Follower of Yeshua. Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother. Some call me a teacher. Some say I'm a prayer warrior. A few accredit me with some writing skills. Me? I say I'm a work in slow progress, looking for perfection in eternity and until then having all the holy fun I know how.
Just a quick, short thought to share this morning. Admittedly, taken out of context and lifted from the situation.
Job 8:11-12(AMP)11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes or reed grass grow without water? 12 “While it is still green (in flower) and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant [when without water].source
I know little about papyrus (perhaps I’ll go to Duck, Duck Go a little later and read up on it) but without water, it withers faster than other vegetation. That’s what the verses say.
So do I. So do we. Without the Water of The Word, we wither quickly — before morning coffee if The Water of The Word is not our First Drink.
Papyrus, writing material of ancient times and also the plant from which it was derived, Cyperus papyrus (family Cyperaceae), also called paper plant. The papyrus plant was long cultivated in the Nile delta region in Egypt and was collected for its stalk or stem, whose central pith was cut into thin strips, pressed together, and dried to form a smooth thin writing surface.
11 “What strength do I have left, that I should wait [and hope]?And what is ahead of me, that I should be patient and endure? From Job 6 – source
I have in my soul felt what Job described here, yet for a minuscule of the misery compared to his.
And GOD delivered him to a future he could not have imagined.
This corrects me and encourages me. :) You’re welcome. Job 42:10 When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!
16 Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren.17 Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.source
I am stunned; not that this is reported to have happened but that this video is still available to offer it to you. If memory serves it was recorded in May of this year and was released to YouTube June 10, 2020.
Father GOD, You know if these things are factual, all or even in part; I cannot let this go by without coming to You with it. People dying so others can be made rich; or people dying because it is expedient; people refusing to do what is right; any of these scenarios are tragic and inexcusable and I am praying for Your intervention. I am praying that You will see to it that their deaths are not overlooked and covered up. I am asking You to see to it that accountings are brought to focus. I pray those who have done these evil deeds will seek You for forgiveness and salvation, and also be legally held accountable for their criminal acts. I pray families will be comforted and will find peace and wholeness in You. And I pray that You will rid us of this virus but even more importantly that You will bring revival to We the People in JESUS name
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
