FLOWER OF THE FIELD CONSTELLATION
You may also read a series of shorter articles. Just click here… “March 19th (As the Flower of the Field!)”
.
.
.
.
.
.
This is perhaps one of the most amazing constellations that God has created! It truly looks like a flower, and appears to be blowing in the direction of westward. But as autumn draws near, this constellation appears to bow itself down, just like the flowers of Earth bow down, at the summer’s end.
.
And these are not merely obscure stars! No! These are among the biggest and brightest stars in the night heavens!
.
The Two Turtle-Doves Constellation is also known as Sagittarius .
.
The Flower of the Field is commonly known as Scorpio .
.
But there is another obvious aspect to this constellation group. Notice that the birds are flying in the same direction as the flower is bending; it is as if the east wind is blowing these heavenly messengers…
.
“The wind blows where it desires, and you hear the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8.
.
So here is another incredible Bible concept, written in the heavens! And God has spoken of these signs! Listen… “For ever, O LORD, Thy Word is settled in heaven.” Psalm 119:89
.
THE ZODIAC CONSTELLATION NAMES
By the way, it is not the purpose of www.theheavensdeclare.net to give any validity to the Zodiac or any pagan deities. But the common names of many constellations must be given, solely for the purpose of locating them on star-charts.
.
.
.
.
.
WHY IS THIS FLOWER POINTING UPWARD?
.
To the right is a star-chart from Wikipedia. The editor of this site has sketched in the Flower of the Field Constellation on this constellation commonly referred to as the Scorpio Constellation (plus a few other close-by bright stars).
.
Do you see the long blade of grass growing from the base of the Flower of the Field? This grass blade is made of the two highest stars of the Lupus Constellation, and the two lowest stars of the Libra Constellation.
.
As this Wikipedia star-chart shows, the flower appears to be pointing to Arcturus and the Revelation 12 Woman (shown in sketch below). Arcturus represents Jesus, as He leads His sons (and daughters) on a spiritual journey up a heavenward pathway, as is written… “Canst you bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or can you guide Arcturus with his sons?” Job 38:32.
.
.
.
.
.
.
MANKIND POINTS HEAVENWARD
.
As this flower represents the glory of Mankind, then the obvious message is this: even Mankind ultimately points to Jesus, because all Mankind eventually withers and falls away. And as humanity considers how fragile life is, then by their own sinfulness, and sadness and hopelessness, they unwittingly praise the Lord… “Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee: the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.” Psalm 76:10.
.
So the sinfulness of Mankind praises the Lord. Thus, the following Psalm then begins to make sense… “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalm 150:6.
.
So then, we could possibly say, that it’s virtually impossible for any creature not to praise the Lord. Romans makes this concept clear… “…our unrighteousness commend(s) the righteousness of God” Romans 3:5
.
So now it begins to make sense why this flower (which represents Mankind) is pointing to Arcturus (which represents Christ) as He leads this procession of constellations Heavenward (which represent His followers).

.
WHY IS THIS MAN POINTING DOWNWARD?
.
So then, it’s virtually impossible for any creature not to praise the Lord. Romans makes this concept clear… “…our unrighteousness commend(s) the righteousness of God” Romans 3:5
.
For instance, the atheist, as he grows old and sad and hopeless, only makes Christianity look that much more appealing to those who are questioning and searching which direction to go in life!
.
Those who are deluded by atheism are often tormented by nightmares of eternal blackness and nothingness, and hopelessness! But so often, the atheist will put on his or her best face, when out in public, so as to hide the fear inside. It really shows how atheism can eventually immerse a man (or woman) in hopelessness and despair, and all the more as they (and their loved-ones) grow nearer and nearer to the grave.
.
Listen… “(Humanity), through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:15
.
And of course, atheism only makes Christianity that much more appealing, as we see what that hopeless alternative called atheism really looks like!
.
So please come and explore how this constellation relates to Mankind…even to you and to me! First let’s go to Isaiah, to hear the Word of the Lord…

“THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS”
.
“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God…. The voice said, ‘Cry’. And he said, ‘What shall I cry?’
‘All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withers, the flower fades: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever.'”
Isaiah 40:3, 6-8.
.
This is the voice of “one crying in the wilderness“, proclaiming to us of the “vanity (meaninglessness and futility) and vexation of spirit” of this fallen world: that is, he proclaims to the world of the worthlessness and destruction which results from a life void of the love and simplicity of Christ.

