and talked with, I was nothing until the day you became my everything. You made me somebody as you do with everybody who makes that same decision.  Equality to all who comes to you. Something humanity in itself cannot achieve that can truly only be found in you. 

So, I thank you this morning for not just overlooking me. For if you had I would hate to imagine what my life today would be. How truly miserable and unhappy I would be.  My thoughts to someone reading now, there is hope and salvation even for you as our Savior only see’s you for you unlike any other.  I say these things as it is my testimony that I am alive and well today solely because of my Redeemer and my friend, Jesus.

Mystery of the Precious Gems: A Study of the Twelve Tribes

First, there is prophetic meaning in the number twelve all throughout the bible.  It symbolizes God's power and authority and perfect governmental foundation.  It may also symbolize God's completeness. God made a covenant with Father Abraham that he would have seeds that no man can number like the stars in the heaven and like the sand on the seashore.  Abraham's grandson that was naturally born named Jacob, and later renamed by God, Israel who had twelve sons, each son would come to represent a tribe of Israel that were God's Chosen People.  Exodus 24:4) says, "And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.  Moses constructed the twelve pillars of stone at the foot of the Mount Sinai as a memorial to God.  The stones represented the twelve tribes of Israel and signifies a new generation committing to a covenant as they establish t...

Study Guide to My Posts

I have friends who have been waiting on me to finish some of my studies.  I don't have them all done but I do have quite of few ready to go.  I have also went through and added the link at the bottom of each study so all you have to do is click the link to the next one study on the list.  I hope you enjoy studying God's word as much as I do.  Several of you have helped me along on this journey as you ask questions I became familiar with God telling me to search it and see what I might learn and share with others.  Feel free to ask me if you have any questions you may have come to mind.  I am always adding to my studies as God reveals more about them at different times.  So I always say they are a work in progress.  God Bless each of you.

"Gam zeh ya'avor" Hebrew for "This too shall pass"

Psalms 57:1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. We have often heard this phrase at one time in our lives, but it's not actually found in the Bible. So, where did it come from. I found that most Jews attribute this phrase to an ancient "folkloric" parable about King Solomon: One day Solomon decided to humble Benaiah Ben Yehoyada, his most trusted minister. He said to him, “Benaiah, there is a certain ring that I want you to bring to me. I wish to wear it for Sukkot which gives you six months to find it.” “If it exists anywhere on earth, your majesty,” replied Benaiah, “I will find it and bring it to you, but what makes the ring so special?” “It has magic powers,” answered the king. “If a happy man looks at it, he becomes sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he becomes happy.” Solomon knew that no such ring existed in the world, but h...
