A Paper and Ink Copy

4 Aug 2021 Kathie Whitestone Thompson 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?

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

⁴Yea, 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.

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

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.

²⁴This 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.

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

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

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

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

²⁸You are my God, and I thank you. You are my God; I exalt you.
²⁹Give 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 ~ ~ ~

It’s July 5, 2021, almost the 6th at this typing

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.

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

We were made for this,

There is no such Thing

As a safe abortion.

EVERY abortion is an attempt to KILL a baby (certainly not safe for the baby) AND
EVERY abortion strikes a blow to the soul of the mother that will sooner or later (without Divine Intervention) destroy her (not safe for her either). Romans 6:23

There are NO SAFE ABORTIONS.

To every woman that advocates the ‘product of conception’ is a vegetable, a mass of cells, etc., please don’t share that with any little boy or little girl that you actually do let live to Term.

Let them think you always loved them, that they were always precious to you from the moment you knew he or she had been conceived.

GOD knew them and loved them from day 1; from the very moment, your partner’s sperm fertilized your egg. Yes, at that moment your DNA and his DNA comingled and a unique, never to be repeated, ONE FLESH became real (alive).

The Bible tells us the blood of Abel cried out to GOD when his brother Cain killed him with a rock. Genesis 4
The blood of 60 million-plus Babies is being heard.
HE will give those Babies justice one day.

And HE will forgive every mother who has aborted her baby IF she will repent. 1 John 1:9

I would to GOD that women and men would believe Science AND the BIBLE and let their Babies live.
Psalm 139:13-18

Babies cannot choose their parents.
But Mothers and Daddies given the opportunity will choose that baby you did not want.

There are NO SAFE ABORTIONS.

Why?
Why this post when it is so controversial?
Why when there are so many arguments, so many who are hell-bent on keeping a legal right to kill their babies?
