    Chapter 4

    1 And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

    2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

    3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

    4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

    5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

    6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

    7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

    8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

    9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

    11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

    12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

    13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

    14 The sower soweth the word.

    15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

    16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

    17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

    18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

    19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

    20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

    21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

    22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

    23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

    24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

    25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

    26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

    27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

    28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

    29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

    30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

    31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

    32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

    33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.

    34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

    35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

    36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

    37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

    38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

    39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

    40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

    41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

  • Song of the Red Stone Cave

    In the red stone cave where the echoes sleep,
    An old song rises from the canyon deep.
    A flute is lifted to the twilight’s ear—
    Its trembling breath calls the spirits near.

    Beside the player, the wolf stands tall,
    Its silver voice answering the musical call.
    Two songs woven like threads of night—
    One born of earth, one born of light.

    The elders say when silence breaks,
    And the heart remembers the path it takes,
    The flute becomes a river of air,
    Carrying prayers to the ones who care.

    The wolf, the guardian of shadowed ways,
    Sings the truth of forgotten days—
    Of moons that guided the hunter’s stride,
    Of dreams where ancestors walk beside.

    Together they stand where worlds align,
    Where mortal breath meets the sacred sign.
    The notes swirl up in a mystic fire,
    Lifting the soul like a funeral pyre.

    Oh traveler, listen—do not fear:
    This is the place where the veil grows clear.
    Where music mends what time tore through,
    And every howl remembers you.

  • Song of Solomon
    Chapter 4

    1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

    2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

    3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

    4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

    5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

    6 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

    7 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

    8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

    9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

    10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!

    11 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

    12 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.

    13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,

    14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

    15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

    16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

  • Song of Solomon
    Chapter 2

    1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

    2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

    3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

    4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

    5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

    6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

    7 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

    8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

    9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

    10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

    11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

    12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

    13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

    14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

    15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

    16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

    17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

  • Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, November 15

    "Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us." Psalm 68:28

    It is our wisdom, as well as our necessity, to beseech God continually to strengthen that which He has wrought in us. It is because of their neglect in this, that many Christians may blame themselves for those trials and afflictions of spirit which arise from unbelief. It is true that Satan seeks to flood the fair garden of the heart and make it a scene of desolation, but it is also true that many Christians leave open the sluice-gates themselves, and let in the dreadful deluge through carelessness and want of prayer to their strong Helper. We often forget that the Author of our faith must be the Preserver of it also. The lamp which was burning in the temple was never allowed to go out, but it had to be daily replenished with fresh oil; in like manner, our faith can only live by being sustained with the oil of grace, and we can only obtain this from God Himself. Foolish virgins we shall prove, if we do not secure the needed sustenance for our lamps. He who built the world upholds it, or it would fall in one tremendous crash; He who made us Christians must maintain us by His Spirit, or our ruin will be speedy and final. Let us, then, evening by evening, go to our Lord for the grace and strength we need. We have a strong argument to plead, for it is His own work of grace which we ask Him to strengthen- "that which Thou hast wrought for us." Think you He will fail to protect and sustain that? Only let your faith take hold of His strength, and all the powers of darkness, led on by the master fiend of hell, cannot cast a cloud or shadow over your joy and peace. Why faint when you may be strong? Why suffer defeat when you may conquer? Oh! take your wavering faith and drooping graces to Him who can revive and replenish them, and earnestly pray, "Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us."

  • Ecclesiastes
    Chapter 8

    1 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

    2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

    3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

    4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

    5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.

    6 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

    7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?

    8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.

    9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.

    10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.

    11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

    12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:

    13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

    14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

    15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

    16 When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)

    17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
    Ecclesiastes Chapter 8 1 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed. 2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. 3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. 4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. 6 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. 7 For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be? 8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. 9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. 10 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity. 11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: 13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God. 14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity. 15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. 16 When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:) 17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

  • Believer, yesterday morning I encouraged you to “walk in Him” (Col. 2:6). But what does it mean to walk in Christ? It is a walk of faith, not being moved by our circumstances, but by knowing the One who is faithful regardless of our situation. And that faith leads to obedience, obedience to that which Christ taught.

