Serenity In The Trees

Keeping Our Thoughts on Things Above & Serenity in the Trees

Oh trees
As you reach into the sky
So quiet, so still
A shelter in place
Not a stirring movement from you today
But you are alive
I layout on my deck looking into the sky
Wow
You shoot from here to there, and the beautiful blue shows through
Thank you, God, for these trees and serenity
Viewing life from a lounge chair is quite the experience!

Encouragements

We receive encouragement by spending time in nature – the splendor and grace in a tree, a flower, an animal, the ocean, the sky and clouds, the rain – such intricate overwhelming beauty giving peace, wonder, love, and sheer joy.

We find comfort and inspiration in honest, heartfelt conversations full of truths, love, some tears, and laughter.

You will find God’s awesome encouragement throughout the Bible. Therefore, let us find wonder and awe in the beauty of life. Above all, keeping our thoughts, filling our minds, on things above, the holy and acceptable things of God. As Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:18:

Meditate on These Things

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Phillipians 4:18

Encouragement & Comfort Scripture –

¹³Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:¹⁴ But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:13-14 KJV

²⁸ “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 KJV

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. ² He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. ³ He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:1-3 KJV

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² The same was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing that was made. ⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:1-4 KJV

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9 KJV

Hope –

Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13 KJV

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
