New Baby ;-)

I am so happy! One of my closest friends had her baby yesterday. Wow what an experience. The Lord is so faithful to us.

I was holding this little guy-who is not so little-in my arms and just marveling at the goodness of God. This baby already has his reflexes working and all of it is in order! He turns to the left or right searching for the breast so he can nurse..and he can feel cold and also reacts to loud, sudden noises. I looked at his eyes, ears, nose, fingers..and was in awe of the wisdom of our Father.

It got me to thinking....


If God can "think" and "create" the human frame and all its inner working parts...what CANT GOD DO? This was a very humbling moment to me. I have many but this one was really working in my heart. I sat there, at 3am this morning, with this bundle of joy close to my heart and thanked the Lord for who He is.


God is El Shaddai, the Breasted One, and He feeds us His nourishment from Heavenly Places. He looks down from on high and has tender mercies on that which He has created. His eyes are on the righteous and He is attentive to their cries. He answers our heart's cries and He orders the steps of His beloved. His thoughts towards us outnumber the grains of sands in the sea, and before my feet ever hit the ground in the morning, He has covered me with brand new mercies. He is faithful, loving, kind, slow to anger and abounding in grace and mercy. He is Daddy, Abba Father, and He is our Lord, also our Cloud by day and our Fire by night. Let all of His children lift up a shout of praise to His Heavenly Dwelling--for no good thing will He withold from those that love Him and are called according to His purposes.

Be blessed and encouraged..in the Lord, El Shaddai. May He hold you close in His arms.
