(Note: I just want to make very, very clear that the castle you have and will see in several of my Bible journal drawings is one I have been drawing for around 35 years. In no way is it meant to represent any of the Disney castles, as I do not support Disney.  I think at the time I first drew it, I had only been inspired by a book on medieval castles, but I cannot remember which one.)

(Psalm 48:1-3) Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. / Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. / God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before Him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. / Fear before Him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. / Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth. / Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. / Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth. / O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

1 Samuel 15:22-23 & 16:7

Sorry for the poor-quality photos; I am still trying to get the camera to work right in lower light as it tends to be cloudy here a lot.

(1 Samuel 15:22-23) And Samuel said, "Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee..."

(1 Samuel 16:7) But the Lord said unto Samuel, "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."

And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him. And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, "Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?" And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

Note: I will be posting the story of Balaam and these scriptures in my next post.

God allowed a donkey to see an angel and then speak to Balaam.  When God uses miraculous signs, we had better pay attention! (See Numbers 22:20-35) 

(Numbers 32:23) Be sure your sin will find you out.
