THINKING OUT LOUD. (My Journal)

For those with ears to hear and eyes to see.

Read the words to this hymn. Let them "speak" to your heart.

For those with ears to hear.

May this seep deep into your heart and minister to you.

In the beginning...

ALL was "PERFECT".

THINK about that s-l-o-w-l-y and meditatively.

"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." -Jeremiah 33:3

(When our thoughts gravitate to God and His Word, we are "calling" on Him. And He "answers". Thus the "puzzle pieces" start coming together and "fitting".)

My Goal Is God Himself.

(Words to this hymn written by Frances Brook)

For those with "ears to hear".

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." -Revelation 2:7

"He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." -Matthew 11:15

For those with ears to hear.

"Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes." -Maggie Kuhn

For those with ears to hear.

The real Trump.

"Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes." -Maggie Kuhn

For those with ears to hear.

"Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes." -Maggie Kuhn

For those with ears to hear.

And especially for those seeking escape/reprieve from voracious thoughts that fester and finally, devour us....

The "key" to a reprieve and/or a "defense" from these thoughts is:

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." -Philippians 4:8

"The joy of the Lord is your strength." -Nehemiah 8:10

(The "joy of the Lord" is actually "armor", and it's "lethal" to Satan and his agents and his minions. Who'd'a thunk, eh?)

For those with ears to hear.

Christians are NOT "perfect", just "forgiven". A "humble heart" is the "hallmark" and "fruit of the spirit" of a bona fide "Christian", who KNOWS that they are NOT perfect, and are in need of forgiveness because we struggle against the flesh and that struggle continues until our very last breath in this frail frame of a vessel in this "earthly body".

For those with ears to hear.

A question:

What does Isaiah 58:10 have to do with Jabez?

Praying an SOS prayer for Donald John Trump, my country, and us, the American people, and Israel at this most dire and urgent time.

Praying for Donald John Trump, that God strengthens and sustains him, and protects him and grants him all that he needs to carry on in this journey, in Jesus' name, to the God Who makes "possible" the seemingly "impossible", against a tsunami and THEN some, of odds, and Who can bring justice in the midst of a slithering "snakepit" of corruption. i'm praying to the very same God Who asks "Is anything too hard for Me?" (Jeremiah 22:37)

Amen.

For those with ears to hear.

Evil: Calling it what it is.

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" --Isaiah 50:20-21
