Beatle songs: Strawberry Fields Forever

 Beatle songs: Strawberry Fields Forever by ric gustafson

While John was acting in a movie in the autumn of 1966, he began to compose a song. He wanted to write a slow talking blues number. Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army orphanage five minutes from his home. On walks with his aunt Mimi, they would walk by this huge Victorian building. The wooded grounds of this place became a magical playground for John and his friends. With his lost childhood, this place became bliss to him. The song was released in Feb 1967

This song and ' Penny Lane' were on a double A side. They were not on the new album. That album was ' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'.

Gabriel and the young angel listened as Jesus talked to his disciples.

" Do not worry about your daily needs".

The disciples smiled.

" Learn from the flowers of the field". He smiled. " They do not toil or spin".

Simon Peter grinned. " Master, not to labor or toil is good news".

Mary smiled at Jesus's feet.

Martha, in the kitchen preparing a meal, was getting upset because her sister was not helping her.

Jesus again looked with love at his disciples. " Learn a lesson from the flowers of the field".

All of a sudden, a frustrated Martha was standing next to Jesus.

" Master, are you not concerned that my sister does not help me with this meal?". She looked sternly at Mary. " Tell her to get up and help me".

" You are right Martha". He smiled. " You should not have to prepare this meal alone".

After the meal, Jesus helped the two ststers clean up.

Fear: he will make my paths straight

 Fear: he will make my paths straight by ric gustafson

God has a plan and an outline for our life. Satan the Accuser tries to convince us that God will be a no show in our life. He wants us to doubt his power and love. Satan tries to derail God's plan for us. Proverbs 3:6 says that he will make your paths straight.

When we cry out to God, he hears us. God works all things in our favor. God has us right where he wants us. Praise God's name.

Fear: I will acknowledge him

 Fear: I will acknowledge him by ric gustafson

It is easy for our spiritual life to erode. Reading Scripture could get stale. Prayer could get stale. We could start to avoid the Holy Spirit. It is tempting for spiritual laziness.

The truth is God has a big bold plan for our life. As a child of God, we are asked of one thing. According to Proverbs 3:6, we need to wake up each day and acknowledge God. We were created to live for God. The Holy Spirit will help us. God loves us more than anything else.
