HEART'S DESIRE

PROMISES OF THE BIBLE

Don’t worry about the wicked

    or envy those who do wrong.
For like grass, they soon fade away.
    Like spring flowers, they soon wither.

 Trust in the Lord and do good.
    Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.

Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you your heart’s desires.

Commit everything you do to the Lord.
    Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,
    and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.

 Be still in the presence of the Lord,
    and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
    or fret about their wicked schemes.

 Stop being angry!
    Turn from your rage!
Do not lose your temper—
    it only leads to harm.

For the wicked will be destroyed,
    but those who trust in the Lord will possess the land.  Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.

The lowly will possess the land
    and will live in peace and prosperity

Psalm 37:1-11  NLT  (New Living Translation)

SHADOW MYSTERY?

STRANGEST THINGS OF THE BIBLE

Isaiah the prophet visits King Hezekiah, telling him he is going to die soon.

"In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”  Isaiah 38:1 NIV

Hezekiah wept and prayed.

"Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and

prayed to the Lord, “Remember, Lord, how I

have walked before you faithfully and with

wholehearted devotion and have done what is

good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah

wept bitterly.  Isaiah 38:2-3  NIV

GOD spoke to Isaiah the prophet a word telling

him that he would live 15 more years.

"Then the word of the Lord came to

Isaiah:  “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what

the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I

have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I

will add fifteen years to your life.  And I will

deliver you and this city from the hand of the

king of Assyria. I will defend this city.   

Isaiah 38:4-6  NIV

GOD's sign to Hezekiah that he his going to

fulfill His promise of extending his life and

protecting him from Assyrisa; will be moving

the Sun's shadow backwards.

  

“‘This is the Lord’s sign to you that

the Lord will do what he has promised:  I will

make the shadow cast by the sun go back the

ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of

Ahaz.’” So the sunlight went back the ten steps

it had gone down.  Isaiah 38:7-8  NIV  New International Version

GOD is able to do this miracle any way he

wants.  It says that GOD moved sunlight and

created a shadow ten steps back.

While stopping the earth and moving it

backwards is possible for God; it would cause

a great world wide disaster.  The earth is

spinning 1,000 mph and a sudden stop would

cause earthquakes, tsunamis and wind storms.

And it is possible for God to move the Sun too;

but this would shake up our solar system.  All

the planets would be effected by the sudden

change in the Sun's gravitational position. 

Comets and asteroid would be moved too.

GOD IS LIGHT  

1 John 1:5 NASB

If God is able to block Sunlight, like the 3

hours when Jesus hung on the cross, the

entire earth was in darkness.

God is able to create his own light too;

replacing Sunlight, and making it appear the

shadow is moving 10 steps back.

GRASSHOPPERS

MISUNDERSTANDINGS OF THE BIBLE

A common question, "Doesn't God and Moses know that grasshoppers have 6 legs?"  

‘All the winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you. Yet these you may eat among all the winged insects which walk on all fours: those which have above their feet jointed legs with which to jump on the earth. These of them you may eat: the locust in its kinds, and the devastating locust in its kinds, and the cricket in its kinds, and the grasshopper in its kinds.  But all other winged insects which are four-footed are detestable to you.  Leviticus 11:20-23 NASB  (New American Standard Bible)

The answer is clearly stated; that grasshoppers have four legs to walk on and two limbs to jump.
