Topic: Bon Voyage (09/05/05)
Praise Him and be happy with Him. There is such a Truth and a Joy in knowing Him personally and walking with Him daily. Let's go to:

Psalms 33:18 "Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;"

behold (Strong's 2009) lo!, behold, lo or see; (from Strong's 2005) lo!, if, behold, if, lo or though;
eye (Strong's 5869) knowledge, sight, presence, an eye, outward appearance, knowledge, look or sight;
Lord (Strong's 3068) Self-Existent, Eternal or Jehovah; (from Strong's 1961) to exist, become or come to pass;
fear (Strong's 3373) fearing, reverend and afraid; (from Strong's 3372) to fear, revere, frighten or reverence (feel deep respect);
hope (Strong's 3176) to wait, be patient or hope;
mercy (Strong's 2617) goodness, kindness, faithfulness, a reproach or shame; (from Strong's 2616) to bow the neck only (in courtesy to an equal), to be kind or show mercy.


So behold dear God and see things from His Point of View in life. Give your life over to Him and see what happens! It is so exciting and fresh to wake up each day happy knowing that there is some purpose or some way that you will be serving Him. Be respectful of His Feelings and pay Him some attention. Know that He is Kind, Merciful, Faithful to you, and Patient.

The Best Way to see things through His Eyes is to know His Word. That way you have the knowledge and foresight into your life. You know what is expected of you and what is pleasing to Him. You see the closer and straighter you live your life to the way He wants you to, the less negativity you have. He shows you so many examples over and over just so you do not miss His Point so there is no excuse for not knowing what it is that He needs from you. Most of all, His Love and spending time in getting to know how to live for Him and be there for Him.

He is there for you every day giving you so many blessings and making life so easy for you. Give back and see how much better and fulfilling your walk here is with Him. He will show you His Kindness and Mercy to mistakes you make along the way. Remember to cleanse out that and ask that He Cover you in Jesus the Christ's, His Son's Name.

Finally, praise Him and be happy with Him. There is nothing like walking with the One Who knows what is best for you and being right with Him. Be proud of your actions because you represent and are His Witness by accepting His Son into your heart. He loves you and knows that you will do the right thing. So do it! He loves you so much.

Thanks dear God for Your Love and Your Mercy,

Good message. I must say I enjoyed your writing more than the Strongs concordance. I wonder if the article would suffer if Strongs were left out?

I feel like a real idiot here, but can someone tell my what this Strong's thing refers to? I feel like this part that I'm missing will really pull the piece together for me. Sorry, I can't comment on it until I understand it!

First, I like how you tie the beginning and the end together: Praise Him and be happy in Him. Wonderful reminder! I would suggest clearing up the Strong's concordance references. kudos that you went to Strong's for researching, but it comes across as mish-mash and difficult to understand. I had to re-read that part 2-3 times to understand what you were trying to say. You could probably have left that part out, or paraphrase it differently. Nice effort!!

I forgot to mention that I don't see the connection to the challenge topic of Bon Voyage.
