By the sign of the rainbow God said,
he will not flood the world again so don`t dread

Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. If you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Tower of Babel and the burning Bush
The Tower of Babel Genesis 11:1-9
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech.” So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
The Burning Bush in Exodus 3
Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
Trees
Trees are more than green,
some are thick and some are lean.
They give us life giving breath,
without them we face death.
Trees come in many sizes,
short ones tall ones and many surprises.
They`re covered with stout bark,
some are light and some are dark.
The shade will sooth a harsh sun,
keep you from getting well done.
A tree will provide many fruits,
and many a delicious tasting juice.
Trees are more than pleasing to the eye,
they point to the heavens and the sky.
Once a single tree had great significance,
it was the owner of a great magnificence.
It was the giver of the knowledge of evil and good,
from its fruit if you ate you would eventually die understood.
But in his Son you can have life after death,
accept him and no worry about your last breath.
Salvation is Choice
Salvation isn`t just a word,
it`s a decision that shouldn’t be deferred.
You need to carefully consider it,
don`t just go by your human wit.
God says there is but one choice,
accept Gods Son and rejoice.
Don`t wait for time to pass,
don`t let it be an impasse.
You`ll miss eternal life with the Father,
and be stopped from going farther.
Your life will be in pain,
you`ll have missed all gain.
I pray you`ll not hesitate,
but accept it and celebrate.
God has given you a choice,
with his written voice.
He wants you as his adopted son,
so accept it and not the gift shun.
The Dog
What makes the dog so right,
you`ll be his delight.
He`ll follow you where ever you go,
on you will his attention he will bestow.
He`ll come to you at the slightest nod,
to him you will be his god.
If you are in danger,
he`ll protect you from any stranger.
He`ll lay at your side,
he`ll never from you hide.
He`ll wag his tail when he sees you,
he will follow you like a newborn ewe.
A dog is forever faithful,
and always playful.
Get yourself a pet,
he`ll be an important vignette.
Flowers
The flower has power,
its strength comes from showers.
So many colors,
that pleases many brothers.
They`re sent for many occasions,
the uses are amazing.
You see them at weddings,
as their beauty keeps spreading.
A gift to a loved one,
an emotion that is spun.
A field of flowers is peace,
they will your joy increase.
Get a flower today,
give someone a lifting ray.
Put joy in their heart,
and love you will impart.
Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a noble venture,
it enslaves you in a worrisome adventure.
But there is a cure,
a way to release it and be pure.
Forgiveness will free your heart,
and give you a fresh start.
You will not forget,
but will remove the regret.
Think why Jesus died,
he took your sins to him if you abide.
He forgives all your sin,
then your new life can begin.
Forgive anyone that causes you distress,
love them and you will be blessed.
Don`t hold on to any unforgiven thing,
forgive it and happiness it will bring.
Angels
Angels were present during creation,
br /> they were before Earths foundation.
Angels can`t die,
they were with God on high.
Angels don`t marry,
and they never tarry.
Angels are wise and intelligent,
and have great diligence.
Angels sing with joy when we repent,
and they are very immense.
Some angels did rebel,
and from heaven they fell.
They are flames of fire,
for God they do inspire.
They rejoice about salvation,
and get joyful elation.
God and Sin
God knew sin would conspire,
and to man it would catch on fire.
His plan was to conceive,
a people he would retrieve.
God would look at the heart,
those who seek him would be a start.
He did provide a way,
to bring in some that stray.
All are born into sin,
and all suffered chagrin.
He came in the flesh,
so he could their belief enmesh.
The gift is free,
Salvation is given with glee.
Their sins he would take,
on himself and remove heartache.
Now those that believe,
no longer grieve.
They will surely die,
then have eternal life on high.
So cast our belief in him,
and fill your life to the brim.
Thoughts about God
This chapter I will express my thoughts about God. To think about God isn`t an easy undertaking and requires a considerable amount of deep reasoning as I try to think why and how God is and what has done.
The concept that God has no beginning or ending is beyond a humans understanding and this process requires a great deal of faith and hope.
One third of the Bible is prophecy. To date hundreds of prophecies have been fulfilled just as the Bible said and these prophecies confirm that the Bible is the true written word of God through divine inspiration.
The intelligence of God is beyond human comprehension and his moral character is well beyond our capabilities to achieve. Love, forgiveness, grace, mercy, understanding, and patience are attributes of our creator that we can only strive for but will never attain his perfection.
