Not a Rock?

Leave a comment

To the Elite.
To the Screamers, demanding more and more control over the Common Folk.

When are you going to understand Cain KILLED his brother Abel? I was going to say with a ROCK, but guess what?
That’s not likely.
Neither was it a gun. (Click HERE for an interesting opinion.)

HATE always finds a way to kill – be it with words, bitterness, legislation, mandates, knives, rocks, stones, bombs, bio-weapons (like the present v$r$s, etc), vehicles, and yes guns.

People filled with hate kill.

Moreover, we cannot legislate or mandate hate away.
ONLY GOD can enable a human to stop hating another human.
Albeit, strict adherence to LAWS already on the books would at least curtail the outward act of killing, it would still not stop the hate in the souls of humans. 

And you the Elite screaming gun control and all the other controls (and there are many) you want over the masses of people, your very lives make it abundantly clear you yourselves have rejected the very ONE Who can subdue the violence – one person at a time.
But you want no part of HIM.
You want to silence HIM and His People. 
Why is that?

A Paper and Ink Copy

Leave a comment

Hello, y’all, I have a few rhetorical questions for you prompted by a disturbing realization that I am in the process of rectifying. 
Last evening with lights out for the night and in the quiet before sleep I was running Scripture through the halls of my mind and I discovered that I could not quote the whole of Psalm 23. Parts were missing! I reached for my phone, selected my Bible app, and read Psalm 23 more than once. 

What if you could not lay your hands on your Bible app or your leather-bound copy of Holy Writ, how many verses of Scripture could you run through your mind?
How many verses of comfort, strength, wisdom, instruction, direction, remedies for fear, and the like would you be able to lay hold to with no access to a printed Bible or a Digital One?
It’s something to ponder, isn’t it?

Let’s say you do have your leather-bound Copy but no working URL window to type in the few words you can remember of a particular verse, how long would it take you to find it in your leather-bound copy of your Bible? 

Psalm 23 NKJV

1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

A few more.
Do you have a paper and ink copy of the Bible? 
What is your preferred translation? 
Do you read more than one translation?
Do you have a favored translation for study and another for just pleasure reading?
Do you read Scripture just for the pleasure of it? 

Thanks for visiting . . .

Solace for Today

Psalm 118.
The verse we are most familiar with just might be verse 24.

24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.  source

Let’s look at a few other verses. I hope they will encourage you. 
In these trying days, The Scriptures are a solace and a place of strength and encouragement for me. I hope they are for you as well. 

5 In my distress I prayed to the Lord,
    and the Lord answered me and set me free.
6 The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear.
    What can mere people do to me?
7 Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me.
    I will look in triumph at those who hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in people.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
    than to trust in princes.  source

13 My enemies did their best to kill me, but the Lord rescued me.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. source

26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Adonai. We bless you from the house of Adonai.

27 Adonai is God, and he gives us light. Join in the pilgrim festival with branches all the way to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I thank you. You are my God; I exalt you.
29 Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good, for his grace continues forever.  source

For He is good. 
Yes. Always and forever He is good. 

Let us remember this today. 
He is always good and we are always loved. 

Until Next Time ~ ~ ~

What are you praying about tonight? 
What is pressing your soul? 
Don’t give up — The Father cares more than your mind can imagine and more than your heart can take in.  He does love you, especially when it FEELS like maybe He does not. 

 

Psalm 145:17-19  New Living Translation 

17 The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
    he is filled with kindness.
18 The Lord is close to all who call on him,
    yes, to all who call on him in truth.
19 He grants the desires of those who fear him;
    he hears their cries for help and rescues them.   source
