Musing

Leave a comment

My thoughts are saturated. The heaviness of it is uncomfortable. A dark shroud pressing down, close by and far away, across the street and from State to State.

We are deceived.

The enemy smirks, leaps with perverted glee, and we do not see.
But I do see.
What do I do with this candlelight of knowledge?
Put it under a bushel? Blow it out?

The prince and power of the air-he reigns. He owns the place, illegally now, but is still in possession. Held in his grip and sway – all the victims blind and deceived.

Hours and hours, days, months, and years – generation upon generation watches the screens. Screens with images he has prescribed and contrived to while away the time and paralyse the mind.
And he does.
The masses are convinced – no fault, no foul – it’s innocent, we are just amusing ourselves, children and adults alike.
Not so! Not so at all!
And then comes to mind, and now the lips ‘for every idle word we shall give an account’.  Matthew 12:36
Is it not fitting to believe this includes all that we see to watch?

Idle hands (and numbed minds) are indeed the devil at work. 

Musing: Deep in thought; contemplative.
Amusing: diverting

Father, it’s written now. I’d be honored if it is worthy of use to You, not to defeat and depress People, but to open hearts and minds to consider You, and that you are so very worthy of our time and devotion.

Wondering about Ears

Leave a comment

Here’s what I am thinking about this morning. 

Mark 4: 9 Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”  LINK to source

Revelation 2: 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God.  LINK to source 

Here in Revelation 2 was not the first time John had heard JESUS say ‘he who has an ear let him hear.’
Does your sanctified imagination run like mine, wondering about the Apostles, hearing what JESUS said with their physical ears, and then, after He was gone back to Heaven, picturing Him in their minds and hearing the words He said again? I wonder if when John was on the Isle of Patmos and heard those words again, did he smile and think, ” I’ve heard You say that before. I wonder did hearing those words again give him even more confirmation that he was indeed speaking with The LORD JESUS. 
This I am not wondering about, I am fully confident that YESHUA was the best student ever! He studied Scripture from childhood and used it for strength, wisdom, and guidance all His earthly life as The GODMAN.  Who are we to not follow His Lead and study to show ourselves approved?  (2 Timothy 2:15)

Good morning, my Friends  ~~~ Holy hugs, Kathie

Sharing Comfort

Leave a comment

2 Samuel 11 and 7 words from verse 1 of 12. 

As I read Chapter 11 of 2 Samuel my spirit grieved; there was a tightness, a pain in my core as I read again David’s sins.  They are recorded for our learning. 
For us to learn the heart of GOD.

Verse 27.  It ends this way: But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.

Do you see that? 
GOD saw. And GOD saw it was EVIL. 
GOD always sees. He knows. Sin-Evil is not hidden from Him. 
And I believe He grieved for David when David violated Bathsheba, Uriah, the Nation, and The Logos of GOD Himself.  I am convinced He grieves for us when we violate His Word too.  

Why? 
Chapter 12 and the first 7 words. They spoke to me and I received their holy comfort. I am offering a portion of my comfort to you.

“Then the LORD sent Nathan to David”

So beautiful, so comforting, so glorious to me.
GOD sent His Messenger with GOD’s Message to David. 
The Message  – my paraphrase?  I hope you will read His Message in 2 Samuel 12 for yourself. 

REPENT and I will forgive you, restore you, and fellowship with you again. 

Sinners, violators of The Word of GOD, wayward children — what better message could we receive?!
The message is Today will you receive the GIFT of Repentance?
It’s not being judgmental, condemning, cruel, hard, harsh, or any such words that have been used to describe proclaiming the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST.  
Nope. It’s offering the BEST COMFORT in the Universe to someone poor, blind, and naked. 

Who wouldn’t want that?!


Until Next Time, Kathie 

P.S. David repented. Let us do likewise.