Even after we join him in heaven we can never be fully as he is. God exists in three forms that are fully equal. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit all are the same one God. His Son is the way that God can directly communicate with his creation and the Holy Spirit is the there to assist and guide mankind.
My final thought is why did God create mankind? First you have to realize that mankind would eventually be in fellowship with his creator for an eternity! But not all of his creation would join him.
Many Angels rebelled and they lived in God’s presence and so mankind has rebelled rejecting the creator. I believe the main cause for the fall of the Angels is pride, the same for mankind and the sin of pride will result in all of the other sins that befall humans.
God in his infinite wisdom realized this and this is why he set in motion the plan of salvation for us. Born into sin mankind through free will can choose or reject God and this is the foundation for all of us here on earth. Love, faith, and hope are Gods greatest gift to us with love being the greatest.
Pride
Pride can be your downfall,
it can make you an outlaw.
Pride can lift you high,
can lead you awry.
Pride will remove humility,
and disrupt tranquility.
You will be full of yourself,
and lose the meaning of oneself.
The answer is to be humble,
then you won`t stumble.
Pride verses humble is the problem,
choose the wrong one and become a goblin.
Forget pride and choose humble,
then you won`t fall or stumble.
Saved but Sinning Again (Thoughts)
All who are saved are forgiven their sins past, present, and future and Jesus took all of these sins for our salvation. He knew the heavy burden of our sins and the evil that worked against us
Paul addressed this burden in Romans chapter 7 verses 14 -20: We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
We each accept salvation and we try to control the sinning that we have been forgiven for but many times we give into our sin and feel helpless afterward. God knows this and through his mercy and grace he continues to forgive us and the important thing about this is our remorse and our motive as we walk each day. Through prayer and the continual reading of God’s word we must rely on the Holy Spirit to continue to resist sin and grow in our salvation.
Praying
Praying is our hope,
it is our safety rope.
We try not to sin,
but sometimes we don`t win.
Our salvation is secure,
but we aren`t pure.
God knows our heart,
and he keeps giving us a fresh start.
We must pray each day,
the Holy spirit will help us not to stray.
Paul wrote about this plight,
and we must continue the fight.
The love of God is great,
he can keep us straight.
Walk with god and read his word,
and pray diligently and be heard.
Envy
Envy is no use,
you covet it but you`ll lose.
Be content you don`t need more,
just live and ignore.
Envy works up your thoughts,
it can tie you in knots.
You can with what you have subsist,
when you envy life will be missed.
Be thankful of how you’re blessed,
wanting more is a futile quest.
Many envy what others have,
they fume and worry and try to grab.
Material things don`t lift up your life,
these things can cause you strife.
Envy is best to avoid,
it`s better to ignore and not be annoyed.
Be content with what you possess,
don’t envy and don`t stress.
End Times
Are we in the end times,
many think so in their minds.
Many prophecies have been fulfilled,
God’s word the end times did he build.
Psalm 83 is yet to happen,
Israel’s neighbors will be caught napping.
They will be destroyed,
then there will be a void.
Isaiah 17 talks about Damascus,
the city will be reduced to ashes.
Ezekiel 38 mentions an alliance,
they will invade Israel in defiance.
They will seek spoils,
most likely Israel’s oil.
The alliance will be slaughtered,
God will move and their offensive altered.
These things will come to pass,
and the world as we know it will not last.
The Antichrist will appear,
the Tribulation will be near.
Then a miracle will happen in this mess,
the Rapture will occur I confess.
God’s church will be taken,
the believers will not be shaken.
A peace treaty with Israel will occur,
seven years will be the spur.
The Temple will be rebuilt,
there will be peace and security to the hilt.
These things will he usher in,
the Tribulation to punish sin.
But fear not those that believe,
your salvation is secure do not grieve.
Knocking at the Door
Who is knocking at the door,
is he rich or is he poor.
I sense that it is important,
he has a miracle endorsement.
I’ve heard the knock in the past,
I should answer at last.
I feel it is my last chance,
or I`ll miss this important dance.
My answer will be very clear,
the wrong answer will be severe.
The answer will determine my fate,
to tarry will be too late.
My loved ones tell me to open the door,
then if I accept my spirit will soar.
Answer and then say yes,
then I will have passed the test.
Jesus is knocking at the door,
if I don’t answer he will knock no more.
Throughout my life I did ignore,
