Do you know He who delights us with awe, indescribable
Gold and crimson candelabras splashed on vistas, autumnal...
Heavens, wild with glints of glory where faith waits sight's recompense
Earth’s sin-ruined Eden roaring with Relentless Evidence...
This quote “It’s not what you know but who you know”
was mentioned the other day during my Old Stone Farm House visit;
in regard, to how good connections can be invaluable when undertaking a project!
It's so beneficial to know 'the right person who knows the right person for the job' etc.!
When Jesus came to this earth He was fully human and fully God
and no matter who we know, no matter how great and talented
and helpful, it never can compare to knowing He
who gifts and grants our abilities and talents,
and who worked the greatest work of all; our soul-salvation!
Do you know Him;
the Saviour of the soul,
the King of kings
and Lord of Lords?
Do you long to know Him better?
I do, and we can, each time we open His Word
and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to us!
Eph.1:17-21
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the glorious Father, may give you (us) the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation,
so that you (we) may know him better.
18 I pray that the eyes of your (our) heart/s may be enlightened
in order that you (we) may know the hope to which he has called you, (us)
the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
and his incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is the same as the mighty strength
20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead
and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
21 far above all rule and authority,
power and dominion, and every name that is invoked,
not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
John 1:1 ESV
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
John 1:14 ESV
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we have seen his glory,
glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Do you know the One who orders earth’s four-season carousel
He who rends night’s starry heavens with daybreak, unstoppable
He who instills seed-sized kernels with bounty of harvest-hymn
He who created and knows us with a love that will not dim
Do you know He who delights us with awe, indescribable
Gold and crimson candelabras splashed on vistas, autumnal
Heavens, wild with glints of glory where faith waits sight's recompense
Earth’s sin-ruined Eden roaring with Relentless Evidence
Do you know He who so loved us that He bore the sinner’s rod
He who paid our debt with His blood; the begotten Son of God
He who shattered Satan’s scheming, bridging death and hell’s dark rift
The Light of the world who longs for all to receive His grace-gift
Do you know the One who grants us strength beyond all human scope
He who is to every mortal, unchanging, immortal hope
He whose mercy none can fathom, whose compassion none can drain
He whose loving kindness forgives, over and over again
Do You know Him; I AM, who is without beginning or end
Builder and Ruler of Zion desires to be our Friend
He who stuns the eye with seeing and the ear with nature’s lay
He who melts hard hearts, embittered by the troubles of the day
Do you know Him, love Him, trust Him, fear , revere, His Holy Word
To You long to know Him better with devotion undeterred
Do you fix your eyes on a prize beyond this brief, (grief) broken world
For someday on clouds of Heaven, all will see I AM unfurled

It was one of those so-beautiful-it-hurt sunrises ...
"So beautiful, it hurts" - Yes, Janet, I know what you mean. We, too, had such a sunset last evening - the colours kept pouring out over the sky and clouds. 'Twas spectacular. Thank you for your lovely thoughts and photos! xo
