Isaiah 12:3 “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.”

The Scene: A water well–the representation of God’s Word, living water.

Notice the bucket and hand crank which have been provided. The water is there; but each person must draw from the well in his/her own faith that God will provide what He has promised. Action on our part is always required because everything we receive from our heavenly Father is through faith. *

2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

*Our Father God is forgiving, full of grace and mercy. However, He requires that we act in His specific ways, pleasing to Him.

James 1:22 “You see that his faith and actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.” The Scripture refers to Abraham, who was willing to obey God’s directions and to sacrifice his own son, Isaac. He trusted God completely, stepped out in faith, and was rewarded for his obedience. We are required to go to the well, the living Word of our Lord and do what He says. Then, like father Abraham, we also will be rewarded.

5-128 LIVING WORD

iSAIAH 43:25 “

Matthew 8:26-27 “He replied, ‘You of little faith, why are you so afraid?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, ‘What kind of man is this?’ Even the wind and the waves obey him!’ “

The Scene: A stained glass window-like representation of the churning blue-green sea.

Psalm 107:29-30 “He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven.”

The Lord, our God, desires His children, believers in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to bring their problems & troubled seas to Him– He alone can bring us lasting peace and calm over life’s troubled seas.

Psalm 107:31 “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men.”

Let us give Him praise and exalt His name forever!

5-117 BRINGING CALM

Matthew 13:16 “But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”

The Scene: A bottle of eye drops–symbolic of Jesus who provides the eyesight for our souls and spirits. Only He is the One who is allows us to see spiritually and clearly from His Word.

Ephesians 1:18 “I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.” (The Apostle Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians.)

Hebrews 12:2 “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

5-116 SPIRITUAL EYE SIGHT

Mark 8:25 “Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.”

In the scene is a pair of trifocal glasses-three lens in one. Each part of the lens represents a part of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit. Each part helps the wearer to see more clearly the area he is trying view/inspect. All three parts of the lens are required. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are always in agreement with each other to form the whole picture.

Like the trifocal lens, we need the Holy Trinity for us to see the spiritual realm clearly.

Hebrews 12:2 “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Psalm 25:15 ” My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.”

5-114 FIX EYES

Romans 15:4 “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.”

The Scene: An open Bible– a gentle breeze blowing across the pages, representation of the Holy Spirit, as wind causing the pages of the Bible to turn.

There is no stronger force on earth than God’s Holy Word.

Deuteronomy 11:18 “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.”

John 20:30-31 “Jesus did many miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”

God has given His children His Word for all those in need, those who will hear His voice and call Him by His name, Jesus Christ.

Psalm 119:130 “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”

5-113 TIME OF NEED

The Scene: Symbolic hand of God with a spring of His living water, giving life to many flora and fauna abounding in the the spring waters.

Job 12:10 “In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.”

All creatures of the earth, all humankind, know and have felt the hand of our God.

John 10:27-30 ” ‘My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.’ “

God almighty is the Creator of all! Give Him your praises and honor Him.

Acts 17:25,28 “And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own people have said, ‘ We are his offspring.’ “

5-112 LIFE

Proverbs 12:22 “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.”

The Scene: Eleven open mouths–eleven being the Biblical number for judgment, disorder, imperfection, and disintegration.

Proverbs 6:16-19 “There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.”

James 3:8-9 “But no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.”

The tongue is one of the smallest parts of our body, but is the most powerful part of our body for speaking good or evil. We are called to speak the truth in love as led by the Holy Spirit. We are commanded by the holy Scriptures to speak neither gossip nor lies. Our God is a God of truth and we are to follow His example.

5-111 LYING

John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

The Scene: A sailboat with a tall masts, sailing slowly, peacefully, passing by the viewer. Listen to the quiet waters lapping against the hull of the sailboat as it cuts through the waters, driven by the gentle breezes.

A quiet time–be still and at rest! Take three deep breaths and let them out slowly! 1…2…3!

Colossians 3:15 “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”

When we are at peace is the time when we have our best opportunities to hear from God through His Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 32:17 ” The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.”

5-108 PEACE

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. “

The Scene: The bare mountain tops, that seemingly reach upward to the bright blue sky and touch the white puffy clouds that are drifting slowly through the peaks and range. Now is the time to rest, the scene is suggesting. There are those who need a Sabbath rest, but say they are too busy.

Mark 6:31 “Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’ “

Put yourself in timeout on a regular basis–take a Sabbath rest when you are weary and tired. Jesus Christ our Lord will restore you, bring you peace within. He is the God of all peace.

Hebrews 4:9-11 “There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience.”
