God Loved Us And Gave Us Nutmeg.
By JAG
August 4, 2021

God loves us in the Small Matters of life and gave us the cheerful
greens of summer, the heart-warning warm colors of Autumn ~ the
reds, oranges, browns, and yellows . . .

. . . and God gave us Cinnamon, Ginger, Black Pepper, Jasmine,
Gardenia, and the lemony fragrance of Magnolia.

God knew before Creation that millions of us would come to enjoy
Vanilla, Sweet Basil, and Rosemary ~ and it was Fatherly Planning
that designed and created them, and Father's Love that gave them
to us . . .

. . . and the life-blessing aroma of coffee. When you first open Folger's
Classic Roast, and the air under your nose is concentrated-happiness
and you say a silent "Thank You Father for Your many small blessings
that make my life so very enjoyable, and thank You for Your many
medium and large blessings too." . . .

. . . the aroma of freshly opened coffee is almost as enjoyable as the
fresh brewed cup, and on the 1 to 10 scale the smell of coffee is up
there with the magical fragrance of God's other heavenly scents like
rain plus flowers plus pine trees, and fresh-out-of-the-oven bread . . .

. . . and many of us wait with eager anticipation to meet our amazing
Heavenly Father and talk with Him. Perhaps we will one day walk with
Him in the evenings along Saffron Boulevard and hear Him tell us what
was in His mind and heart when He designed and then created Red
Roses, Camellias, Gardenias, and Geraniums . . .

. . . all these beautiful things, these soul-pleasing aromatic fragrances,
scented flowers, panoramic sunsets, the magnificent vivid colors of
life ~ the blues, greens, reds, browns, yellows, and greys, the soul
inspiring scenes of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, tell us what
kind of Person God is. He has a beautiful mind. He loves beautiful
things. He loves to create beauty. To share beauty with His creatures.
To teach us how to create beautiful things too. It was God that designed
the Orchid, the Hibiscus, and the Chrysanthemum. The Amaryllis was
born first in the mind and heart of God.

Father, we thank You for all that, and for Vermillion, Burnt Orange,
Turquoise, and Magenta . . .

. . . for Cloves, Lavender, Amber, Musk, Tangerines, Cardamom, and
Tiramisu.

Father, we thank you for Chocolate.

And we thank You for being there for us in the Small Matters of the lovely
details of living life ~ "Sparrows" and "Hairs" Matthew 10:29-30 . . .

But most of all, we thank You for being there for us in What Matters Most,
the gift of Eternal Life through faith in the death of the Lord Jesus on that
Old Rugged Cross; who died in our stead so that we may live with You
forever in Heaven where there is no more pain, no more sorrow, no more
politics, no more bickering and squabbling, no more aging "Old age is not
for sissies"__Billy Graham at 93 (and others), and no more Death ~ rather
Eternal Life where every day is Red Roses, Jasmine, and Magnolia.

Thank You Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit.

Gardenia's, oh how I love the scent.  Right up there with jasmine and stephanotis!

I like to think the banqueting table will be set with beautiful bouquets of flowers and all kinds of fruit and vegetable dishes, with all of the spices and herbs he created, used in ways we never imagined.  

The creativity of the human mind in art, music, poetry, architecture, and ever other kind of creativity will surround us!  I can hardly wait!!

@JAG**

I love your title :thumbsup:.

Your words were so refreshing to me, to be reminded of so many blessings from God.

God blesses chef's with all these different ingredient's you mentioned, and I was instantly reminded of those wonderful smells I respond to in my favorites restaurants.

Makes my mouth water right now just thinking about them :emot-dance:YUM !!!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
