As I snapped this view of the sun\u2019s rays, I thought: \u201cAnd God said\u2026..\u201d Oh, if ever we needed God&#8217;s &#8220;saids&#8221; with clarity, it is in these times. I sensed He was &#8220;saying&#8221; and we only need to lend an ear. A neighbor walked by me and remarked \u201cIsn\u2019t that the most beautiful sunrise?\u201d And I replied with gusto: \u201cAnd God said\u2026\u201d The man said \u201cI think so, too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So this blog today is straight from Heaven Central to us earthlings! No doubt, God is wanting to get through to His rebellious, disobedient, contrary, and ornery kids because He loves us way too much to let us go on like this. I\u2019m one of those who needs to be reminded of His words from way before this day and time. He probably \u2013 no, surely \u2013 had us in mind when He spoke them the first time. Let&#8217;s listen to what our Father is saying. I, with you, want to hear Him and purpose to obey Him with my words AND actions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>? And God said,<br>&#8220;Let there be light,&#8221; and there was light.\u201d Genesis 1:3<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cI have loved you with an everlasting love.\u201d Jeremiah 31:3<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cThis is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.\u201d John 15:17<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cDo not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.\u201d Isaiah 41:10<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cI am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.\u201d Isaiah 41:13<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cThough the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed.\u201d Isaiah 54:10<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cIf my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.\u201d 2 Chronicles 7:14<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cFor I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.\u201d Jeremiah 29:11<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cHave I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.\u201d Joshua 1:9<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cI will never leave you or forsake you.\u201d Deuteronomy 31:6<br>? And God said,<br>\u201cCome to Me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest.\u201d Matthew 11:28<br>? And God said,<br>&#8220;Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.&#8221; John 14:27<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I had exhausted God\u2019s early morning wonders, but not so yesterday.