    One of the most important teachings of Christ to His disciples is recorded for us in John 13:34-35 - “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

    The love expressed here is God’s ἀγάπη (agape) love. This is not romantic love, nor is it simple brotherly love; this is love that seeks what is best for the object of that love. Unlike the world’s definition of love, which expects that the one being loved should be accepted for whom he or she is, agape love rejoices in truth (1 Cor. 13:6). In this way, agape love is more difficult than worldly love, because it requires of us an honesty that can cut to the bone.

    Yet it is to this honest love that we are called. It is not loving to leave someone wallowing in sin. It is not loving to allow someone to run headlong toward destruction, whether immediate or eternal. It is not loving to lie in order to spare someone’s feelings when that lie leaves him at odds with God.

    For the unsaved, the most loving thing we can do is preach the gospel.

    To our brethren, the most loving thing we can do is be bold in truth. Yet there is more. If we see our brethren in need, we should meet that need, not merely loving in word but in deed (1 Jn. 3:18; Jas. 2:14-17). We should seek to encourage one another, to build one another up in the faith, to “stimulate one another to love and good deeds” (Heb. 10:24-25). In doing all these things, we will, as Jesus exhorted in Jn. 13:34-35, show ourselves to be His disciples.

    "So walk ye in Him." Colossians 2:6

    If we have received Christ Himself in our inmost hearts, our new life will manifest its intimate acquaintance with Him by a walk of faith in Him. Walking implies action. Our religion is not to be confined to our closet; we must carry out into practical effect that which we believe. If a man walks in Christ, then he so acts as Christ would act; for Christ being in him, his hope, his love, his joy, his life, he is the reflex of the image of Jesus; and men say of that man, "He is like his Master; he lives like Jesus Christ." Walking signifies progress. "So walk ye in Him"; proceed from grace to grace, run forward until you reach the uttermost degree of knowledge that a man can attain concerning our Beloved. Walking implies continuance. There must be a perpetual abiding in Christ. How many Christians think that in the morning and evening they ought to come into the company of Jesus, and may then give their hearts to the world all the day: but this is poor living; we should always be with Him, treading in His steps and doing His will. Walking also implies habit. When we speak of a man's walk and conversation, we mean his habits, the constant tenour of his life. Now, if we sometimes enjoy Christ, and then forget Him; sometimes call Him ours, and anon lose our hold, that is not a habit; we do not walk in Him. We must keep to Him, cling to Him, never let Him go, but live and have our being in Him. "As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him"; persevere in the same way in which ye have begun, and, as at the first Christ Jesus was the trust of your faith, the source of your life, the principle of your action, and the joy of your spirit, so let Him be the same till life's end; the same when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and enter into the joy and the rest which remain for the people of God. O Holy Spirit, enable us to obey this heavenly precept.
    Believer, yesterday morning I encouraged you to “walk in Him” (Col. 2:6). But what does it mean to walk in Christ? It is a walk of faith, not being moved by our circumstances, but by knowing the One who is faithful regardless of our situation. And that faith leads to obedience, obedience to that which Christ taught. One of the most important teachings of Christ to His disciples is recorded for us in John 13:34-35 - “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” The love expressed here is God’s ἀγάπη (agape) love. This is not romantic love, nor is it simple brotherly love; this is love that seeks what is best for the object of that love. Unlike the world’s definition of love, which expects that the one being loved should be accepted for whom he or she is, agape love rejoices in truth (1 Cor. 13:6).

  • The Christian life is one of walking in Christ. Jesus taught that whoever wishes to come after Him must deny himself and daily take up his cross and follow (Lk. 9:23). Paul himself said that he had been crucified with Christ, and that he no longer lived, but Christ lived in him (Gal. 2:20). This is the lot of the one who has received Christ Jesus the Lord (Col. 2:6).

    So then brethren, let us walk in Him. Let us be build up in Him. Let us be established in our faith. We do can do this by hiding God’s word in our heart (Ps. 119:9-11), by praying for one another, and by gathering together, encouraging one another, and stimulating one another to love and good deeds (Heb. 10:24-25).

