The Valley of the Shadow of...

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of cows, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."

Wait, what? Where does this come from?

That's exactly what I thought at first, too, as I was walking in an open field with cows EVERYWHERE and silently praying to God to look down and push them out of MY WAY (I do have this kind of love-hate relationship with cows... I love milk, but I don't really like cows. They're too big and intrusive).

So this sentence came to my mind as I was walking by two cows (they were very close).

...Then I got it. Right! A sort of twisted Psalm 23.

Ooooh I love His humour!!! He just knows how to make me laugh!

What is your Valley today? What are your fears? Whether they're small like spiders or big as cows,  nothing is too dangerous to the Maker of Heaven and Earth.

He just pushes them out of your way :)

Instruct the watchmen

Create a wall around my heart.
Protect it from the lies.

Instruct the watchmen to recognize the danger before it penetrates into the castle of my heart, in the form of a charming, well-dressed prince.

Instruct the watchmen to recognize Your Goodness, the King traveling undercover, dressed in rags, riding a donkey.

EIRENE

The Lord provides every day, enough for this day.      (Ex. 16)

The one who doesn't trust in His provision, but lays up treasures for himself (not being rich towards God) is bound for short-coming.     (Lk. 12:18-21)

The one who trusts in the provision of the Lord lays up treasures in heaven - nothing will ever cause them to wither.    (Mt. 6:19-21)

ONE THING is necessary - and this will not be taken away by those who find their portion in God.   (Lk. 10:38-41)

The Promise made to those who express their anxieties and thoughts to the LORD in the form of prayer, supplication and thanksgiving is the PEACE OF GOD, who surpasses all knowledge and understanding, guarding the heart and the mind.       (Phil. 4:6-7)


EIRENE

the Peace of God, will guard our hearts and minds. Trust Him for what you need today. He knows.

Back To The Roots

I'm back! Again.

3 years is a long time, but I have been thinking quite a while now that it would be nice to take some time to share my thoughts with the world... Also because by writing and expressing myself I feel like I can get some order in my busy mind ;)

Thoughts, passions, dreams, stories and so on. Welcome back to my dandelions' garden. I hope you can pick something out of it.
