Isaiah 27:2-4______________________________
"2In that day sing ye unto her, a vineyard of red wine.3 I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together."
Verse 3 really stood out to me. It's talking about how much God cares about us. It says the Lord keeps us. He doesn't let us get out of His grip. Even if we wanted to get away from His wondrous love, we couldn't. It's just not possible. He will never stop loving us. It talks about how He figuratively waters us. He feeds us with His Word, the Bible, and He guides us with His wisdom. He will never lead us astray. There are many people and things in this world that will try to lead us down the wrong path. But God will never do that. He wants us to stay on the path He has planned for us because He knows that it is the best. The good Lord will never lead you astray.
This verse goes on to say that He won't let anything hurt us and He will keep watch over us day and night so that nothing will touch us. Don't ever forget the truths that God has set before us in these verses. He is always going to take care of you. There is no doubt about that! Don't ever forget His undying love for you!

"Sing about a fruitful
vineyard:
I, the Lord watch over
it; I water it continually.
I guard it day and night
so that no one may
harm it..."
This is me! I am that vineyard! I know I've read those verses before but somehow I didn't remember them. As soon as I read this passage the other night though I knew that I am God's vineyard. He watches over me and waters me continually. My purpose here is to bring forth fruit to His glory. I could not wait to share this with all of ya'll!! This is exciting! I may not have remembered it before, but I will never forget it now! Hopefully this newsletter has taught ya'll some things you didn't know before, and brought ya'll closer to God over the last few months. Hopefully I have brought forth fruit or at least planted seeds to bring glory to His name. But if I haven't, if none of you have learned anything from me, I have learned a LOT!
God is watching over me. He is teaching me new things every day!! And even when it seems like something bad has happened, if I respond to it in a way that pleases God, I will grow, and He will BE glorified!!

Philippians 1:20,21 - "According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
