SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”~ Psalm 91:1

“Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”~ Psalm 91:9-11

* Most High -- El Elyon -- God's strength and sovereignty.

* Almighty -- El Shaddai -- protector of all.

* Lord -- YHWH--Yahweh -- meaning sacred, holy.

* God -- Elohim -- the first true God -- Thee God.

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice~ Psalm 63:7

The Game Of Life Is Not A Board Game

“Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.”

Voltaire (French Philosopher and Writer. One of the greatest of all French authors, 1694-1778)

What is life? Does this sound like a strange question to you? Of course we all know what is meant by the word "life", but how would you define it?

Do all living things move? Do they all eat and breathe? Even though we all seem to know what is meant by saying something is "alive", it's not very easy to describe what "life" is. It's almost as hard as describing where life came from.

1) Living things need to take in energy

2) Living things get rid of waste

3) Living things grow and develop

4) Living things respond to their environment

5) Living things reproduce and pass their traits onto their offspring

6) Over time, living things evolve (change slowly) in response to their environment

Therefore, in order for something to be considered to "have life" as we know it, it must possess these characteristics.

Throughout this blog I will be expressing what life means to me and who I believe gives life to all things. Please comment and leave your thoughts.