WHO IS THIS MAN POINTING AT?
.
The cry of that voice in the wilderness is somewhat different than most believe. To the Jews this voice was merely a call to repentance. To those living today, this voice only speaks of a fiery judgment of an indignant God. And while both were partially correct: this voice does indeed speak of repentance, and does also speak of fiery judgment of an indignant God!
.
But in truth, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, is an appeal for Mankind to simply stop, and pause, and ask ourselves the question: “Why am I running to and fro after earthly pleasures and worldly treasures on such a hopelessly dying planet? And why am I focusing my affections so greatly on this lose-lose world, when there is something so much better, and so much more lasting…even EVERLASTING?”
.
Why is Mankind content to live only a few short years and then just die, returning to dust? Our glory is as that fading flower! Just listen again to that voice in the wilderness…
.
“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it:” Isaiah 40:6, 7

FLOWER OF THE FIELD CONSTELLATION…
.
(LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION…)
.
This constellation can best be seen in spring through summer in the southern sky just above the horizon. Like all constellations, it slowly moves westward through the months, appearing a little earlier each night. It also appears to move through the sky westward each night. It can be easily seen under most any degree of darkness. In other words, you don’t need a very dark night.
.
In this sketch, the ‘Flower of the Field’ Constellation `is in the lower part of this chart, directly under the Cross/Scepter Constellation. (The sketches in this site are approximate, and not 100% accurate. The individual stars have different brightness than seen here. But these sketches are close enough in order to find them in the night sky.)
.
This constellation presents one of the most beautiful verses in Scripture (of which there are many!). And yet that Scripture presents one of the most repugnant concepts (which unsaved Mankind has tried to elude for millenniums). And that concept is, that Mankind is like the grass that withers, and his glory as the wildflower that fades away. But God’s Word and those that love it will go on for ever and ever!

“THE FLOWER FADES…BECAUSE…THE LORD BLOWS UPON IT…”
Isaiah 40:7
.
If you go out in the s
pringtime, your lawn may be full of those pesky little yellow flowers commonly known as Dandelions. And yet, if it were not for the weeds that soon follow, those little yellow flowers would no doubt be very welcome additions to our lawns.
.
The Dandelion does well for a short time. For after a few days it springs forth, bright and beautiful! But when a hot blast from the east blows upon it, it quickly dries up, turning into dry spindles, as seen in the photograph below, on the lower right. This reminds us of the Bible verse at the top of the page where it says…
.
“The grass withers, the flower fades: because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people is grass.” Isaiah 40:7
.`
The Bible compares the Spirit of God to wind. If you notice in the sketch of the Summer Constellations, the Flower of the Field Constellation appears as a flower bent, as if the wind is blowing on it; a wind from the east… “The wind blows where it desires, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8
.
The above verse paints a beautiful picture of just how God leads his children. He is like a gentle breeze that pushes His children in the direction we must go.
.
But of course, the flower of the field is rooted in the earth. It cannot go with the gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit! It forever clings to the earth and eventually passes away, returning to the dust of the earth! And so it is with lost Mankind!

“IN THE DAY OF THE EAST WIND”
Isaiah 27:8
.
In the sketch
es below, the flower is bending westward. It’s as if an East Wind is blowing this Flower of the Field westward.
.
Scripture speaks a number of times about the East Wind… “Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?” Job 15:2.
.
In Scripture, the East Wind symbolized famine and destruction. Listen… “and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.” Genesis 41:28.
.
So here is seen a concept of which this Flower Constellation presents. And isn’t it true that it is NOT when people are having a good time that they seek after the Lord. No, it’s when times become bad, that they begin to turn back to God. So God purposely allows hard times to fall upon those whom He wishes to save…
.
LISTEN…“Because My people hath forgotten Me, they have burned incense to vanity…I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.” Jeremiah 18:15, 17.
.
This passage is not concerning some other people. No, this passage concerns both you and myself!

PUNISHMENT WITH PURPOSE
.
Yes, God brings trouble upon Mankind. But He does not do this merely to crush us. No, the Lord brings trouble upon us, in hope. And God’s great hope is that we will turn from our wicked and selfish ways, and return to the Lord.
.
Just listen to Lamentations… “But though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. For He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. To crush under His feet all the prisoners of the earth…Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.” Lamentations 3:32-34, 40.
.
So here it plainly reveals that God takes no pleasure in punishing Mankind, except that such afflictions will lead us to repentance.

