Well With My Soul

John 4:14 (New International Version)

¹⁴but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
It is well with my soul.

Sandcastles

Matthew 7:26 (New International Version)

²⁶But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
A day on the beach may be fun, but don't build your house there.  It's only good for sandcastles, which quickly disappear.  A foundation built on His word will stand for eternity.

In Awe

Psalm 145:6 (NIV)

⁶ They will tell of the power of your awesome works,and I will proclaim your great deeds.

If we are not in awe of God, we may want to reconsider our walk and with whom we're walking.

Opened Eyes

Genesis 3:6-7 (NIV)

⁶ When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
⁷ Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
They saw before their eyes were opened, or so they thought.  What seemed good, pleasing, and desirable led to that which is none of those things.  Only when we realize our distance from God can we hope to get back. Like the son who left long ago, it is when we come to our senses, to ourselves, that we are able to go back to the Father.  

Greatly Disturbed

Acts 4:2 (NIV)

²They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
¹²Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
Teaching and proclaiming the good news of the gospel disturbs many, for though it speaks of salvation and life from God, it includes the fact that this salvations is found only in Jesus.  Those who believe are not greatly disturbed by this teaching.

From His Flesh

Genesis 2:22 (New International Version)

²² Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
Jesus is the new Adam.  From His flesh the bride of Christ is taken.  Likewise, we are given to the Son by the Father.  We are given a new name and made one with Him.  

In The Passing

John 3:8 (NIV)

⁸The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

As the wind does blow

So it is with the Spirit

See the leaves tremble

The word is alive and the Spirit moves and the leaves dance in the passing.
