2025, Isaiah, Just A Thought 2025, Questions

Carry On!

These 4 words in Isaiah 1 compelled a note in the margin of my Bible.

Learn to do right;

Doing right does not come naturally; we must learn to do right.

We must be taught to do right.

When does this teaching begin? And who is the teacher/teachers?

And following that verse comes one that many know well.

Come now, let us reason together…

What are we reasoning with GOD about?

SIN!

It’s a big deal! It’s a deal breaker. It’s what separates us. The first thing we must learn for life is sin is bad, and GOD is good.

And next…

if you are willing and obedient…

That sounds like a promise to me.

From just a few verses into Isaiah 1.

I’ll leave it with you. Carry on.

Ephesians 6:10 – Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Thank You for each person, be they from here or abroad.
I am honored, Father, for each click of the mouse that lands someone here. I ask that You particularly bless them. Thank You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I could not do this without You nor do I ever want to. Amen and amen.

Sitting in a Draft File

Let me say:
I see the motive behind this word picture 462426709_8316880275014462_2137831628268969859_n I scrolled across today on my Facebook feed.
We want to identify with others, we want to be honest, and we don’t want to appear all high and mighty like we have it all together.

But wait a minute, how encouraging is it really for a struggling soul to come to another soul struggling? What are we doing, comparing our battle wounds; comparing our defeats?
Doesn’t someone need to demonstrate there is Victory in JESUS?

Ring Woes

31 Jan 2025 Kathie Whitestone Thompson Leave a comment

I’ve developed some knuckle issues – uncomfortably enlarged.

About a month ago I had to have my wedding band and my engagement ring cut off — Windex nor any other substance would get those rings over my swollen knuckle. Nothing could be done but allow that little jewelry saw to give my swollen finger imperative relief. And then there was a waiting period to let my injured finger heal. It was a long month but the time came to measure my finger to ascertain how much to enlarge my engagement ring so it would fit over my knuckle so I could safely wear it again.

I opted for a really narrow wedding band to compliment the restored engagement ring, giving my finger a permanent respite from crowding. And now with measurements complete, more waiting . . .

May I now tell you the reason for sharing my ring woes with you?

You see I really am so eager to get my ring back.
I think about it — often!
I am looking forward to that day in mid-February.

Today upon acknowledging this to myself I thought of JESUS. I thought of seeing Him, of His return to earth and I said, I should have a similar, no, I should be much more eager to see Him than get my ring back; to see Him return here to earth and take up His Rightful Place, to see His glorious Face, Face to face. Oh, yes eagerness for His return is only proper! Very proper for every one of us who has been born from above.
The truth is if we have no eagerness (no love for His Appearing) for His return, we need to open ourselves to some cross-examination to see if we are in the Faith.

8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing. (KJV) emphasis mine 2 Timothy 4

That’s about it. That’s what I wanted to share with you today. May your weekend be long on sweet. 😊
