A Tree and Fall

Leave a comment

Good Saturday morning!

Another week has zipped through our hands. I am wondering how much slipped by without its due notice. No doubt some. From my view vantage this morning I am noticing my parasol tree’s leaves have turned, mostly yellow now. 

The sun is shy this morning and the temps are cooler. I think Fall is finally in the air here in LA.

Mainly, I’m just touching base and saying hello. I think I don’t have a lot to say these days.
This world is a mess but GOD is still good.
As beautiful as is my view from this desk I know life is hard and getting more — more what? What is life here? Oh yes — a vapor.

James 4:14 New King James Version
14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.  source

Nothing Much

Saturday morning. 
Sunshine and green with small and few struggling brown swatches of mower fodder I see from my opened-blind window. 
And the clock ticks, ticks, ticks as the pendulum sways. 
Pages lay open waiting to be read. 
Cold coffee awaiting the drain. 
Quiet sounds; distance traffic and the ringing in my ears. :)

A lovely Saturday indeed. 

A picture is worth a thousand words some say . . .  is it? 

 

 

1 Thessalonians, 2021, A Quick Hello, For What It's Worth To You

I had some sad thoughts this morning. Even so, I am grateful for the remedy.

People.

They don’t listen. They don’t hear. Fear has closed their ears and their eyes to truth.

They are so weary of information, they don’t want to read anymore. So they don’t.

They are so weary of the process they are just going along with whatever comes.

Strength, a will to stand, has been beaten out of them, so they just don’t try anymore.
They just do as they are told.

So what do we do for them when they no longer hear nor see?

We pray.

It may even mean for a season we close our mouths for the trying to convince them and open our hearts and our voices to FATHER on their behalf.
Name them before Him.
Name what they will not hear and ask Holy Spirit to open their hearts to hear and see truth before it is too late.

Amen and amen.

The Mouths that Speak

Here just to share some thoughts with fellow saints of GOD.

It seems to me as best we are enabled by Holy Spirit we need to make NOT another decision based on the fear we are daily fed.
As best we are enabled by Holy Spirit, I pray we quickly learn to
ascertain the better places to go, and not to go;
what to do, what not to do,
what to say, what not to say,
what to buy, what not to buy,
what to read, what not to read,
what to watch, what not to watch,
what to allow ourselves to hear, and not to hear,
who to place confidence in, who to NOT place confidence in, 
based on what The Scripture and Holy Spirit within us instructs us. 

This does not mean we do not listen to counsel but it does mean that EVERY counsel that does not line up with that KNOWING in our GUT from Holy Spirit backed up by Holy Writ, we immediately reject and go in the opposite direction.
Let us carefully consider the character and the lifestyle of the mouth speaking to us. 

Based on what we have experienced, what we are experiencing, and what the Bible reveals, I suspect the evil one and those with skin on their faces he has deceived into doing his bidding are not going to stop until they have destroyed every last ounce of goodness, freedom, and human dignity on this planet. 
We might as well bend our knees to GOD alone, hold up our heads and go forth in wisdom to embrace every opportunity to live right in this wrong world, live well with what Father provides, love one another and share the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST until we open our eyes in Heaven.

10 “And now, O our God, what can we say after all of this? For once again we have abandoned your commands!
11 Your servants the prophets warned us when they said, ‘The land you are entering to possess is totally defiled by the detestable practices of the people living there. From one end to the other, the land is filled with corruption.
12 Don’t let your daughters marry their sons! Don’t take their daughters as wives for your sons. Don’t ever promote the peace and prosperity of those nations. If you follow these instructions, you will be strong and will enjoy the good things the land produces, and you will leave this prosperity to your children forever.’

13 “Now we are being punished because of our wickedness and our great guilt. But we have actually been punished far less than we deserve, for you, our God, have allowed some of us to survive as a remnant.
14 But even so, we are again breaking your commands and intermarrying with people who do these detestable things. Won’t your anger be enough to destroy us, so that even this little remnant no longer survives?
15 O Lord, God of Israel, you are just. We come before you in our guilt as nothing but an escaped remnant, though in such a condition none of us can stand in your presence.”  source
