Yehovah is SO GOOD!

Our family happens to love sweet and spicy pickles.  We buy a product called Wickles Pickles and eat them out of the jar like candy.

So this year, I decided to try my hand at making them.  I found a recipe online and tweaked it a little.  Four medium cucumbers that we grew in our garden became four jars of the sweetest, tastiest pickles!

But the most exciting part of all of these treasure troves of information is to realize that our Heavenly Father is the most merciful loving God we could ever imagine.

As He left warnings for us in His word of what is to come in our very evil world, He is also calling hundreds if not thousands of people all over the world to return to the land and become somewhat self-sufficient.  He is placing in the hearts of His children a longing for a simpler life, and a desire to know where our food comes from and learn to grow it ourselves.  And He has provided, just as the prophet Daniel said, "increased knowledge" everywhere.   So many people are learning and sharing the skills we might need in our future as this world comes crashing down.

What an amazing God we serve!

Isaiah 10:21-23  A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Might God.  Though your people be like the sand by the sea, Israel, only a remnant will return.  Destruction has been decreed, overwhelming and righteous.  The Lord, Yehovah Almighty, will carry out the destruction decreed upon the whole land.

1 Cor 3:7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

We planted potatoes 2 seasons ago.  Last year we ignored the potato plants, pulled them up even, to feed to our chickens.  This year we left them at one end of our raised beds.  

VOILA!  We have a harvest of potatoes once again.  It reminds me that when seeds are planted, we may or may not see the fruit of what we sow.  But at some point down the road, those seeds can take root and grow. 

The word of God is like that.  We can plant and water but that is about all we can do.  If the seeds take root and grow into a harvest, it is up to our Father.   We may or may not see this happen but we should be encouraged that His plan is for Him to bring the harvest.

wow

LOOK AT THAT COLOR!

Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
