His Eye Seeth Every Precious Thing

The aroma of country ham moves deliciously on the wind. A warm seventy-two degrees on this late March day at 10:10 in the morning and the sun pours through the windows of my temporary She Shed. Cracker Barrel is churning out boxes of carry out to those who dare leave the safety of their homes on this Saturday morning to pick up. Otherwise, no worries, I'm sure they will deliver those biscuit delicacies for you, hopefully tossing in a couple of blackberry jams. In the meantime, it suffices just to take in the aroma while feasting upon some goodness from His Words, which are sweeter than any blackberry jam from Cracker Barrel.
Social media explains it. A few have all the answers, you know. You can always count on them. But to the faithful lovers and followers of Christ, it's a favorite verse of Scripture for such a time as this, a quote from our beloved fathers of the faith, a story of love and redemption, more positive than negative. A baby is born. A loved one dies, sadness to be sure for we cannot gather to say goodbye. No, no. Gathering is not permitted these days. But this will fade as do all the other extemporaneous moments, days and years of our lives, though we have not seen similar, nothing this "separating" and uncertain.
Remember our study of the Names of God? The post was titled "Almost Home." Let's add one here as we so often do... just add one at a time. You can always go back and put them all together, or maybe I'll make a full list for you without adding any explanation.
As I had these thoughts about what's going on in our Country and the World, and I read the Scriptures this morning, this verse was right there!
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks;
and his eye seeth every precious thing.
Job 28:10
I love that He sees. He sees the precious things. No, better than that. He sees every precious thing! And did you get that He "cuts out rivers among the rocks"? That's significant. Have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? Or even closer to home, have you ever been on the banks of the Tallahatchie River?
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, 
beholding the evil and the good.
Job 15:3
Who is this God that sees? El Roi. Our El Roi, He is The God Who Sees!
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them
that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy.
Psalm 33:18
Do you think that God does not see and know what's going on in this world right now? Don't forget, this all belongs to Him, not us, not the Democrats or the Republicans. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, everywhere present, all consuming, and what's truly amazing is that He is immutable. He never changes. He has not been caught off-guard. Neither can He be found unawares of every minute detail of every day. He knows that we are bored and questioning and concerned, some are sick, some even destitute because they have fallen on hard times or they just didn't plan properly. Whatever your lot... He knows, He sees and He cares.
But we are all free moral agents, responsible for our own actions. He wants your undivided attention right now, as I believe He is either doing or preparing to do something that we've never seen before. That is not prophetic. It's simply theology. Here, let me give you this from His Word:
Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, 
according as we hope in thee.
Psalm 33:22
THE BIGGEST QUESTION:  IS YOUR HOPE IN HIM?

It was Over... The South Was Defeated

By
Isaac Payne rode with the last of his company to Appomattox on April 10 with no inkling of what to expect. He waited outside the perimeter. Enlisted men were not allowed to be present on the streets of the Courthouse area. Only commanding officers. Isaac was emaciated, just like all the other southern patriots who leaned hard against the white picket fence that surrounded the township. Tired, empty, and disheartened, they waited to know the end of the story. One man could scarcely be identified from the next. They all looked the same. Withered and wasted. Isaac dismounted and patted Glory. She was his only earthly possession besides his weapons. His only connection to home. He gripped the bridle and pressed his face to her thin neck, unconsciously rubbing his hand over her protruding bones. If he looked up in the distance he might see his father and brother riding the dusty road to Appomattox to join him, but how could that be? They were dead. The thought of their absence and

Upon These Fields of Glory—

By
It was hot and muggy. Historians declare it was steamy . Such is Mississippi in the summertime. From the banks of the swollen Tishomingo River on June 10, 1864, Union soldiers jumped by the thousands to escape the fire of a burning, raging battle in the Northeastern corner of the Sovereign State of Mississippi, in a little community known as Brice's Cross Roads. Confederate Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest pulled out all the stops to pull off one of the fiercest and most strategic battles of the Civil War. He won that battle, hands down. Late spring rains caused the narrow stream of water to overflow its banks. Union troops by the thousands, under the command of Brigadier General Samuel D. Sturgis slogged the gently sloping hills, their wagon trains pulled by mules dotting the landscape like flies on molasses, covering miles and miles of muddy terrain, until that day, untouched except by a few farm houses, a Reformed Presbyterian church, and an old log house, all set beneat

A Proper Welcome Home . . .

... After All These Years! My brother was born on May 28, 1945, the year World War II ended. In August of that same year, the Japanese had surrendered unconditionally. Unknown to my brother, who was less than three months old, the winds of war blew fiercely somewhere else on the far side of the earth as the Japanese occupied a spot north of the sixteenth parallel after the War had ended. In September of that year, Ho Chi Minh, leader of the Viet Minh, declared the Democratic Republic of Vietnam before a crowd of some 500,000 in Hanoi. But the major allied victors of World War II— the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union—all agreed the area belonged to the French. As the French had not the wherewithal to retake Vietnam at the time, the major powers agreed that British troops would occupy the South and the Nationalist Chinese, the North. On September 14, 1945, Chinese forces disarmed the Japanese troops north of the sixteenth parallel and the British landed i
