Correction

I am corrected – don’t want dirty hands — make that dirty feet!

Psalm 24:3-5 King James Version (KJV)

3Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians. Breathe RED!

How Do You Read It?

Leave a comment

My Bible was open on my desk. I looked down and began to read without turning a page.

Habakkuk 2. 

I read it in the NASB. In the Message Bible. In the New Living Translation. In all three, the message is the same  – the Nation that forgets God is doomed to destruction.

3 “For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.
via Hab 2 NASB – God Answers the Prophet – I will stand – Bible Gateway.

Choose your translation and tell me what you see.  Particularly in the New Living Translation, verse 12 do you think of Planned Parenthood (and abortion mill ‘physicians’) getting rich on the blood of aborted babies? In verse 4 do you see politicians?

In verse 1 of the NASB do you see us standing guard; waiting to hear from ABBA; waiting to hear what directives He will give us to aid in the rescue those who will listen? I did. And I wonder when I will act instead of just talk (and write).

Memory Work

Leave a comment

Colossians 3:12 New International Version (NIV)

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
via Col 3:12 NIV – Therefore, as Gods chosen people, holy – Bible Gateway.

Looking at some old notes I penned to myself, I settled on this Scripture for us today.  There was not a date to tell when I was saying to myself: “Saved by Jesus, therefore I am chosen and because I am chosen I have been made holy. I am dearly loved. And since I am dearly loved I can be clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Perhaps when I am not so clothed I have in that moment forgotten that I am holy to Him and dearly loved. Perhaps there is a lot of forgetting in the Body of Christ these days. Perhaps some memory work is in order.

How about a little Bible Trivia that isn’t trivia? We know what kindness means, right?

What do you make of that? What does integrity have to do with kindness?  Hmmm. Any thoughts you are willing to share?

A Quick Hello, KWT Paraphrasing

These Are Mine

to meditate on today (yesterday too) and perhaps tomorrow.  Which are yours?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 Rejoice always;
17 pray without ceasing;
18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
via I Th 5:16-18 NASB – Rejoice always pray without ceasing in – Bible Gateway

For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus – He is not talking about that sickness or lack or burden, any of that –His will is for me (for you) to rejoice and pray and give thanks even in sickness or lack or burden as I wait for Him to get me (and you) through to the other side of it. Our ABBA is not the author of evil; however, in His infinite wisdom and perfect love He does allow it for a season. Why? One day we will know. Until then we will trust Him. We will believe and receive His love and His wisdom. That is we do and will if we want to please Him and keep our sanity.

It is rainy in lower Alabama today but HIS face is shining upon us.
