Pretty zinnias Meg! My garden is looking OK. Probably won’t need to add mums to it this year. Thanks for the nice photo!

One Amazing Letter
Sept 10, 2014

Read: Psalm 119:9-16

I will not forget Your word. —Psalm 119:16

Bible in a Year:
Proverbs 8-9; 2 Corinthians 3

Once in a while my wife and I open the mail to find a letter with no words on it. When we take the “letter” out of the envelope, we see a piece of paper with nothing more on it than a colorful mark made with a felt pen. Those “letters” warm our hearts because they’re from our preschool granddaughter Katie, who lives in another state. Even without words, these letters tell us that she loves us and is thinking about us.

We all cherish letters from those we love and those who love us. That’s why there is so much encouragement in the fact that our heavenly Father has given us a letter called the Bible. The value of Scripture goes beyond its words of power, challenge, and wisdom. Amid all of the stories, teaching, and guidance this Book provides, the overriding idea is that God loves us and has planned our rescue. It tells us of His love in overseeing our existence (Ps. 139), meeting our needs (Matt. 6:31-34), comforting us (2 Cor. 1:3-4), and saving us through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus (Rom. 1:16-17).

You are loved beyond imagination. God says so in His inspired and inspiring message to you. No wonder the psalmist wrote, “I will not forget Your word” (Ps. 119:16). It is one amazing letter!

Lord, help me to examine the Bible’s pages,
understand its truths, and apply its teachings to my
life. May I be as excited about Your letter to me as I
am about a letter, email, or Facebook posting by a friend.

The love of God for us is revealed in His letter to us—the Bible.

Insight

Psalm 119 is the longest psalm and chapter in the Bible. The focus of its 176 verses is God and His Word. God is mentioned in every verse of this psalm, and the entire psalm speaks of the primacy, authority, sufficiency, and efficacy of God’s Word in the life of the believer. It is a personal prayer for help. Oppressed and persecuted by powerful enemies who scorned and ridiculed his beliefs in God (vv.23,157,161), the unnamed psalmist found great strength and much comfort by trusting, keeping, and meditating on the Word of God. In this passage (vv.9-16), we see that victory over sin comes about only when we hide, meditate, contemplate, and delight in God’s Word.

I love psalm 119.

I have set many Psalms to music, but 119 DOES present a bit of a challenge! LOL!

Welcome To Warm Fuzzy Wednesday
At Amy's Place

Monarch Poem ~ by WayzataJOHNN

A brilliant monarch butterfly seeking the lazy sun
passed me in the brightness of day with a jaunted air
as if to it, would never know a single whit or care
and it made me smile, and then laugh in honest fun

I remember the days that touched me deepest with life
and I remember then and now how I reached beyond myself
and found there as if idle upon a long forgotten shelf
a different heart, a soul less worn, a joy without strife

I Wish You A Wonderful Day

Thank you, Mary...Although my link focuses on that long trip to Mexico for overwintering..some Monarchs also overwinter in Califoria..I lived 10 minutes from a site in California near Goleta.

.It was awesome to see the butterfly trees..a Eucalyptus grove covered in Monarchs..It was like being in a Cathedral..We whispered. I was able to take 3 of my young grandchildren there with my son and DIL when they visited at Christmas one year.

Beautiful!! Thanks, Meg, for the Monarch poem and migration info. I will be on the look out for them, this week.

We do have one flower that they tend to like....I can’t remember the name of it, though :( It is one that the hummingbirds have been enjoying, lately.

Have a wonderful Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

Thank you, Jane, for your sweet comments...
I have been interested in Monarch migration since living near an overwintering site in California..

How a fragile butterfly can fly from Canada to Mexico to overwinter is one of God’s miracles.