    Only in this way may we pursue “the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord” (Heb. 12:14). Only in this way can we put to death the flesh and the sin that dwells in our members (Rom. 7:23). We must walk in the spirit so that we may crucify the flesh and its desires (Gal. 5:16-24).

    So then, believer, just as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him (Col. 2:6).

    "As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord." Colossians 2:6

    The life of faith is represented as receiving- an act which implies the very opposite of anything like merit. It is simply the acceptance of a gift. As the earth drinks in the rain, as the sea receives the streams, as night accepts light from the stars, so we, giving nothing, partake freely of the grace of God. The saints are not, by nature, wells, or streams, they are but cisterns into which the living water flows; they are empty vessels into which God pours His salvation. The idea of receiving implies a sense of realization, making the matter a reality. One cannot very well receive a shadow; we receive that which is substantial: so is it in the life of faith, Christ becomes real to us. While we are without faith, Jesus is a mere name to us- a person who lived a long while ago, so long ago that His life is only a history to us now! By an act of faith Jesus becomes a real person in the consciousness of our heart. But receiving also means grasping or getting possession of. The thing which I receive becomes my own: I appropriate to myself that which is given. When I receive Jesus, He becomes my Saviour, so mine that neither life nor death shall be able to rob me of Him. All this is to receive Christ- to take Him as God's free gift; to realize Him in my heart, and to appropriate Him as mine.

    Salvation may be described as the blind receiving sight, the deaf receiving hearing, the dead receiving life; but we have not only received these blessings, we have received CHRIST JESUS Himself. It is true that He gave us life from the dead. He gave us pardon of sin; He gave us imputed righteousness. These are all precious things, but we are not content with them; we have received Christ Himself. The Son of God has been poured into us, and we have received Him, and appropriated Him. What a heartful Jesus must be, for heaven itself cannot contain Him!

  • Come to Me, When the Forest Sleeps

    Come to me,
    when the forest no longer breathes,
    when the rivers forget their names,
    and the wind no longer remembers your song.

    Do not fear, my brother of the moonlight,
    For my fire still burns
    a small flame against the dark,
    waiting for your shadow to return.

    Lay your head upon my knees.
    I will sing you the old songs.
    the ones our ancestors wove
    from the breath of dawn and the cry of wolves.

    No hunter will touch you here.
    No sorrow will chase your spirit.
    Here, under Grandmother Moon,
    You are home again.

  • The Circle of Light

    Three women stand where twilight breathes,
    Their robes of dusk and dawn entwined.
    Between their hands, a gentle fire —
    a spark of life, serene, divine.

    The glow they hold is more than flame,
    It is the pulse of all that’s known:
    the laughter born, the tears reclaimed,
    the seed of earth, the spirit’s home.

    Their halos hum like suns reborn.
    Their shadows weave through violet skies.
    They are the dream before the day,
    the mothers of all lullabies.

    No crown of gold, no earthly claim —
    just light and love in sacred tone.
    For in their palms the universe turns,
    and every soul remembers home.

    Artist & narrator: Elvis Becker

  • Believer, in the light of Christ, we see light (Ps. 36:9). This passage is echoed by John, when he writes, “in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men” (Jn. 1:4).

    Jesus is our light who guides us through the darkness. Living in a fallen world bring trial and tribulation, but we are not unable to see our way. For His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Ps. 119:105).

    Jesus Himself exclaimed to His disciples, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life” (Jn. 8:12). Therefore, let us walk in the light He provides while we are here.

    Let us also look forward to that day when we will see His light unhindered by this mortal world. For when we enter into His kingdom, we “will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine” us (Rev. 22:5). Hallelujah!

