good morning my beautiful friends. as you can see, I didn't get to it yesterday, but I did today so I'm tickled. it just doesn't do well for me take a break, it's hard for me to get back at it, but it was good for me to take a quick break and then, get back to it. I hope everyone is having good weather and getting gardens started and looking forward to watching what God's gonna do with what we're trying to do. I always say that I plant and pray, and leave the rest of it to Him. He's the first and only original gardener, so I think He knows what He's doing. thank You God for always blessing my efforts.

picking up with Obadiah Chapter 1, in this short book we see the judgement and the terrible consequences of sin and pride. but thru it all there is a promise of hope and restoration. do you have areas in your life where pride has taken root and separated you from God, if so, let go of pride and humble yourself before God. we just have to do this if we want to stay in right relationship with God. do we can within our power to bring unity to our community as a whole, supporting each other instead of dividing each other. but always stand on the word of God. don't just go along to get along. stand up for the right things. God is the ultimate judge in all things and He will always be just and His timing is perfect. hang on to the hope of restoration and deliverance that God promises to us, even in the midst of trials. pray for strength to hold on to the promises of God even in the hard times, especially in the hard times.
Jonah Chapter 1, have you ever tried to run away form God? Jonah did too. he wasn't successful, because he couldn't run away from God, neither can we. rebellion leads to chaos and we see a lot of chaos in the world today. submission to the will of God in our lives can lead to peace, even for the most reluctant hearts. even when we try to run and hide, God is still and is always in control. others are always watching the call of God in the lives others. make no mistake, other people see us when we try to run from the will of God in our lives. do we want the world to see us running away or stepping into the plan that God has for us? ask for a heart of obedience and willingness to walk into the plan that God has for us. God continues to try to draw us to Himself, He doesn't give up on us. His plan and desire for us it to walk in faith and obedience. may we continue to seek after the heart of God in all things.
Chapter 2, even in the belly of a whale, there is no situation to difficult for God. repentance and and holding on to faith in dire situations is of most importance. faith in God is all we have to hang on to. absolutely no one is beyond the saving power and reach of God, where ever you are, what ever whales belly you find yourself in, God will hear your prayers!!!! thank You Father for hearing our prayers!!!! thank God for His mercy to hear our prayers.
Chapter 3, Gods mercy is unlimited and offered to anyone and everyone who sincerely repents and Jonah sincerely repented. Jonah's obedience brought a whole city to repentance. we need to recognize the opportunities that God gives us to correct the course of our lives, and be thankful for the opportunity to fulfill His purposes. share the truth of God's word with others, knowing and believing that the word of God has the power to change lives. we have to know that it was the same word of God that transformed our own lives. just as God gives us mercy and compassion, we need to show that same mercy and compassion to those around us, especially those who need to know God. thank God for second chances!!!! pray for courage to accept God's call even though it may be difficult. have a heart that's quick to repent and seek God's forgiveness.
next time we pick up with Jonah Chapter 4.
-----------------------------------------
I don't have much more for today, so I guess I'll call it a day. I pray that we all have a great day today and that we keep seeking after the heart of God in all we do. serve the Lord where ever you are and what ever you're doing. blessings of strength and courage be ours today.
hugs and love, patty
