COMFORTING BIRDS - DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com

COMFORTING BIRDS -  by DianaDee Osborne
31 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/


PARABLE:  
There are some scriptures that I hate. Oh, NOT that God GAVE them, but that He knew He NEEDED to, about us people & what Sin has done to His Wondrous world. One = Genesis 9:2. DID YOU KNOW? God actually TELLS us He made animals afraid of us. For safety...//.. 
 

Today I prayed this not be true: Tiny baby chickadee sat on the peanut feeder right by my door while I was at other end of deck-- now needed to go in. 
 
Years ago I created my "own birdsong" of "HEEee-RREE ..... birdie birdie birdie". 
 
Most migratory birds return to the place where they were born, 
 
and I truly think the wrens who nested in Christmas wreath by my front door for ~5 years know this song I'd invented as a Comforting Warning whenever I HAD to go out... & nearby cardinals, nuthatches..... 
 
GOD ANSWERED! Baby bird sat still but didn't seem afraid as I slipped thru door!

SO WHAT ??
How DELIGHTFUL it must be for God when He is among his animals & none fear Him. Psalm 148: They PRAISE Him! Jesus said that if no people praise God, "... If they kept quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!” -- Luke 19:40. As Grandmom would say, "Now THAT would be a sight to behold!"

What does LORD God say ?? 
Genesis 9,  God Named YHWH (see Isaiah 42:8 in Hebrew-- not "LORD") says:
So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.[fn] And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand.
 
Psalm 148


Prayer: 
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, not only invite but yearn for us Each to "plug in" to restore our souls with You...

Faithful Horses & US - DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com

Faithful Horses & US - by DianaDee Osborne
30 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:  
Horses are usually social. They don't like to be alone. Often VERY faithful to their humans, wanting to please, wanting to serve. BUT sometimes caretakers hired by distant owners just leave them out in pastures most of time.... Not caring to use each horse's God-given power, strength, and yearning to serve....//.. 
 
 SO WHAT ??
 

Even if we earnestly want to serve God in the pasture He's provided for now (often a church), sometimes caretakers don't ever care about using our God-given skills, strength, and yearning to serve. 
 
But God knows... and He tells us, "Peace. MY peace I give." 
 
Don't fret: Just offer your loving service, and God will either provide a place or say Wait..... and we can Trust His Plan.
 
 

What does LORD God say ?? 
Psalm 100:
Serve the LORD with gladness;Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Prayer: 
LORD, help me to WANT to serve You ... Help me to know HOW to serve You....
and help me to be PATIENT to wait when it seems that each way I've tried to serve You
did not accomplish anything much.  
I want what YOU want, my dear God of All.

QUEENS vs WE - by DianaDee Osborne

QUEENS vs WE - by DianaDee Osborne
 28 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:  
Like Philip reaching a Queen: this fascinating dream: Acts 8:27... In a huge hotel complex's store, an old lady was alone, looking lost. I walked to her, started chatting. We walked together looking at things and I gently encouraged her & showed I cared. Only then did I realize she was Queen Elizabeth -- and she was happy that I cared about HER & not her "importance".
 
 
 SO WHAT ??
Awoke thinking, "How cool if this were a prophecy message from God! -- That -- that I'd reach someone important & make a difference in this world."
 
BUT.... God has quickly slapped down THAT interpretation! >> 
His instant thought to me: 
EVERY PERSON WE REACH is IMPORTANT to God... 
We make a difference whether we comfort 
the Governor 
or the Janitor 
or the teenager we meet along our road.
.
What a JOY! .. 😉 ... God uses humble people who DON'T prioritize who we encourage & tell about God's Love, Plan for them-- and warnings that Save. YOU are important. THEY are important....

What does LORD God say ?? 
Matthew 25:40, Jesus speaking: The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

Prayer: 
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
Please forgive me when I "judge" whether someone is more important....
when I think I should decide who needs more of my time and words versus others.
Please give me wisdom to know what's right -- James 1:5 --
and discipline me when I start getting prideful. I need YOUR help to be humble.

UTTERMOST GOD - by DianaDee Osborne

UTTERMOST GOD - by DianaDee Osborne

26 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:  
UTTERMOST is a WONDER-MOST word! 
 Fascinating fun dream of again teaching youth: Told them we were going to play a board game that they would love (really), but I was NOT going to tell them a secret about it until they had. Eagerly they asked for clues. And THIS was the word I used, joyfully telling them, 
 
"You'll learn that God "is able to save to the UTTERMOST!-- to save YOU!". 
 
 SO WHAT ?? 
The SECRET I did not yet share: You CAN"T WIN this game
Even when it looks like you are..... Which is true of Life: 
Even if you get riches, fame, perfect health-- at some point you die. 
100% chance of leaving this world as you know it....
 