    "In Thy light shall we see light." Psalm 36:9

    No lips can tell the love of Christ to the heart till Jesus Himself shall speak within. Descriptions all fall flat and tame unless the Holy Ghost fills them with life and power; till our Immanuel reveals Himself within, the soul sees Him not. If you would see the sun, would you gather together the common means of illumination, and seek in that way to behold the orb of day? No, the wise man knoweth that the sun must reveal itself, and only by its own blaze can that mighty lamp be seen. It is so with Christ. "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona:" said He to Peter, "for flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto thee." Purify flesh and blood by any educational process you may select, elevate mental faculties to the highest degree of intellectual power, yet none of these can reveal Christ. The Spirit of God must come with power, and overshadow the man with His wings, and then in that mystic holy of holies the Lord Jesus must display Himself to the sanctified eye, as He doth not unto the purblind sons of men. Christ must be His own mirror. The great mass of this blear-eyed world can see nothing of the ineffable glories of Immanuel. He stands before them without form or comeliness, a root out of a dry ground, rejected by the vain and despised by the proud. Only where the Spirit has touched the eye with eye-salve, quickened the heart with divine life, and educated the soul to a heavenly taste, only there is He understood. "To you that believe He is precious"; to you He is the chief corner-stone, the Rock of your salvation, your all in all; but to others He is "a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence." Happy are those to whom our Lord manifests Himself, for His promise to such is that He will make His abode with them. O Jesus, our Lord, our heart is open, come in, and go out no more for ever. Show Thyself to us now! Favour us with a glimpse of Thine all-conquering charms.

  • Whispers of the Sky and Earth

    High above the mountain crest,
    Eagle soars where spirits rest.
    Eyes of wisdom, vast and wide,
    Guiding the people, the river, the tide.

    Beneath the moon, in forest deep,
    Wolf’s song stirs where shadows sleep.
    A call of loyalty, fierce and true,
    Binding the tribe like morning dew.

    Sky and earth, a sacred thread,
    Through eagle’s flight and wolf’s tread.
    Together they guard, together they roam,
    Two spirits united, one eternal home.

  • Believer, how wonderful is it that we have an unchanging God? (Mal. 3:16) He is not capricious, as the gods of many religions. He does not lie, nor does He need to repent as do men (Num. 23:19).

    No, with our God there is no variation or shifting shadow (Jas. 1:17). He is God who is from eternity past and will remain so for eternity to come.

    Others in this world have their gods. Whether their worship be directed at self, at government, at unseen spiritual forces, they serve fickle gods, inconsistent, unpredictable phantoms who change their minds at a whim.

    There is no god like our God (1 Ki. 8:23). He is the Lord and there is no other God besides Him (Isa. 45:5). And so our savior is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8).

    Praise Him that He is unchanging! Let your faith be strengthened in this knowledge. For hope in a changing god is sure to wax and wane, but faith in the unchanging - that brings hope immovable!

    "I am the Lord, I change not." Malachi 3:6

    It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, and on whose brow mutability can make no furrows. All things else have changed- all things are changing. The sun itself grows dim with age; the world is waxing old; the folding up of the worn-out vesture has commenced; the heavens and earth must soon pass away; they shall perish, they shall wax old as doth a garment; but there is One who only hath immortality, of whose years there is no end, and in whose person there is no change. The delight which the mariner feels, when, after having been tossed about for many a day, he steps again upon the solid shore, is the satisfaction of a Christian when, amidst all the changes of this troublous life, he rests the foot of his faith upon this truth- "I am the Lord, I change not."

    The stability which the anchor gives the ship when it has at last obtained a hold-fast, is like that which the Christian's hope affords him when it fixes itself upon this glorious truth. With God "is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." What ever His attributes were of old, they are now; His power, His wisdom, His justice, His truth, are alike unchanged. He has ever been the refuge of His people, their stronghold in the day of trouble, and He is their sure Helper still. He is unchanged in His love. He has loved His people with "an everlasting love"; He loves them now as much as ever He did, and when all earthly things shall have melted in the last conflagration, His love will still wear the dew of its youth. Precious is the assurance that He changes not! The wheel of providence revolves, but its axle is eternal love.

    Death and change are busy ever,
    Man decays, and ages move;
    But His mercy waneth never;
    God is wisdom, God is love.
    Believer, how wonderful is it that we have an unchanging God? (Mal. 3:16) He is not capricious, as the gods of many religions. He does not lie, nor does He need to repent as do men (Num. 23:19).