.
ENDLESS TORTURE?!
.
One of the most utterly impossible notions ever conceived by the Church leaders from centuries past, is that God endlessly torments unbelievers!
.
What possible purpose could there be in that? Those who think that God merely punishes for the sake of punishment, need to really study the Bible carefully. Because, there is no place in the Bible that says that God punishes Man for any other reason than to bring men to repentance.
.
Oh yes, God does destroy a city or a nation, at times. But in every case, He did so quickly. And only after they had been repeatedly warned to repent. But never, never, did He keep them alive as long as possible, so as to make them needlessly suffer and suffer and suffer!
.
He never, never causes needless suffering… “For He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. To crush under His feet all the prisoners of the earth…Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.”
.
The problem is, that God has written the Bible in such a way, that it is easy to mis-interpret.
.
Listen… “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” 2nd Peter 3:16 . So here we see that the Bible can be a very difficult book at times.

ARCTURUS LEADS HIS HEAVENLY ENTOURAGE…
.
“The wind blows where it desires, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8
.
It can’t help but be noticed that the two birds are flying toward the west: the same direction the flower is bending. The above verse from John 3:8 says that those who are ‘born again’ will move in the same direction as the Spirit blows. Hence the Two Turtle-Doves Constellation symbolizes God’s people, who follow the Lamb wheresoever He goes…“These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.” Revelation 14:4
.
And to complete this concept, the star Arcturus leads these two birds, who follow him. So God is giving us an incredible picture of the Gospel.
.
The sons who follow Arcturus are the Believers.
.
The Two Turtle-Doves Constellation seems to depict God’s people, who follow Arcturus (Jesus).
.
The Revelation 12 Woman Constellation also represents God’s people who, after being freed from death by the blood of Jesus, are now free to follow Arcturus (Jesus).
.
And the Glorious Crown also represents God’s people who follow Arcturus (Jesus).
.
And now, since May 25th, 2014, we see another set of stars, known as “The Five Wise Virgins Stars”, as they too, follow Arcturus! (see these five stars between the Cross/Scepter and the Crown.)
.
Isn’t this an amazing constellation group? Everyone in this group is following Arcturus (Jesus). Even the Flower of the Field, representing fallen humanity, is pointing heavenward!
.

.
BACK TO THE FLOWER OF THE FIELD…
.
In this sketch below, the Flower of the Field Constellation is located at the bottom of the sketch, just below the Cross/Scepter Constellation. This constellation group is best seen in the spring and summer months. The “Two Turtle-Doves” are in the southern sky. The other constellations stretch northward to the “Woman of Revelation 12” Constellation in the far North.
.
The verse from Isaiah at the top of this page is repeated just a little differently in 1st Peter…
.
“For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away: But the Word of the Lord endures for ever.” 1st Peter 1:24, 25,
.
…or the following verse from Psalms 103… “As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.” Psalm 103: 15, 16
.

MAN’S FADING GLORY
.
“As for man, his da
ys are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.” Psalm 103: 15, 16
.
The above verses are basically giving the same concept as the verse from Isaiah at the top of this page. Mankind is like t
he grass that withers. Man’s glory is like the flower of the field that withers. The “Two Turtle-Doves” Constellation is following “Arcturus”. This “Flower of the Field Constellation” on the other hand is being blown by the wind of this heavenly entourage, which entourage is spoken of in Job… “Can you guide Arcturus with his sons?” Job 38:32. But the flower represents the glory of Mankind. It is a fading flower. It withers and dies. Listen to Isaiah, as God speaks of the world…
.
“But we all are like an unclean thing and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags and we do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away.” Isaiah 64:6
.
Here again in Isaiah, this same concept is repeated. But this time it is referring to God’s people… “we do fade as a leaf”, because of our sins. Below are more verses about sinful Mankind fading…

“TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON”
Ecclesiastes 3:1
.
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 2
.
The above passage from Solomon’s swan song, Ecclesiastes, tells that this world is on a time-line. There is a season for everything under the Sun. And of course, this entire world has been going through its own seasons. But just as the farmer burns his field at the end of harvest, so too, there will be a field burning of the entire Earth at the end of its harvest. Just listen…
.
“The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
“The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away,
“the haughty people of the earth do languish.
“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
“because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
“Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.” Isaiah 24:3-6

