Hope’s Line
“Reflections of the days of past.
The year now gone – new one at last.
We’ve prayed, and hoped, believing all year through,
Salvation would come to make us new.
Freedom’s song continues to cry.
Amidst the hardship and blatant lies.
We sing our song to, “Auld Lang Syne”
Setting our hope in tomorrow lest Freedom dies.”
“We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go.
It’s an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearance right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up His permanent post as High Priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.” Hebrews 6:13-18 TM
“Melchizedek was king of Salem…”
“Melchizedek means “King of Righteousness.”
“Salem” means “Peace.”
“So, he is also, “King of Peace.”
Melchizedek towers out of the past – without record of family ties, no account of beginning or end.
In this way he is like the Son of God, one huge priestly presence dominating the landscape always.”
Hebrews 7:1-3 TM

One can sit in stillness if only her to please.”

Incline Your Ear
Life captivated by Grace.
“Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you –
The sure mercies of David.”
Isaiah 55:3 NKJV
Hebrew word pictures speak to me during my quiet time in the morning bringing revelation and heart understanding into my life. One word changes everything.
My thoughts, the day, His plans for me.
May you be blessed to see more of the love of God in these glimpses of God’s handwriting in the Hebrew letters.

Splendor’s Light
“Thank You, Father, for this day.
Peace settles as a gentle way.
Paths before me, open doors.
Abundant life, so much more!
Let my heart trust in You.
Let not it wrestle as its prone to do.
For we walk by faith and not by sight,
Let my head follow my heart,
On the Your path of Splendor’s light.”
“Your Word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.”
Psalm 119:105 NKJV
“I’ve chosen to obey Your truth
And walk in the splendor-light of all that You teach me.”
Psalm 119:30 TPT
Splendor, light filled, path’s way.

Good Hope
“Pencil and rhyme together,
Lifting up my praise.
For in You, I have my heart, and
Good hope for all my days.”

That I may live; And do not let me be
Ashamed of my hope.”

Opened to Know
“I sought the LORD and He answered me.
His Holy fire opened my eyes to see.
To know His Name and declare His fame,
For His consuming LOVE set me free!”
“I sought the LORD and He answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.”
Psalm 34:4 ESV
Beginning a new,

Dreams to Dream
While my family sleeps, I can’t help but get up and dream.
“What does my eye and heart behold?
A sleeping greenhouse with plants untold.
Tucked inside are dreams of spring;
Planning, planting, and growth to bring.
Your Word is faithful as it speaks to me,
The possibilities are endless,
“Come and See.”
“It shall come to pass…
Old men shall dream dreams.” Joel 2:28
Dreaming my way into this season of light.
Blessings,
Denise

Breaking of Bread
Good morning Lord,
Thank you for this day.
Set aside to celebrate,
And remember Your Faithful ways.
Although the shelves have been empty,
And lack covers our Land,
In Your tender Mercy,
You’ve provided abundantly from Your hand.
Welcome to our table,
Prepared and blessed by You.
Let us always give thanks, for we know,
Perfect Peace is found only in You.”
In Jesus Name, Amen
“So continuing daily with one accord…
They ate their food with gladness
And simplicity of heart,
Praising God…”
Acts 2:46-47 NKJV
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Blessings,
Denise