 
THEN I FINISHED God's promise in Hebrews 7:25... 
 
 
What does LORD God say ??  
 
God saves "to the Uttermost those who COME to God through Him
 [The only Savior -- Jesus --- , 
 who always lives to make intercession for them." ....
 
Jesus  Loves us -- YOU --  enough to ALWAYS be praying to God Himself for us!....

 
Thus the point of that Board Game that God "dreamed up for me" in the setting He knows I have dearly loved & missed ---- In Life With our Savior who brings us to GOD -- the ONLY One, Who is Named YHWH (Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew, 6k times in Bible)....  
We CANNOT LOSE!

Prayer: 
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, not only invite but yearn for us Each to "plug in" to restore our souls with You... That You CARE about each of us, even while the Stars & Rocks & Animals & Oceans &&& all Praise You as Creator of All !  Thank you..... Humbly, I thank You.........

TATTOO & ENGRAVED - by DianaDee Osborne

TATTOO & ENGRAVED - by DianaDee Osborne

25 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:  
At ALIVE festival in OH around 2006, I was chatting with guy setting up Soundboard in rear booth for next band (when he took break) about his wide tattoo on left finger. He said it was his wedding band, & laughed when I replied, "Now THAT is commitment!"... Soon as the band started, I learned --- he was guitarist for famous Christian band Audio Adrenaline. 

SO WHAT ??
... GOD DOES NOT need a Tattoo to remind Him 
to Keep His Promises, His Commitments to you 
if you Honor Him-- 
Because God has ALREADY ENGRAVED 
all His people who honor Him ON HIS HAND... 
Isaiah 49:16 Israel + Romans 11, "grafted in" people who Believe & Honor Him. 
SUCH JOY! PEACE!
 

What does LORD God say ??    Isaiah 49
13 Sing, O heavens!Be joyful, O earth!And break out in singing, O mountains!For the LORD has comforted His people,And will have mercy on His afflicted. God Will Remember Zion. 
14 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me,
And my Lord has forgotten me.”​ 
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?Surely they may forget,Yet I will not forget you.
16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; .....Your walls are continually before Me."
 
ISAIAH 49 was written for Israel the Nation, God's people chosen to SHOW HIM to all other nations.... 
yet it also applies to all who CALL UPON HIM as LORD --- who He thus
Grafts in to be His People.... See Romans 11 & be comforted
both in God's invitation to GENTILES (also in Isaiah 56), but also
by God's promise that He forgives & saves ALL humble people incl. all of Israel who return to Him.
 
Prayer: 
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, not only invite but yearn for us Each to
return to You despite our sins.... Please forgive us...
Thank you for "engraving on Your palm" like a PERMANENT WEDDING RING tattoo
Your promised reminder: You are our God and we are Yours if we accept You.

Baby Birds Comfort - by DianaDee Osborne

Baby Birds Comfort - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting:       24 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:  
My brain finally awoke enough to realize that constant noise this AM was a bird in the holly inches from bed. Peeked out. Tiny baby girl cardinal. More peeping-- baby wren on another branch. 
 
SO WHAT ??   
God gives COMFORT thru reminders of His care
 for the darling birds He made for our joy despite Life's sadnesses.


Fascinating Facts in this article: Did you know cardinals mate for life? Or that FOOD affects how red males are?   SEE   https://www.worldbirds.org/cardinal-bird-facts/...

What does LORD JESUS  say ?? 

Matthew 10:
28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.  
 
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  
 
31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
(Luke 12:8, 9 )
 
32 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

Prayer: 
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, CARE
about EACH of us.... LOVE us despite our sins, so that You URGE us
to give up sins that destroy us and RUN TO YOU to be saved-- James 4:7-8
and First John's book.... Please help us to remember these TRUTHs You've given
in Your Word along with Your promises of Loving Care.

Just One More Good Work - by DianaDee Osborne

Just One More Good Work - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting:       21 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:  
Grandmom would say "a few eggs short of a dozen" if we said something dumb. 
Dad's phrase was "A few cards short

of a full deck." 
 
Being "short" of something can be ok--
 often there's a "workround" that gets us to our Goal. 
But Not about good works getting us to Heaven.
There's always ONE MORE STEP.......
 
If we go to the store with $900 to buy a desk but it costs $900.01 ... 
no-- we don't receive the desk. Unless someone graces us with a penny gift. 
The cost of our sins is always "one more" for infinity. 
Jesus's grace to those who humbly accept it is always the only payment that's enough to "receive heaven". YET GOD! >>>
.

SO WHAT ??
A simple insufficient parable, but another seed idea to explain why good deeds are never ever going to be enough, even if we did a million. YET GOD gives us Complete Hope thru His Messiah Son He's sent who offers that Payment for Sin to ALL who will accept it.

