Gleanings

Tomorrow, LORD willing,  I will be moving into the reading of Joshua.
Today was the finish of Deuteronomy.  I am grateful for the gleanings.

I have a picture and a few questions for you. img_1731-1
Do you see what was the sin that prevented Moses from setting foot onto the Promised Land? Aaron too for that matter, but Aaron died even earlier than did Moses.  What else do you see? Do you read Scripture with a mind open to hear what HOLY SPIRIT has to say to you? I hope so. That is my hope too, for myself, and so far this year has been the best in recent memory.
May I encourage you, please, to READ SCRIPTURE.

Until next time, 
Holy hugs, Kathie img_1715

Contemplating

 I am thinking of children as I read Deuteronomy 31:12 and 13. 

12Assemble the people—men, women, children, and the foreigners within your gates—so that they may listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and to follow carefully all the words of this law. 13Then their children who do not know the law will listen and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”  source 

IMG_3204-2127318746Children left alone to find GOD alone is most sad to me and I think GOD is not pleased with parents who adopt the way of the evil one to not influence their children to choose GOD; who do not study Scripture for themselves,  nor intentionally and consistently read and impart Scripture to their children. I think this from the verses above.

Imperatively what does Scripture teach us that GOD wants? 

See you next time, Holy hugs, Kathie 

Descriptive Words

The people and reasons to pray are many this morning, every morning, and all day.
We are a needy people – the People of GOD.
Others are too but tragically and sadly they don’t know where they can get real and lasting help. I want them to know.
And yet that is not why I came here today.

I came to talk about comfort and correction.
I came because I have prayed for comfort and correction this morning; for me and others.
Comfort because this mortal life is hard and correction because I am flawed enough to make it harder — I need correction.
With opened eyes, I see I am not the only one. All of us mortals need correction – the saved and the lost of us.

So that was my prayer, (is my prayer) Father, please correct us. Please rid us of all the dross in our day-to-day mortality that hinders us from . . . from basking in all that is holy and good.

What descriptive words! refine-silver-gold-1024x1024-2161187127

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.  2 Corinthians 1 

Until we meet again,
