First Drink

Just a quick, short thought to share this morning. Admittedly, taken out of context and lifted from the situation.  

Job 8:11-12 (AMP)11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes or reed grass grow without water?  12 “While it is still green (in flower) and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant [when without water].source


I know little about papyrus (perhaps I’ll go to Duck, Duck Go a little later and read up on it) but without water, it withers faster than other vegetation. That’s what the verses say.

So do I. So do we. Without the Water of The Word, we wither quickly — before morning coffee if The Water of The Word is not our First Drink.

Good Wednesday Morning . . .

Update.
From Britannica

Papyrus, writing material of ancient times and also the plant from which it was derived, Cyperus papyrus (family Cyperaceae), also called paper plant. The papyrus plant was long cultivated in the Nile delta region in Egypt and was collected for its stalk or stem, whose central pith was cut into thin strips, pressed together, and dried to form a smooth thin writing surface.

Minuscule of Misery

11 “What strength do I have left, that I should wait [and hope]? And what is ahead of me, that I should be patient and endure? From Job 6 – source


I have in my soul felt what Job described here, yet for a minuscule of the misery compared to his.

And GOD delivered him to a future he could not have imagined.

This corrects me and encourages me.  :)
You’re welcome.
Job 42:10 When Job prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his fortunes. In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!

16 Job lived 140 years after that, living to see four generations of his children and grandchildren. 17 Then he died, an old man who had lived a long, full life.  source

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I Am Stunned

I am stunned; not that this is reported to have happened but that this video is still available to offer it to you. If memory serves it was recorded in May of this year and was released to YouTube June 10, 2020.

 

Father GOD, You know if these things are factual, all or even in part; I cannot let this go by without coming to You with it. People dying so others can be made rich; or people dying because it is expedient; people refusing to do what is right; any of these scenarios are tragic and inexcusable and I am praying for Your intervention. I am praying that You will see to it that their deaths are not overlooked and covered up. I am asking You to see to it that accountings are brought to focus. I pray those who have done these evil deeds will seek You for forgiveness and salvation, and also be legally held accountable for their criminal acts. I pray families will be comforted and will find peace and wholeness in You. And I pray that You will rid us of this virus but even more importantly that You will bring revival to We the People in JESUS name

 

 

I Never Dreamed

A friend posted the following on her Facebook feed. She admits she did not author it but that it accurately describes her thoughts. Mine too.

I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here.

But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so filled with hate that they will agree with opinions that if they were in their right minds they would never express as their own. It’s absolutely unbelievable. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone…..then I saw this and I think that it’s pretty close to describing how I feel.

I’m not starting a fight, but it is something to think about. This may open up a ton of outraged comments by some. Many who will argue how “wrong” this post is. My suggestion, save your time and effort! You’re not changing the reality of what we are living by trying to somehow justify this insanity. Nevertheless, I couldn’t resist because we are becoming the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!

      • If a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
        • Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
        • Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
        • It was cool for Joe Biden to “blackmail” the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
        • Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
        • People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
        • Inflammatory rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.
        • People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
        • Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated, or your child is vaccinated or they cannot attend school.
        • Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
        • $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
        • If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
        • People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
        • We see other countries going Socialist (a rebranded word for Communist) and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to some of you.
        • Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
        • Criminals are catch-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it’s a violation of THEIR rights.
        •People waving American flags at peaceful freedom rallies are considered dangerous and violent white nationalists who must be stopped yet anarchists who burn, loot, and deface property while burning the American flag are powerful youth exercising their first amendment rights.
        • And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us “racists”?!

Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right, where darkness is light and light is now darkness.

Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water and sinking fast. There’s only one life boat that can save you, and that is Jesus Christ. You can either get in or go down with the ship into the deep dark sea of eternal death. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!

Not my words but very accurate and disturbing!