THIS HOPELESS PLANET…
.
.
If Mankind had not sinned, there would not have been a curse on Man. And Man would not have been as a fading flower.
.
But because we did rebel, God is pronouncing the same fate for the world, as He does upon the grass and flower. And don’t we see it right now? Don’t we witness the Earth getting more wicked and more hopeless every day? And no matter what Mankind might try to do, in order to “prop up” this dying planet, it is futile! It’s hopeless! The more programs which Man creates to solve Earth’s problem, the worse things get!
.
It’s now time for the harvest. And it’s now time to burn the fields, just like the farmer burns his empty fields at the end of harvest. And when the harvest is almost finished, the Scripture says…
.
“Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far, burning with His anger,
and the burden thereof is heavy: His lips are full of indignation,
and His tongue as a devouring fire:
And His breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck,
to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity:
and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.”
Isaiah 30:27
.
In the above verse God calls Himself a devouring fire. And God’s Word is the fire that will burn up the chaff at the end of the harvest. Scripture says in the New Testament that…“our God is a consuming fire”. (Hebrews the New Testament word “consuming” and the Old Testament word “devouring” are identical words)

FLOWER CONSTELLATION BOWS DOWN…
.
AUGUST 28TH, 2011
.
It has become apparent, on this date, that as summer draws to a close, this “Flower of the Field” “Constellation appears to bend almost completely down. This occurs as it travels into the western skies. It somehow rotates in order to produce this effect. This is a very wonderful phenomenon…and biblical too! After all, the Bible says “the grass withers and the flower falls away”. And that’s exactly what this flower constellation seems to do. It almost seems to be bowing itself…in the direction of that bright and beautiful star, “Arcturus” (which represents Jesus). This would make sense. After all, Scripture states…
.
“…unto Me (the Lord), every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear… Bel bows down, Nebo stoops… They stoop, they bow down together… Listen to Me… all you remnant of the house of Israel (God’s people)… which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am He… even I will carry, and will deliver you.” Isaiah 46″1-4 (condensed)
.
.
.
.
.
.
EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW
.
“…unto Me (the Lord), every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear… Bel bows down, Nebo stoops… They stoop, they bow down together… Listen to Me… all you remnant of the house of Israel (God’s people)… which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am He… even I will carry, and will deliver you.” Isaiah 46:1-4 (condensed)
.
Here, God is saying that the gods of this world will eventually fail. They will eventually bow 
under the heavy burden of sin and its destructive results. But the world will eventually suffer to the point, that every man, woman, and child will bow the knee to God. Confessing that Jesus is truly Lord. And we will bow and confess that we were wrong to have ever rebelled against God’s government.
.
“As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:11, 12. So it says here that “EVERY knee shall bow”.
.
But in the passage that states, (“And even to your old age I am he… even I will carry, and will deliver you.” Isaiah 46:4) there is a precious promise to all God’s true worshippers. That promise is this: Though we will also get old, just like the rest of Mankind…God will carry us, and deliver us. Mankind will perish…but he that does the will of God will abide forever!
.
.
.
.
.
.
HOPE FOR MANKIND…
.
But let’s just bring this down to the level of an individual person. We are born into this world and we grow until we are abo
ut 21 years old. At about that age, we reach full growth. And then, we gradually begin to deteriorate. By 35 we have noticeably deteriorated. We’re like that flower of the field that begins to lose its petals. Another 10 years pass, and we have lost more petals. By the time we reach 60 years, we’ve lost most. And so goes the dying process in a human. Then we die. And someone else is born, and we are like the grass that is mown down…
.
“He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass…They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him;” Psalms 72:6,9
.
Is that all there is to life? No. When we rebelled against God, we lost our eternal inheritance. We became like the grass that is soon cut down. Our glory is like that fading flower. But it doesn’t need to be that way. God has given us the “fountain of youth” so to speak.
.
That fountain is found in the Bible… “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believes on Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” John 7:37, 38
.

.
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH NOW AVAILABLE…
.
So then, every human who has come into this world has been given the opportunity to drink of that fountain. But many don’t. By our human nature, we just don’t wish to give up the world and all its tinsel-like allurements. And so we eventually wither and die, just like the flower of the field.
.
But if anyone does drink of that fountain of life, his or her soul begins to flourish. And though the body eventually dies, that person will be raised anew to live forever… forever in a place much more beautiful and wonderful than this waterfall photo to the right. A place so lovely and joyful, beyond what pen or tongue can tell.
.
“But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:14