What does LORD God say ?? 
See the JOY of 2nd Peter 3:8-9 and all 3 Letters of First John, especially Book 1 Chapter 1 >> https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/1jo/1/1/s_1160001
 
 2nd Peter 3:9  "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, NOT (NOT!) willing that ANY {ANY ONE of us) should perish but that all should come to repentance...... https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/2pe/3/1/s_1159001
 
But there's
SIMPLY NO WAY  for us to do enough Good works to pay for our sins.... Not even one, for they are EACH an abomination to Holy God.
   
Prayer: 
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
Help me learn to BELIEVE Your words that ONLY Your Messiah can save me....
 
It's the "modern way" to think we can eventually do enough to earn the reward.
Help me to see that I'm always "a penny short" of paying for my sins..... 
                            for infinity.
And that Jesus GLADLY has already paid the penalty for our sins -- if we humbly accept His Truth.

Evil Hidden Weeds - by DianaDee Osborne

EVIL HIDDEN WEEDS - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting:       21 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/

PARABLE:  
Beautiful green blades shooting up in friend's yard look like lush grass. 
I learned long ago that they're nasty sharp BURRs  
that spread "like crazy" if ignored. 
 
So I warned her-- 
and now it's up to her whether to pull them out. 

SO WHAT ??
God calls us to LEARN truth -- 
& then HELP others. And to be humble enough to 
 
(1)  step back if person disagrees, and to
(2) LISTEN when others take time to to teach us   what THEY've learned. 
 
We can always research for ourselves-- like the Bereans did for all of Paul's sermons about Jesus being Messiah. (Acts 17:11). 
 
WE MUST BEWARE OF EVIL WEEDS EVEN IN "CHURCH" 
("synagogue" = "gathering together place") 
And pray for God's WISDOM to know which people are like EVIL BURRS, and which speak Truth.

What does LORD God say ??  -- ACTS 17  EVIL WEEDS IN  the "church"
After hearing about Jesus as Messiah  ....
But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious,[OTHERS IGNORING THEM] 
took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and
 gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, 
and sought to bring them out to the people. But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, 
“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.   >>>
 
[THEN THESE "EVIL WEEDS"  LIED: ]
 
Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, 
saying there is another king—Jesus.”  
 
And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things....
 
10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea
When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.  
 
11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and 
searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.  
12 Therefore many of them believed,                [those within the synagogue - vs 10]
and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.  
13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the
 word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds.

Prayer: 
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
Help me to know TRUTH.... Help US to know TRUTH.... to know which people are like
EVIL THORNY WEEDS seeking to destroy or hurt us.... Just because they want to.
We pray James 1:5 for wisdom. We run from lies and TO You, God:  James 4: 7-8.

Time Usage & Geniuses - by DianaDee Osborne

Time Usage & Geniuses - by DianaDee Osborne

DATE of posting:       17 May 2021            SUBSCRIBE  
https://www.facebook.com/dianadee.osborne/


PARABLE:  
HOW ARE YOU DOING in Time Usage?.... God saved me from a driver hitting me head on at 65 mph because he couldn't wait a few minutes before his DON'T PASS yellow line ended so he could see IF the lane was clear past the coming curve... and I proved it was not... And GOD proved He Saves. 
 

Thanking Him! And remembering... 
My time, Our time, is NOT unlimited on Earth. . 
What MORE COULD we do if we stopped wasting time? . 
 
Fascinating article about 40 people defined by estimated IQ tests as 
"Smartest People of All Time". 
 
Lot of sadnesses in it though, showing    
poor life choices of TIME USAGE
aren't limited to those of us who feel especially Dumb after articles like this. 
 
WORST: Leonardo da Vinci was perhaps the most diversely talented person to have ever lived... 
IQ scores range from 180 to 220 ... 
one of the most celebrated painters in history, 
revered for his technological innovations like flying machines, armored vehicles, solar power, adding machines.    ..............

BUT: ......Da Vinci was a chronic procrastinator. SO he  finished few of his designs.

SO WHAT ??
2nd Corinthians 5: 9-10, people who have accepted Jesus as savior aren't fretting about Judgment + Salvation.... but often FORGET that 
there's another Judgment-- 
of what we did with our  TIME:


 
 
What does LORD God say ?? 
 " Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, 
that each one may receive the things done in the body, 
according to what he has DONE, whether good or bad."  -  2nd Corinthians 5: 9-10
 
First Corinthians 3:
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.  
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  
 
12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,  
13 each one’s work will become clear; 
for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; 
and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.  
 
14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.  
15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; 
but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

Prayer: 
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, not only invite but yearn for us Each to "plug in" to restore our souls with You...
