Intricate design woven and weaved by artist hands,
Imported beauties shipped from other lands,
things to treasure and lock away,
and things worth much money we pay.
The world finds comfort in which to things we cling
to some special item or beautiful thing.
But there is a higher perspective from a Father so tall,
that the things we see here have no value at all.
For moths come to eat till it all fades to nothing,
we choose to cry in sorrow or in praise we can sing.
Do we love the things or the Creator of all?
Is our perspective big or is it too small?
I pray you see it with an unseen spiritual gaze
instead of continuing in the world's tangible ways.

Here in South Texas we are under flood advisory. At times like this, it helps me to realize what is most important. It's not things we see, but things we cannot.
Here in preparation for the storm, are we preparing our hearts as well?
Are we not only stocking up on bread to eat, but stocking up on the daily bread of Christ?
Read the WOrd of God today and everyday to know the truth.
Take these words at truth and memorize them to prepare you for the storm.
Deauteronomy 11:18-20
18“You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. 19“You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up. 20“You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,
Yes, you should prepare for a storm in many ways. But do not conform to the ways of the world in fear. Trust God Daily with your needs.
God Warns against this hoarding of riches in place of daily trusting Him.
Matthew 4
But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
This music video is perfect for this verse...
Shane and Shane, Though You Slay Me
Things in the storm may wash away. This is God's will for us to cling to Him in knowing that He is the only rock to stand on in the storm. He is the firm foundation on which we stand.
If a storm is what I takes to praise Him, then bring the rain!
Listen to this song...
Mercy Me, Bring the Rain
Matthew 6:19-21
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.…
I pray that these images I created and words of truth bring you closer to Christ.