DAY OF RECKONING…
.
So then, there is coming a day… “in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” John 5:28, 29.
.
At that time, those throughout history, who drank of that “Fountain of Youth”, will receive a new eternal body. And no more will we be like that withering grass. And 
nevermore will we be like that fading flower.
.
Oh, what a joyful day that will be!
.
And so it is high time that we turn our faces to the Sun of Righteousness; to Jesus, the Giver of Eternal Life. Let’s drink in those rays of golden Son-light. Let’s drink in that water from the “Fountain of Youth”.
.
“And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17
.
.
.
.
.
.
“SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (SHALL) ARISE”
.
“But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.” Malachi 4:2
.
And so it is high time that we turn our faces to the Sun of Righteousness; to Jesus, the Giver of Eternal Life.
.
Let’s drink in those rays of golden Son-light.
.
Let’s be like these sunflowers as they drink in the life-giving properties of the Sun.

The Signs of Heaven story begins with a flower (The Flower of the Field Constellation). But this heavenly love story ends with a flower as well. This is called the Flower of Heaven Constellation. And it is the perfect ending to God’s great Gospel, written in the Heavens.

A HEAVENLY HOBBY
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Lift up your eyes on high, and behold Who hath created these things; that brings out their host by number: He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth.” Isaiah 40:26
.
.
.
.
.
.
The above verse is a plea from God to look up at the Heavens and behold Who has created these 
things.
.
In this busy work-a-day world, there are many very interesting things which can occupy one’s time and energy: hobbies, and careers, and entertainments and 
worries, and habits, to name just a few.
.
But as the child of God devotes his or her life to God, there should be a jealous guarding of one’s own heart… “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23.
.
The Christian wants nothing to get in the way of running that Christian Race.

“AND WHEN YE SEE THESE THINGS…
.
LOOK UP, LIFT UP YOUR HEAD”
.
But having said this, there is one hobby which every ‘Noble Berean’ may take up, which only compliments the pursuit of the heavenly Prize.
.
Yes, Signs Of Heaven becomes a wonderfully rewarding hobby which, unlike many less meaningful hobbies, pays off with rich, heavenly rewards. Everlasting rewards!
.
And unlike the person in this photo with equipment, all you need is fairly good vision, and a dark, starry night.
.
And once a person really gets to know these heavenly messengers, it will become very apparent that the message connected with these signs is truly a message to be heeded.
.
Thus will the Christian be able to share this message with others. And there are perhaps many nuances and hidden biblical truths to these signs which have yet to be discovered.

FIRST FIND ORION & 7 STARS
.
The very first step in finding these many constellations, should be to find the two main constellations: Orion, and the 7 Stars (aka, The Big Dipper).
.
These two constellations represent Christ (Orion), and His Chur
ch (7 Stars).
.
And just as these are the easiest constellations to find, so too, the first place to begin studying the Bible is the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).
.
These four books present Christ and His Church, when He walked the earth, just as Orion and the 7 Stars represent Christ and His Church, as seen up in the heavens.
.
Then, once you are comfortable finding these two constellations, you can begin to locate the next closest constellations, and so on.

ANOTHER HEAVENLY HOBBY: PRAYER-WALKS
.
Now if you’re fortunate enough to be able to go on nightly walks, and you live in an area where you can safely view the stars, here is another Heavenly Hobby which Signs Of Heaven endorses…
.
Why not combine star-watching with prayer, as you walk? What a great way to draw closer to God!
.
It cannot be over-stressed, just how wonderful it is to walk under the dark canopy of Heaven, while lifting up one’s heart to our Heavenly Father! There is a closeness to God that cannot be described with words!
.
(And even if you cannot safely do this, you can always do such prayer-walks in the daytime, in a safe place, such as a mall, which is every bit as effective, prayer-wise.
.
And for those who are in confinement, one can view these starry signs on the Internet, or simply listen to Scripture on audio.
.
Either way, all such may enjoy God’s richest blessings at this very time in which God is pouring out all Heaven’s treasures upon anyone willing to forsake all, and follow Jesus!)

THRICE-DAILY PRAYERS
.
Now of course, the Bible commands us to, “pray without ceasing“. The Christian is to constantly talk with our Heavenly Father throughout the day.
.
But the Bible also holds up the godly life of Daniel, who, when captive in Babylon, still set aside three times daily, in which he knelt for special prayer.
.
And furthermore the Bible also says… “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” Psalm 55:17.
.
Even those who are bed-fast or in a prison cell can begin to imitate Daniel in this way. And if one is fortunate to be able to walk, then this thrice-daily prayer regimen can be combined with three walks daily and even nightly.
