The Doves

I was having a rough day. Lots of emotions running too and fro. As I pulled into my driveway and I saw the doves again. They were sitting in my rock garden. They sat their even as I pulled in the drive and parked.

I felt comfort of God. I felt the presence of God. I felt the peace of God. I felt the promise of God.

Thank you Jesus.

Doves

This afternoon I was sitting in my front yard reading my bible. I looked up in a tree across the street and I saw two doves. They were beautiful. As I sat watching them I began to reflect on doves in the Bible.

I thought of the passage in Genesis where the dove brought back the twig to Noah. Showing Noah that hope was near.

In Genesis 15 during the covenant agreement with Abraham, God instructed Abraham to have a Dove, left whole, beside the sacrifice.

In the baptism of Jesus, a dove was used to describe the falling of the Holy Spirit.

Here God has used them to show hope, promise and His presence. As I reflect this season of life these two doves brought me comfort. They showed me that there is hope, that His promises will be fulfilled and He will be with me.

Dont Let Me Peek

We are to walk by faith and not by sight. I believe it. I teach it. Lord Help me live it. Help me not peak and to continue by faith. The stuff I "see" the stuff I think I control, is scary.

I have read Psalm 37 a lot over the last week or so. I find its words so helpful. I have looked at it in multiple translations. Each one is beautiful and helpful.

Father Keep Your Hands Over My Eyes. Direct my steps. Guide my hands. Calm my fears. Settle my stomach.

I love you Lion of Judah.
