Old and New alike...

Very busy week, few trials in between. Missing all the family time we had the few weeks prior. Trying to set mind to see fresh hope in all areas.

Took some time to walk. Surely i could stir my mind and sight to see things from a new perspective.

Ephesians 3:14-21 (ESV)

Prayer for Spiritual Strength

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth is named,16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love,18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

I saw vines growing together on a tree. One mature and one new- growing the same upward fashion. Not random or without direction but by created internal means.

Saw two sized grape-like looking vines- same detail but one large and one small in diameter.

Ferns or different sizes

Seedling pine (close look) and large pine

Spiders of all sizes weave similar webs- not random

fawns learn naturally and by similar means as the older deer

Thistles and flowers together (little random but real life)

1. 2 size climbing vines 

2. 2 sizes of grape vines 

3. 2 sizes of ferns

4. Large pine and in front - (look close sapling pine )

5. Flowers with thistles

God has created a cycle of life And it is certainly not random.

Climbing vines obey nature's laws and climb toward the sun both young and old .

The new plants ferns vines and trees grow like those before.

Very young spiders spin a similar web as the old

Spotted fawns learn from older deer

Each generation learns from those that come before and those that follow.

Ecclesiastes 1:8-10 (NIV)

8 All things are wearisome,
    more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
    nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
    what has been done will be done again;
    there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
    “Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
    it was here before our time.

Unfailing God

Though my eyes may fail meI will follow after YouThough You promise seems forsakenI'll remember the world's in Your handsYou'll find me singing

You are unfailing GodYour love's unendingAnd Your word is eternalFirm in the heavens its stands

Though sorrow's my conditionAnd pain holds back no blowThough this be my darkest hourYour lamp is leading me homeYou'll find me singing

Eyes can't see but I feel You nearI know You're working through my tearsI trust You Lord I trust You for You never walk away

Psalm 52:8-9 (NIV)

8 But I am like an olive tree
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.
9 For what you have done I will always praise you
    in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
    for your name is good.
