I Choose Joy

Posted in Birds, Family, Healing, My thoughts, Nature by

Good morning everyone. This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. I will be thankful for the lone bird tweeting outside my window. I will be thankful for food, a warm home and family.

I have had disappointments and sadness. I may have difficulties to face. Things are not working out the way I hoped. But I choose to face the day with God’s care.

A little child awakes and smiles when his mum comes to pick him up from his cot. He will have a messy nappy, need washed and changed. He reaches up to be picked up by his mum.

God reaches down to us and picks us up in his arms. Isaiah 40 says
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;

I am making a choice to be glad today. I am making a choice to walk in joy. If God is for us who can be against us. No eye has seen nor ear heard what God has prepared for those who love him.

His eye is on the sparrow and He watches over me. 🎼🎼🎼

All Hail The Lamb

All hail the Lamb
Enthroned on high
His praise shall be our battle cry
His name is Jesus

These words from a hymn remind me of Easter. What is the popular food eaten on Easter Sunday by people who don’t even know what Easter means? Roast Lamb.

The people of Israel ate roast lamb on the night before their deliverance from slavery in Egypt. They were set free to worship their God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The angel of death passed over their homes. All the first born in Egypt died.

Many years later Jesus died a cruel death on the cross, the very day of the Festval when the Jews celebrated their deliverance from Egypt. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, although He was innocent of crime. He set us free from the power of Satan and took the keys of death and sin from him. By believing in Jesus we pass from death to life, freedom indeed.

All hail the Lamb.
