Scriptural Address

As I sit to bring a word or two to you come Tuesday morning, this has been a day I appreciate.

Lots of reading and some prayer journaling and after lunch working in the backyard with my J.; yes it has been a day to make me smile.
I hope you have smiled today too.

2 Timothy 2 contains marvelous counsel for us. 

23 Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 
24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 
25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. 
26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants. source 

That is so plain, how could we miss it?
Are you like me, in need of practice here?
Let’s practice together.
Let’s be People of The Word together.

Today’s reading – Tuesday; if you are reading along is Isaiah 61.
That is a precious Scriptural Address to me. 
More than a couple of decades ago before the dawn of a workday, I sensed HOLY SPIRIT telling me to turn to Isaiah 61.
Next, I heard myself say aloud, LORD, I don’t even know if there is an Isaiah 61

There is. :)

Satisfaction


Hebrews 12:2 King James Version

For the joy that was set before Him —
 
Do you see it? 
It was foretold in Isaiah and confirmed again and again; like here in Hebrews. 

That joy, that satisfaction was procuring our salvation.

 

Snow

Snow.
I am giving thanks for snow today; not that I see much of it here in L.A. 

But all the same, snow. 

At this time of year and in certain movies snow is honored and nearly worshipped.
It seems to make all things alright.
It seems to be the thing that makes the season of Christmas, Christmas in the movies. 
The final touch, we might say.

If only people would let snow speak to them. 

Snow.
Made of exquisite individual flakes. 

I have a link for you and I hope you will read it.
The Science of individual snowflakes is cause for awe of GOD our Creator. 

How do snowflakes form? Get the science behind snow

Would you please consider this with me? 
Snowflakes.
Individual.
Unique.
Yet each and every one of them is a six-sided snowflake. No two alike but all with the same makeup. 

Sound familiar? 
Humans. No two alike but all with the same makeup. 

At the center of each snowflake, as white and bright as they are, is a tiny particular of pollen or dust. 
The very center of the snowflake is not white at all. 

Neither are we at our centers, White.
We are dark and desperately need the WHITE (Righteousness) of JESUS CHRIST to make us fresh and new.
Shall we say like freshly created, untouched snow, glistening and bright?

O to be that! Untouched by sin. Clean, white as dazzling snow, and bright. 
We can be; we are IF we are IN CHRIST JESUS

 
Snow. 
I hope going forward when you are privileged to see snow you will remember what you have read here today and that you will be sure you have given that dust particular at the very core of you to JESUS and if not, that the very next time HE offers to make YOU whiter than SNOW that you immediately respond: YES!