Malachi 3:6 It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, and on whose brow mutability can make no furrows. All things else have changed- all things are changing. The sun itself grows dim with age; the world is waxing old; the folding up of the worn-out vesture has commenced; the heavens and earth must soon pass away; they shall perish, they shall wax old as doth a garment; but there is One who only hath immortality, of whose years there is no end, and in whose person there is no change. The delight which the mariner feels, when, after having been tossed about for many a day, he steps again upon the solid shore, is the satisfaction of a Christian when, amidst all the changes of this troublous life, he rests the foot of his faith upon this truth- "I am the Lord, I change not." The stability which the anchor gives the ship when it has at last obtained a hold-fast, is like that which the Christian's hope affords him when it fixes itself upon this glorious truth. With God "is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." What ever His attributes were of old, they are now; His power, His wisdom, His justice, His truth, are alike unchanged. He has ever been the refuge of His people, their stronghold in the day of trouble, and He is their sure Helper still. He is unchanged in His love. He has loved His people with "an everlasting love"; He loves them now as much as ever He did, and when all earthly things shall have melted in the last conflagration, His love will still wear the dew of its youth. Precious is the assurance that He changes not! The wheel of providence revolves, but its axle is eternal love. Death and change are busy ever, Man decays, and ages move; But His mercy waneth never; God is wisdom, God is love.

  • Mother Bear’s Promise

    Come closer, little one,
    rest your nose against mine.
    I am the warmth in the cave,
    the heartbeat beneath the pines.

    Your paws are small,
    but they carry the blood of rivers,
    the strength of mountains,
    the memory of stars.

    When you stumble,
    I will steady you.
    When you hunger,
    I will share the roots of my spirit,
    the honey of my soul.

    The winds will call your name,
    The earth will guide your steps,
    The Great Spirit watches above,
    But it is my shadow
    that will shelter you first.

    I give you my courage,
    I give you my breath,
    and as long as my spirit lingers
    in the song of the forest—
    You will never be alone.

  • The Woman Who Speaks to the Moon

    She stands where silence meets the sky,
    draped in the breath of midnight hues.
    The water holds her secret shape,
    a mirror of what once was true.
    Her shawl—woven with the hands of time—
    glows faintly like a prayer reborn.
    Each thread remembers songs of earth,
    each bead, the echo of the dawn.
    The moon leans close to hear her heart,
    Its silver tears fall on the lake.
    Between her and the trembling stars,
    the old ones stir, the spirits wake.
    She does not speak in mortal tongue,
    yet mountains listen when she dreams.
    For she is keeper of the still,
    and through her, night remembers gleam.
    In her shadow, the world grows quiet—
    The forest bows, the rivers sigh.
    For she is not just a woman standing,
    but memory walking through the sky.

  • Born from the White Bison’s Dream

    I was born from the breath of dawn,
    When the White Bison dreamed beneath the sky—
    His spirit stirred the sleeping plains,
    And whispered life into my sigh.
    Feathers fell like sacred snow,
    Each one a prayer, each one a flame;
    The rivers sang the songs of old,
    And called my spirit by its name.
    I walk where thunder meets the bone,
    Where mountain shadows learn to pray;
    The wind braids secrets in my hair,
    And paints the stories of the day.
    The stars remember every step,
    Their silver eyes, eternal, keen—
    They saw the birth of buffalo fire,
    They guard the hearts of those unseen.
    White smoke rises from the ground,
    Carrying voices to the sky’s wide seam—
    And still I wander, still I breathe,
    Born from the White Bison’s dream.

  • The Dance of the Sun

    Her dress is fire, her spirit flame,
    She moves — the Earth will speak her name.
    Each step, a prayer beneath the skies,
    Each turn, a sunrise in her eyes.

    Feathers drift like whispered song,
    Where light and shadow both belong.
    She dances not for praise or art,
    But for the healing of the heart.

  • When the Wind Remembers My Name

    I close my eyes,
    and the earth hums beneath my skin
    the song of rivers winding through bone,
    the whisper of mountains resting in my chest.

    The wind carries stories older than words,
    it tangles gently in my hair,
    telling me that I am still her child
    born of soil, breath, and flame.

    I hear the river’s slow heartbeat,
    the rhythm my ancestors once walked to.
    Their shadows drift with the water,
    their prayers bloom between each ripple.

    Mother Earth holds me
    in her endless arms of dusk and dawn.
    Even in silence,
    I am home.
