Tangible Reminders (of Who God Is)

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,who daily bears our burdens.Psalm 68:19 Sometimes when we pass through seasons of (prayer)-discouragement,God convicts and comforts us with tangible reminders of who He is; Faithful As surely as nature displays his faithfulnessin every season,so too is His perfect timing in our lives! These two poems by Edgar A. Guest remind us to take a breath...and Behold! The birthplace of today runs rife(In spite of weight of care)With much to make this little lifeA lovely thing to bear Beauty’s showcase is marvelousWinter-spring-summer-fallMakes it impossible to missThe One who wills it all The budded branch bursts into songThe tresses of its hymnA shelter for the feathered throngThe nests in lofty limb A masterpiece of petals spillsFrom frilly lily-loomRiver-ribbons wind between hillsAt night star-gardens bloom …and as the afternoon unwindsTo twilight’s vestibulesThe Artist of dusk’s murals findsConstant originals Beneath a canopy of skyOft aweing mortal gazeWe go; God sees the low and highOf every trail we blaze …and beckons us to trust the loveThat moves His mighty HandIn ways that grants grand glimpses ofWho none can understand © Janet Martin …and as the afternoon unwindsTo twilight’s vestibulesThe Artist of dusk’s murals findsConstant originals... The budded branch bursts into song... The tresses of its hymnA shelter for the feathered throngThe nests in lofty limb... 1 John 5:14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
